She Wants To Skip Her Cousin’s Expensive, Lavish Wedding Since He Hasn’t Paid Her Back The $5,000 She Loaned Him Years Ago
A few years ago, this 31-year-old woman loaned her cousin Mike, who’s 34, $5,000 when he was in a tough spot.
She didn’t hesitate to lend him a hand at the time because they’d always been very close. Mike also promised to pay her back as soon as possible, and she fully trusted him.
Yet, now that her cousin is throwing a super lavish wedding and still hasn’t cleared his debt with her, she is furious.
For some context, whenever she’s brought up the money over the years, Mike has repeatedly come up with excuses. He swore he would pay her back next month or claimed to be hitting a rough patch again.
She tried to be understanding, too, but after nothing changed and her cousin got engaged, she hit her breaking point.
Mike is set to tie the knot next month, and his nuptials will not be a small, family affair. Rather, he is dropping a ton of cash on a massive wedding.
“Like, we’re talking luxury everything – fancy venue, over-the-top decor, expensive clothes, and apparently, they’re even flying somewhere exotic for the honeymoon,” she revealed.
“It’s insane how much they’re spending, and all I can think is, ‘How can you afford all this but not pay me back what you owe?'”
She tried confiding in her parents about the situation as well, but they’ve both taken Mike’s side. She actually got accused of being selfish and urged to “let it go” so she wouldn’t ruin her cousin’s special day.

“And they’re really pressuring me to go, even though I feel like I’m being completely disrespected here,” she said.
She just can’t imagine attending her cousin’s wedding and watching him blow a ridiculous amount of money while knowing she’s still out $5,000.
That’s why she decided to confront Mike directly, yet again, he just kept brushing her off and acting like it wasn’t a big deal. He also gave her the same old tired line of “I’ll pay you back soon.”
Everyone’s cavalier reactions have made her feel torn, as, on the one hand, she truly doesn’t want to cause any drama.
“But I also don’t think it’s fair that I’m supposed to just smile and pretend everything’s fine,” she vented.
“I feel like if I go, I’m basically saying it’s okay for him to treat me like this, and it’s not.”
Now, she’s not sure if she has a right to be angry and skip her cousin’s wedding or if she really is being too petty.
Does it make sense why she’s so ticked off with her cousin? Should she boycott the wedding or not? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
