So this is really dumb but I need outside opinions. For New Year’s my friend group rented a party bus. Everyone was drunk, laughing, having a good time and the bus had a stripper pole. I’m 25 and brought my date (mid 40s). My close friend is 28 and brought her boyfriend (30 something).
At some point my date asked me to dance for him and I did. It was playful drunk New Year’s energy. He started throwing money at me as a joke. Then my friend’s boyfriend also started throwing money. I did not acknowledge him, dance on him, touch him, or interact with him at all. I was focused on my date and honestly just having fun in the moment.
Later my friend said I disrespected her relationship. I told her I understood how she felt but I didn’t think I crossed a line. The next day she called me and said we should split the money I made on the bus and that’s when it really escalated. I said no and now the group isn’t really talking to me.
What’s confusing to me is this same friend has always been super territorial over me, hates most of my other friends for no real reason, and has made passes at me before and hinted multiple times about wanting a threesome with her and her boyfriend which I declined. So I’m genuinely confused how this was disrespectful when she herself disrespects her relationship.
it’s starting to piss me off. Do I owe her an apology or some kind of grand gesture or am I being dragged into something that isn’t that serious.
Info: did you keep the money her bf threw?
Lmao keep that money. She’s a dummy for asking AND for keeping a boyfriend that watches his girlfriends friend dance and throws money at his girlfriends friend. Keep your money.
NTA. You were having a good time, your friend’s BF chose to insert himself into a dance you were doing for your BF. If your friend takes issue with this she should be talking to her BF, not you. Keep the money – friend’s BF gave it to you, your friend doesn’t get to ask for it back. Imagine if her BF went to a strip club and she showed up the next day asking for all the money he spent back. It’s ridiculous, and super-entitled. Might be time to reconsider if you want these people in your life.
