We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, of course, but vast differences can be disturbing to both sides. Erin, for example, is single, and earns a very good salary. Her friend, Pat, a divorced mother of three, is struggling to make ends meet. " We are both frequent theater-goers," Erin explains, " and I’d gladly pay for two tickets, just to have pat’s company at plays in concerts , but she won’t go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate to go alone, so we both stay home. It all seems so silly. " Pat sees the situation differently. After her unhappy marriage to a man who tried to control her without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, " It’s very important to me to carry my own weight. I’m not comfortable in any relationship where all I do is take.
The difficult situation finally changed when Erin moved recently. Pat’s children were with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friend’s new plays, then spent the day helping her unpack and get settled. "I was so grateful, " Erin says, " that I persuaded Pat to let me return the favor in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group. I think she’s beginning to recognize that she contributes as much to our friendship as I do"
