Hello friends and welcome to my posts in this week's edition of the SLC: S24/W5 and I would be sharing my thoughts immediately
I would love to share my experience as regarding this topic. I have duly experienced something of this nature. I had a friend about 2 years ago. He was a college friend and we all had good times together. He was so lost at the time being and I was there for him. He told me how life had been treating him and I stood to the occasion for old times sake.
Moreso, I would give him food and clothing in most occasion. I would also try hard to see to it that he was not lacking so much even to the extent of me lending him most of my clothes. One day he decided to come visit me and that day my girlfriend was home. He told me how much pretty she looked and I thanked him too. I didn't know he took her number from my phone and went to start toasting her...
She came reporting on one of the occasions that she wanted to show me what he was texting. It dawned on me that he never wanted my progress and said alot of bad things about me to her of how much I don't love her and alot. I felt bad but had to end the friendship that day. He sold our friendship for a property he thought he would win because of his greed. A lesson well schooled by express experience.

Daniel from my experience shared, betrayed the trust I had in him. He was so malicious and audacious, knew about my relationship with the girl at the time and I thought him as a brother rather he wanted to play smart. He kept pressuring her badly abd it ended up being that she told me the whole scenario.
I fed him when he had nothing and he wanted to pay me back with evil by snatching the girl I treasured most at the time. He was selfish and wanted to pay evil for the good I did. Taking advantage of my kindness to exploit me at the least guided moment. He wanted to snatch my girlfriend and I felt so bad for someone I took care for during the time being. Not all that glitters is gold so beware of wolves in sheep clothing that come to you for help.
I would advice someone experiencing this to check your relationship status with such person thoroughly to know if there are mutual benefits from the friendship. Test your friendship to know if it remains genuine, you can plan a prank to know how much the other person values the friendship. At least these activities can be a yardstick to measure the friendship.
Finally, check the value the other person adds to you, take your time to go down memory lane to see your progress and wins over the time of friendship with the person. If there are successful wins you guys have recorded they could be valued as benefit of the friendship. The progress in your life would definitely determine whether you would move on with the friendship or back down once again from the relationship.
