My bf and I have a joint savings account. I’m a student while he’s been working for two years so he’s the only one contributing to the account.

A few months ago, a good friend of mine wanted to buy something expensive so she borrowed $700 from me. My personal savings account has very little money so I used money from the joint account to lend my friend.

My friend told me that she will return me the money by last month but she hasn’t done so. I’m not surprised because she has a habit of forgetting to return money

e.g. whenever we go out to eat, I would pay for the meal first but she would often forget to return me her portion of the bill. Although she is a mutual friend of me and my bf, my bf dislikes her because of this.

Today, my bf asked me if my friend has returned me the $700. When I told him that she hasn’t returned, he asked me to remind her to return the money.

I told him that it would be embarrassing to ask her to return the money. Thus, he said he can help me to ask her to return the money.

$700 is not a big amount so I don’t understand why he is so determined to get the money back. Granted, that $700 comes from the joint account, which consist of his money.

But since it is a joint account, the money inside also belongs to me. That gives me the right to do whatever I want with the joint account.

If my friend really forget to return the money then so be it. I would just take it as I bought a $700 gift for my friend. No big deal.

I really hate that my bf is so calculating. Why would he even want to ask her to return the $700? It’s not even a lot of money. I really hate guys who are calculating. Should I just dump him?
