fuck 'em both, at the very least...
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.
Was her name Krista because I have lived a life

Yeah, if someone is willing to cheat, they will cheat with just anyone. And all the best to you!
Ive been on the wrong end of this a few times. A woman comes chatting to me in the pub, and then the boyfriend turns up and starts trying to fight me.
Mate, I dont even know her name let alone her relationship status. Your problem is not with me.
Ok humble brag
It really interrupted my aged single malt whiskey
Drowning in success
You guys ever get sick of having so much money? I know I sure do.
Don't you hate it when your dick is tired from all the sex you're having?
When the spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised?
This tattoo is not likely to impress any potential new romantic interests.
Right?
"Uh... What's up with that tattoo"
Oh that's when my ex cheated on me so I sent my dog to lacereate her achilies
Achtually, my dog bit her before she cheated.
(Or so I understood it)
I don't dress for other people why would I get tattoos for them?
If we're comparing this tattoo to wardrobe choices, imagine you're single and you show up to dates dressed in a t-shirt that says "I enjoyed it when my dog attacked my previous romantic partner" and the effect that might have on your whole vibe with the other person.
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?
Idk man, it's a dobie. They are strange creatures when they are happy and content. I love them but a mal mix is enough for me
Uh, this isn't true. My dog literally smiles when she's happiest (usually during belly rubs). Belly rub from yesterday. She rolls on her back, exposes her belly, and smiles bigger and bigger as I scratch:
That’s a cool story, and a well done tattoo, but… We all know that dog really has no clue what that lady did wrong. He’s just a bitey boy.
Yay for violent animals!
I don't condone, but I understand.
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?
They're a tattoo now.
Everything about this is trashier than your average junkyard.
Gross.
Well I wonder why he got cheated on lmfao
Ikr
It's like he's a store that exclusively sells red flags.
I mean. Why would you want to have people ask you about this and remember it for the rest of your life?
Why not just get a tattoo off the dog then?
Maybe he had his ex’s legs tattooed already?
This guy in 6 months boo hoo hooing he can't get laid because of his "I assault women" tattoo.
The person in the relationship is the one with the responsibility not to cheat, they are objectively the worse person. If my partner is willing to cheat on me my friends might as well hit it because I'm not interested in continuing that relationship after that point anyway.
If that happened to me, I’d be dropping both those relationships - I also expect my platonic friends not to fuck me over
My friend group recently excised someone because he was hard core planning on cheating on his soon to be wife.. They weren't married yet, he wanted to end the relationship bud didn't wanna be single. So he was just planning on cheating and how exactly to do it.
We decided to cut him out of the group, because most of us have the opinion "if you're willing to fuck over your supposed partner, you're definitely willing to fuck over a friend". Add on top of that a ton of unremorseful misogyny.
Ugh we just got cut out of our friend group for very similar situation, except the asshole won. He almost cheated on his then fiance, he did screw over his "best friend" my husband, and when he learned my husband had told me about the emotional affair, he manipulated us and everyone, campaigned against us and eventually got us disliked and dropped by everyone. It really sucked, these were lifelong friends. My only hope is that they eventually all see who he is. I doubt it, as it's been a year and a half, and his now wife just had a baby. I feel the worst for her in the situation.
It’s so weird to me that people pre-plan cheating. You always hear the story that “it just happened”. However, now that I’m in my 40s, I’ve found that it is so often someone who spends lots of time considering it and shopping the idea around to their friends to see if they can find someone to tell them it’s ok.
Yeah, 100%. A few of us tried to talk him out of it. 3 of us had independent 1:1 conversations with him saying it wasn't cool. And if he's not happy in his relationship now, it won't magically get better (he knew that to be true) and he should break it off. However he refused, unless he had a sure thing for a relationship immediately after.
He wanted to use one of our (my SO and me) best friends as "option B" and also had graphic and very explicit fantasies about this individual. He told one of the others that was trying to have a "come to your senses" talk with him about these fantasies, unsolicited. To the point he was apparently graphically imagining fucking them after we had just hung out, while he was home laying in bed next to his Fiancee.
He also said that de wasn't worried about the wedding coming up. The quote "whether I break it off now or a day before the wedding, its the same emotional and financial toll, so I shouldn't rush it". And he wouldn't be willing to get a divorce once they had kids. He didn't want kids, but she did, and he caved.
Aren't your friends expected to avoid hurting you also?
If you want to see what happened to close friend, you'll have to check the tattoo on that guys balls.
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
My dad believes our old family dog hated my mom because she could smell other men on her.
