A close friend made me a business proposition and is now mad at me because I wouldn't do it. I would have had to take out a loan which I do not want to do. They want me to take out a loan to start a business i know nothing about (but they do) and they offered to run the business for me and help me with learning it. They said the business will provide a nice supplemental income for me. This person in the past has made empty promises to me, ignores my calls when they feel like. So this isn't an ideal situation to go in and i just didn't feel comfortable but i feel bad because they are mad at me. He's making me feel stupid for passing up this opportunity. He also has a criminal background ( few years old but its still a background to me) but i truly thinks he forgets i know this. He claims this business money would be all for me. But the fact that he offered to give up what he does to run it for me doesn't sit well and i wonder why he's so mad that I don't want to do it if it truly was to help me. I feel he may try to do something criminal or take some of the money from me especially since I don't know the business. I did the right thing right? Why is he so mad that i'm now being ignored?
