I'm 25, he's 28. My EX broke up with me 3 months ago after being boyfriend+boyfriend for 2 years.
I told him he had good timing because I was so busy starting up my business, I had too many things on my head to think about it that much.
We broke up, but we still see each everyday. He's been dating someone, I've been dating someone, we have friendly-sex from time to time. But I have too many things on my mind to worry what's the deal between us.
My business is going well, but I'm still 3 months away from recovering from my investment.
My EX makes good money, and he offered to loan me money last week, so I took it.
I will be able to pay him back in 1 month, but I'm going through a hard time.
My birthday is next week, my EX told me to take the loan as gift for my birthday.
I told him NO, because it's too much money to be a birthday gift.
He told me to think about it, I know that's not too much money for him, but still:
Should I take the loan as a gift?

If you feel like you have to ask for advice on this maybe that is a sign that you shouldn't take the money. You must feel uncomfortable about it and even though you might not know why at the moment I am sure there must be a reason. This is a question that no one can answer for you as nobody will know the later outcome of what could possibly happen after you accept the money. Think it through and be sure to make the decision based solely on what you feel is the right thing to do. If all else fails just give the money to me as a early birthday gift :-) Just kidding.

A loan isn't a gift. A gift isn't a loan.
Your ex is your ex. Thankfully you are friends.
Tell him you value his friendship more than his money and don't want to jeopardize losing his friendship over money.

After thinking on this one I would take it as a gift. But this is a tough one!
