[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it's not entirely fine, even if your friend really is 100% OK with it (and you'll never know if she is or not). But it's useless trying to reason with your mother, because there are people in this world who do not understand the subtleties of who gets to ask what in a unbalanced relationship. My husband is one of these people (he has high-functioning autism), and he believes he can ask for anything, because people can always say no. He doesn't understand that others might feel awkward at having to tell him no, and that they might prefer not to be asked in the first place. It's a grey area, and hard to explain, because each situation is different and I can't point to a straightforward rule he can memorize. So you have my sympathies, OP. All you can do is trust that your friend speaks up for herself and doesn't resent you just because you are the link between you three. [/quote] Thank you. [/quote]
