    I expect the “close friend” is no longer close, but the person who broke the promise, to whatever degree the promise was there, is the one who should get the most shit.

    I say this as someone whose wife cheated on me. She broke her vows, she chose to cheat instead of just leaving me, he was incidental and could have been anyone. I can hardly blame him, my wife was hot af, and she lied to him, of course.

      I have two friends who first met because one was this girl’s “platonic cuddle buddy” and the other was her fuckbuddy. Neither knew she was effectively getting half the relationship from the other and they both wanted a “full” relationship with her until they both showed up at an event she was at and it came out. When they found out they both “dumped” her and became friends.

    Hi, dog speaker here, that dog is actually pretty upset. Dogs won’t show their teeth or really the whites of their eyes like this unless they’re uncomfortable.

      Hi, dog speaker here

      What’s up dog?

      No, but seriously - this pic is very strange. Why does the dog look like it just escaped a zombi apocalypse?

    This reads to me as shitting equally on both of them.

    For what’s it’s worth, the close friend would be dead to me whereas the ex is just an ex?

    That close friend did him a favor exposing she was going to cheat anyway. Close friend should be there grinning with the dog

    What do you mean, never? This is like the most common thing ever, both as a movie trope and in real life. Guy A sleeps with girlfriend of Guy B, and instead of getting mad at his girlfriend who broke her agreement with him, Guy B goes and beats up Guy A. Now I understand also being angry at the friend, but it should be secondary to being angry at the girlfriend. Anything else is sexist and views the woman as an object IMO

      I suppose that makes sense if your interpretation of “bros before hoes” is simply “men are to be preferred above women in any circumstance.” but if you consider that “bros before hoes” is actually supposed to mean “loyalty to your friends is more important than the arbitrary pursuit of fleeting sexual pleasure,” that’s actually a condemnation of the friend for doing the exact opposite as efficiently as possible
