    Right, down to business.

    I was enjoying a post xmas beverage with a good friend (boyo) and he told me about another mutual friend's latest situation and I reacted exactly the same way he did, appalled. His wife however doesn't think any rules have been broken.

    This 3rd friend (3F) is someone we both went to school with all those years ago but he's not someone I am really in regular contact with. When he (3F) got married many moons ago his fiance at the time didn't approve of his mates (Boyo and myself) and so we weren't invited to the wedding, no stag do etc. In fact only one of his university friends was in attendance. A chap we'll call X. So 3F and X were clearly close and were best man at each other's respective weddings X's wife was a good 10 years younger and so not a great deal of history with 3F. 3F's marriage didn't last (shocker) and he hadn't really had anyone serious since. It turns out that X and Mrs X have spilt up citing X's personality as the reason and within 6 weeks of this 3F and ex-mrs X are in a serious relationship. They live about 1.5 hours away from each other.

    I call foul. Boyo calls foul. Mrs Boyo (who was intoduced to Boyo via 3F) says fair play.

    What say the congregation? It has been stated that nothing had happened before the split.
    Dont see a problem. Neither are in relationships, they didnt break existing relationships to start this one.

    You're a long time dead. What's the beef!? Really?
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

        They were having an affair long before the X/Mrs X split. You don't get into a serious relationship after 6 weeks.

          Course you can zippy. Lots of couples **** on their first date. 6 weeks is plenty long enough.

            Quite.

            [thanks for the pics Pondy, I get it now]

            My good friend split from her husband of 10 years, last year.

            He'd moved in with someone new, two months after they split - he maintained 'nothing' had happened when they were together.

            It transpires that what he meant was that he'd not fully penetrated his new girlfriend until after the split.
            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              int(Mrs X/3F or 3F/MrsX) =(X - MrsX)

              X=0

              X + MrsX = 10

              (MrsX+3F) =0

              Mrs X=10

              3F=-10


              so on Barney's rules game on.

                    Call me old-fashioned but when I were a lass a **** didn't qualify as a serious relationship.
