I give this 8 on the awesome scale.

Quite.


It transpires that what he meant was that he'd not fully penetrated his new girlfriend until after the split.

How would you even find that out?

Mrs X was introduced long after 3F and X were close mates so at no point during the period that 3F new MrsX did she ever exist as a sexual entity.

She doesn't have boobs other than for feeding X's child. You don't flirt with your best mate's wife. You don't even think of her 'like that'. At any point you do you are being disloyal to your mate.

IMHO it's OK to have relationship with the ex of your ex friend in this case 3F to start a relationship with mrs X after the split, when they were both single, as long as he doesn't expect to remain friends with X.

The sad part is that 3F and mrs X most likely had an affair long before the split and it played a role in the decision to split. Stories like that are all too common.

Interested in others opinion on this one. When I say a mate I mean just that. It's not me so .

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.

If X is worth 3 and F is twice X, how many is Boyo worth?.

There is no doubt in my mind they were doing the dirty way before she split up with her man.

Even if they weren't it's still massively tulipty.

[FatLazyContractor]

So who is banging who?

[xoggoth]

I'm was totally confused by all that. Don't understand relationships. You coukd have made it much easier with an equation:

(X + Xm) + 3F = X + (3F +Xm)

(X + Xm) + 3F = (3F +Xm) - X
