Well Maybe some peoples will tell that to get real friends in net is not possible but ( now i must say) I had friend for over 2years over internet, we had a lot of great moments and memories, Until I started To Earn a bit more from internet For past 5months, I shared with him everything but Now I'm asking myself why Did I done it. So here comes the story- Before 5months I launched one website which was based on affilate ( from cj.com ) I failed with that website, but still got from it check for $2000 To make this website up or supporting me he done 0% and said that I will fail and on that way but I get some money from it so I was pretty angry to him, but now when I received check for that $2000 I showed it to him and said that I need to give him his part 50%, but I felt so stupid than WHAT HIS 50% part what he have done to make it and I said many times no and no, because it's not small money from it specially when I'm helping my family with finances and now he asks for $1000 just for nothing saying that it's his part! But It wasn't joke from his side he really requested me to give him that money just for nothing... later here on DP I made some website sales and than he said to me that I will post such a bad things about that website and me , what isn't false if I won't promise to him that I will give him $1000 once I will receive money from that check , and that day have come and he keeps requesting me that $1000 and saying me all the time that I have gave him promise, BUT how YOU COULD CALL A REAL PROMISE IF HE PUSHED ME ACTUALLY TO SAY THAT i WILL GIVE HIM THAT MONEY( where he worked 0% of the work to get it) or he will destroy for me everything. Now he have started to Take action just because I haven't give him what he haven't earned and worked to get it, If I would be millionaire than that $1000 would be nothing to me but since I'm not earning that much than it's really huge money for me what I just can't give away for nothing. Specially that I have gave him loans which he haven't gave me back and now he is just asking for more and more, I have now realised that all time he was using , and all time as I know him he haven't started any online biz. But he uses internet 24/7 just for nothing , and now he shows his real face. So what you suggest me to do? Do I need to give to someone $1000 just for nothing, if he is just saying that he will do something bad. Or Just Leave him to do it. I really didn't thought that a friend can change so badly.
Well I found that really hard to read - but I gathered this: You promised to give him 50% of a venture, you made $2000, and now don't want to give him 50% of it? If that's a the case, if you promised him 50% and never said he had to do anything, he's entitled to it imo. $1000 is a lot of money, and to think you're receiving that and then being told you're not would upset even the best of people.
just give him the money and call off your friendship. 1000 is some money, but if 1000 can show a friend's real face, it worth it
By the sounds of it you promised him 50% of the profit without saying that he needed to help out. If this is the case you do owe him the money. If you specificly said that he needed to help out then you owe him squat, and if he persists get a court order to keep him away.
How can call him a friend while you sold him for 1000$ ? You have really set a price for him ... 1k ! a real friend can't be worth money you will never make the million which you are talking about since you are selling your friends and setting a value to each one
When money is involved, people who you knew for years can turn on you in a second. I guess if your heart is already set on not saving your friendship then give him the $1k and call it even.
First rule is not to mix friendship with business... Ever... Its one of them things that pops up over and over again. There are books written about it!
i don't see where you agreed to give up half of what you make, unless i missed it. what i do see is a leach and not really a friend at all. if he bad mouths you here at DP it will only get him banned, so thats not a worry. if you didn't agree to pay him half, then tell him to shove off. you don't need friends like that.
This is a difficult situation. To me it looks like your "friend" is using you - you keep on loaning him money and he does not return em. If the amount you loaned is less then 1000$, then subtract it from 1000, and give that remaining amount to your friend and forget he ever existed.
