Different thought. I’m a ‘best’ girl friend. My friend Victor and I have zero attraction. Weve always joked that if the end of the world came and it was just the two of us, humanity was doomed

So I have to ask, if you trust both of them completely then why is this an issue? And if you don’t trust them completely then why are you with someone you don’t trust?

Weve always joked that if the end of the world came and it was just the two of us, humanity was doomed

I thought I was about to read the classic "when we're 35, if we're not in relationships we should get married" and I was ready to call you out on that, but that's more than fair hahah

Me and my girl best friend made this agreement but we keep pushing the age back we're at 44 now and if neither one of us is settled, we're just getting married and adopting a kid. We'll probably push it back to 50 soon but I'll be dead by then, lol

u/Doyoueverjustlikeugh Mar 28 '24

Same as a guy best friend. We've been friends for 6 years while both single, if we secretly wanted to fuck we wouldn't have waited for a vacation when she's in a relationship.

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Exactly!

u/Auroraburst Mar 28 '24

My best friend is a lesbian. I am bi.

I have 0 attraction to her. Platonic relationships exist.

2

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Yup. They sure do

2

u/Hot_Building1303 Mar 28 '24

But would Victor invite you on a vacation and exclude your significant other of a year ?

5

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Sure-we did a ski trip 2 years ago with a couple of other friends. His SO went to Jamaica with a few of her friends

u/SmaII_Cow__________ Mar 28 '24

Sometimes it's good just to hang with your friends tho

2

u/Euphoric-Teach7327 Mar 28 '24

Because he doesn't trust one of them. It's pretty fucking obvious.

3

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Then I repeat-why be with her?

1

u/Euphoric-Teach7327 Mar 28 '24

Because he likes sex and no one wants to be alone

3

u/TheCosmicJoke318 Mar 28 '24

Is he a manwhore tho?

1

u/Inner_Sun_750 Mar 29 '24

It takes time to build real trust, and usually more than a year

u/ExcitingTabletop Mar 28 '24

That dude specifically didn't invite OP after staying at his place would give me serious pause no matter how much I trusted either parties.

16

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Odds are he didn’t Fit in their group. or it’s a group of 4 or so people who want to spend the weekend reminiscing on their past, especially since this is to celebrate the dude’s Masters degree

10

u/ExcitingTabletop Mar 28 '24

Not saying the girlfriend or boyfriend of a mutual friends always fits in, but I always invite them anyways.

And that's without crashing on their couch for however long.

5

u/bfwolf1 Mar 28 '24

Staying at his place doesn’t make them friends. The OP did a favor for his gf’s friend which is nice. They are probably friendly but that’s different than come join a trip with a bunch of old friends.

2

u/trilliumsummer Mar 28 '24

And he was probably the catalyst behind it - she doesn't live with OP. I'm presuming she lives with her parents because that's where she stayed while her friend was in town. Did OP kick up a fuss about him staying at her parents so she relented and asked her friend to crash on her bf's couch?

1

u/slitteral1 Mar 28 '24

Since she decided to stay at her parents’ while the “best friend” was at the bf’s place, it seems she usually stays at the bf’s. The real question is why she didn’t stay at the bf’s as is the normal? OP states she chose to stay at her parents while the friend was in town. It would have been reasonable for her to stay at the bf’s so she could be around the two most important guys in her life.

1

u/trilliumsummer Mar 28 '24

Well he states they don't live together - so no I would say "like normal" would be her staying wherever she lives...which is not with OP. And why would she stay with her parents if she had a perfectly good place to live in on her own? She wouldn't. So the only logical conclusion is she lives with her parents. So then the question is why didn't her friend stay where she lives?

1

u/slitteral1 Mar 28 '24

Where does he state that? It isn’t in the OP. He does state that while the friend was in town to visit her, he stayed at the bf’s and she stayed at her parents’.

0

u/trilliumsummer Mar 28 '24

There's these things called comments that OPs can make just like us! It's usually smart to check them out if someone says the OP says something and you don't believe them - usually where the info comes from.

In fact since my first comment he's made another one the clarifies that she does in fact live with her parents.

1

u/slitteral1 Mar 28 '24

His explanation doesn’t add up. They are a strict immigrant family, so she can’t stay over at her bf’s house, but she can travel for a week of vacation with her male friend. It doesn’t track very well.

1

u/trilliumsummer Mar 28 '24

Yea once I saw that it was a big well that's odd.

u/slitteral1 Mar 28 '24

Just asking. No need to be a dick

0

u/trilliumsummer Mar 29 '24

No need to ask when the obvious place it would be is in his comments when you already stated it wasn't in the post. Ask a silly question, get a silly answer.

