OK, somebody speak right up if I'm being an idiot here...and I know y'all aint shy...

So there's this young lady that I've been "seeing" on and off for the last year or so. Never any commitment/rules involved...just friends that get a little close sometimes.

She and I had a bit of a disagreement over the last few months. I essentially showed her the door a few weeks ago. Two weeks ago yesterday.

One of my Monday Night Football buddies comes over last night and is hiding in the corner...won't say two words to me. Turns out that the rumors flying about he and she were not so much rumors...they have recently gotten closer to eachother.

I say foul! (can't find Brad's bs flag...) No fair recycling women among close friends.

What says the peanut gallery?

 

I would say you're right. He must not have as much respect for your friendship as you do.

 

Is there some kind of statute of limitations on that? I just married a nice girl, and about six (or seven) years ago, she was dating one of my good friends.

I do think a few weeks isn't enough time, but does it have to be "forever"?

 

Did you get your friends permission? blessing? whatever? Was HE cool with it?

 

I think it would be ok only AFTER asking if you were ok with it. Foul because he didnt.

 

I don't visit here often, but I was on the mid-west area deal and saw "Man Law" as the thread. This is a topic that I have experience with.

You're right. Never can the guy's good friend ask the gal out. After at least a year only if the guy says it's OK. (And that does not mean the guy starts dating someone else. He must be consulted BEFORE freind asks her out.)

He obviously feels guilty over it, so it isn't right in his mind... Had you broke it off, and he had no influence over it, I would say it is ok, but if she broke it off, and all of a sudden they are an item, it smells of underground action against you... that was always one of my rules, don't mess with friend's girlfriends/wives, just isn't worth the trouble it causes.

 

Hey man your single who cares what he did! Don't let some girl get in your friendships way. Big deal, he'll find out sooner or later why you kicked her to the curb! Trust me had that happen to me and my best friend in school! Then we both kicked her butt to the curb!

 

Thanks all for your input. A few close friends have been rather helpful today as well...I'm still a little peeved. Thank you, Brad...I still say its...

 

I have to go with seventyseven250 here o a point. I ended up marrying my wife after my best friend let her go. At the time he wasn't ready for as serious a relationship as she was and he let her go.
However, I DID talk to him about it one night when we we're hanging out together. I told him that I really liked her and that I really didn't want to lose her friendship and was hoping for more and how would he feel about that. He was very cool with it and thought that we would be really good together. He and I are still best buds, but mostly because I had the goo manners of asking him before ever proceeding with a former lady.

 

and doesn't everyone hate it when someone displays less than goo manners... lol!

 

HEY!! This isn't the "For stirrin' Only" thread!! <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253F partner%253DZSzeb008%255FZSYYYYYYYYUS%2526i%253D4% 252F4%255F2%255F211%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_211.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"></a>

 

id say if he asked first.. it would be ok... but if he just up and did it.... bad kitty

 

He's claiming drunken retardation was a factor...could be. All I know is that I never got drunk and woke up with his ex...or his current...or his next one...

 

yess drunkeness is not and acceptable foul...
