my friend Nick
My friend Nick broke a vase at my house party, that I held very dear, and he absolutely refuses to pay for it. Should I continue to be his friend, or should I stop?

Think of a reasonable value of the vase. If the vase costed you 1000$, maybe make him pay for half of it. you shouldnt expect him to pay full value, unless he insisted. If it was sentimental value, he should pay a reasonable offer that you say, and yes, explain why it was important so he feels the worth of it also.

All right. Have you tried to tell him how much thr vase meant to you? If not, you should. If you already told him this, than I would assume he would pay for the vase. But since he doesn't want to, I'd talk to him once more explaining that if you had done something like that to him, you'd pay for it because it was your fault. Maybe the vase isn't more than your friendship with him. But it was important to you and he needs to recognize that, a friend SHOULD recognize that. I'm not going to tell you that you can't be his friend anymore but I suggest becominga bit distant and maybe he'll have a better realization of what he needs to do.

stop ! that's so mean ! if he was really your friend .. he would pay for it

Hm, that's really up to you. If you really loved the vase and he won't pay for it, then he's not taking responsibility for his actions, which means he isn't being a very good friend.

You should tell him how you feel about him breaking your vase. If he acts like a jerk, he shouldn't be one of your friends anymore.
Hope I helped!
