We've all had that one friend who mysteriously disappears from our lives, leaving us wondering what went wrong. But what if they suddenly reappear, not just to catch up, but to ask for a favor? One man found himself in this exact situation when his former college roommate, who had ghosted him for over a year, reached out with a surprising request. Let's dive into this tale of friendship, betrayal, and the ultimate question: should you support someone who's left you high and dry? 😲

A Bitter Pill to Swallow: Friendship or Financial Gain? 💊💔
Our protagonist found himself questioning the true nature of his former friendship after being ghosted for over a year, only to have his ex-roommate reappear with a request for financial support. Was this an honest attempt to reconnect, or a manipulative ploy to fund his missionary work? The internet weighed in with their thoughts, and it seems that the consensus is clear: our hero is in the right to feel betrayed and used. Sometimes it's better to cut ties and move on from those who only show up when they want something. 💔😢