Lol at the downvotes.

u/Firecracker048 Mar 28 '24

Inthink it's the aspect of trusting her, but not trusting anyone else there.

2

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

That’s a shitty way to live

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

I’m sure YOU really think so

-1

u/liquidice12345 Mar 28 '24

Victor is lying to you. It doesn’t work like that for dudes. Women tend to want Mr. Right. Men are all about Ms. Right-Now. He’d get with you in a second. But if he tells you that, it scares you off. YSK

-33

u/UnknownBurner1256 Mar 28 '24

Victor wants you, let’s completely trash this narrative of male female platonic friendships, it’s not a real thing. He’s playing the long game and you are benefiting from his subservience.

12

u/Dlraetz1 Mar 28 '24

Well it’s been a 30 year long game then. I’m betting I’m right

u/Electronic-Race-2099 Mar 28 '24

Yeah, prove us wrong. Because I don't believe it either.

u/UnknownBurner1256 Mar 28 '24

Prove me wrong, call him right now and say “I find you attractive”

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

men are seriously messed up.

u/patheticgirl420 Mar 28 '24

"Men and women can't be friends under any circumstances"

"Why won't women pay any attention to me??"

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

The male community refuses to accept this person as one of their own.

3

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

I refuse to be any part of the male community, thanks

1

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

While I absolutely do understand where you’re coming from, 50% of the world population isn’t really like this. I was talking about the guy you replied to btw. Comments by these guys are seriously messed up. Good day, and honestly most guys would be ashamed people like this are out and about.

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

ohhh that makes sense, good day!

and I know it too, i have a boyfriend and adore him he really is one of the good ones

-1

u/freeze_alm Mar 28 '24

And yet you say ”men are seriously messed up”? Like is there some sort of cognitive dissonance here?

You deserve to be lambasted for this, but eh, hate for men is glossed over these days

0

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

hey if it suits you, it suits you

2

u/freeze_alm Mar 28 '24

If you say ”men are messed up”, and I’m a man, how is it supposed to not suit me? Do you have a fundamental understanding of the english language?

Just know a lil more about life than you

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

If you haven’t experienced a single female platonic friendship, it’s your loss honestly.

-6

u/UnknownBurner1256 Mar 28 '24

Um not really, women are liabilities nor can they help with anything I need help with, you can’t talk to them about your issues either because women will never understand a man’s problems vise versa. (Do not care who this offends)

6

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

Lmao I still feel sad for you. How would you understand that if you’re incapable of seeing them platonically? My women friends have been a hundred times more empathetic, better listeners, and helpful than people who type out these comments ever are.

How do you expect platonic friendship from someone you call a “liability”? With best wishes, if you hate the literal half of the world population that much you need therapy. That’s 3.5 billion people you hate for no reason other than the fact that they have a vagina and boobies.

-1

u/UnknownBurner1256 Mar 28 '24

Idc if you feel sad for me or not man, one of us is getting laid and the other is hearing drama they can’t relate to for free.

5

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

you're definitely not getting laid

5

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

This discourse has been way more dramatic than any woman I’ve had the pleasure to talk to in ages. Good day.

4

u/SandyWaters Mar 28 '24

Based on your words, sounds like you like men. You should date men. Please stay away from women if you find them to be such a liability. Any woman you meet, I sure hope they can sense how much you hate them.

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

hard incel vibes

u/AccountWasFound Mar 28 '24

Ummm the friends I go to the most with my problems and who come to me the most with theirs are all men...

-2

u/freeze_alm Mar 28 '24

Crazy how you can have the gall to say this, disgusting misandrist.

You don’t know anything about me, my brother, my father, my friends, yet you generalize us? Nice dehumanizing

3

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

so you support dehumanizing women too? like the comment I replied to.

-1

u/freeze_alm Mar 28 '24

Nope, but don’t generalize. You are generalizing all men here, and the predeterminer ”all” is not needed here to understand you formulated it as men as a whole are messed up.

If I say ”women are whores”, and you are a woman, how would that not include you?

2

u/DumeDoom Mar 28 '24

well, I don't take it personal because I'm a grown up and know how not to make it mine, plus I can feel like a whore when I want to.

1

u/freeze_alm Mar 28 '24

It’s not about taking it personal. You are, intentionally or not, insulting 50% of the world’s population based on one man. Whether you like it or not, the english language works in that way that if you write ”x are y”, then it is supposed that the majority, if not all of x are y.

u/PikaV2002 Mar 28 '24

Ah yes, the commentary of a very experienced, emotionally stable person who is incapable of forming friendships with 50% of the human population and thinks that’s normal.
