rollick has let fall...
Recently, a buddy of mine and I were discussing (or perhaps just dissing) the immature boyfriend of a mutual friend. He said he's "trying not to get too sour on him" because "I don't need more lop-sided couples for friends".
I knew just what he meant. I was in one of those relationships once. I once askedprinceofcairo how he managed to still his lashlike tongue and put up with an s.o. of mine who conflicted with him in every way imaginable. He said, "I always learned that you don't mess up your friends' relationships."
So when there's this kind and funny friend of yours whose girlfriend is loud, overbearing, and kvetchy or this cute and fascinating guy you know married this moody little creep who can suck the life out of any gathering--what do you do? You can hardly say, "Oh, when you come over tomorrow, do everyone a favour and leave your other half at home, okay?" Do you grit your teeth and keep inviting them both? Do you let them slowly drift out of touch (perhaps in the unvoiced hope that he'll finally lose that dipshit bimbo of his)--and, if so, what do you say to that sweetheart friend of yours when she wants to know why "we never see each other anymore"?
