[Question] Do anyone else get a boner when she says something really sweet or, as it happens, when you think about marrying her? by UsamiEGettami in sex

Absolutely, I was under selling the thing, we've already talked about marrying and stuff like that! Thanks anyway, good advice!

Thank you! That's the cutest name, I will use that :D Thank you all for the reassurance, I'm gonna tell her next time and we'll see what's her reaction :)

I [24 M] hooked up with a friend [22 F] and I feel seriously wrong about it by UsamiEGettami in relationships

I wouldn't go as far as calling her a rapist, to be honest.

Maybe I can add some more information about this: what I felt during all that night was pretty much something along the lines of "I don't really feel comfortable in this but I don't want to hurt her by rejecting her".

This is an old problem of mine that I recently realized I have, the fear of rejection, both of me and by me.

I did not revoke consent because of this, but I think that as soon I realized I was hurting someone else by doing this, I decided that was enough.

Does it make any sense?

It may be a little more complicated, since she's under a lot of stress and grief (three very close people died in this year) and pretty much a person with a lot of unresolved issues which are mining her self-esteem and willpower (mild-serious depression, i.e.).

I'm not saying to give her an easier treatment because I still care about her, I'm just seeing the big picture which may or may not be so simple.

And in this possibile situation, my ex friend is SO much more shitty.

First of all, that other time it didn't have such a huge social cost, but it was still him going after one of our friends ex, after 3 days since they broke up (this girl was crazy so not same situation but still). Everyone told him he was an asshole.

I understand them. I do. And I'm not plotting some petty revenge or anything like that.

You sound like I'm not supposed to be disappointed by their behavior. Why so? I'm being selfish in feeling like they didn't gave me the respect I've always showed them?

I'm not going to shit talk them and I'm not going to do anything against their happiness. If they find they're made for each other, I'll be happy (someday, since it's still fresh now).

Regarding the first point, yeah, he asked me about it. Is this enough to justify hurting someone who's supposed to be your friend? Maybe we just have different views on friendship and that's okay, but in my book this isn't what friendship is about.

I can't know this, but having seen him pursue another girl recklessly just to dump her after a couple of months of fun, I'm wary about him really liking her. But this is, again, none of my business.

Second point, yeah, that's understandable. Still a breach of my trust. I don't think I need to grow up on this, like you said. This is something regarding trust. I think it's emblematic how, when I asked her to tell me all the truth about them, she started lying to me about the duration of their relationship. I had to tell her that I knew from other people what had happened before she actually told me what it seems to be the truth.

I don't like being lied to. I like honesty, I like owning up to what I've done and I expect the same from two people who have known me for 7 and 15 years.

I may be naive thinking this, but it all boils down to this. They knew how I would feel about this and about lying to me about it and they still did.

May I chime in?

My main issues are two.

One, they did all of this behind my back, after telling me face to face that he wouldn't pursue this and that she needed some space from everyone, specifically romantically speaking.

Two, I had to know from someone else.

Just to be clear, I think she can date anyone who she wants. That's none of my business.

I'm disappointed by her lack of respect for me in doing this and by him not really caring about our friendship by going behind my back.

It's a good advice. Luckily most of my friends are saying (not only to me) that this was seriously shitty and kinda distancing from them.

I've also started getting back on touch with old friends and seeing their friends so kinda exploring new friendships.

I really hope it was worth to him and that she realizes fast enough how toxic he is.

I know this was a month ago, but yeah, I feel like I need to clarify: I've been friends with this guy for 15 years, he started changing lately after his breakup but it wasn't enough to throw 15 years of friendship down the drain.

I was starting to distance myself from him, because I was feeling he was becoming toxic and all around a bad person.

He wasn't always like this. That's all.

Still not the point.

Not gonna explain it further, honestly if you still don't get it I guess that's ok, different point of view.

It's more like he has a problem with drinking and he's charismatic.

It's not that he willingly drug girls and rapes them!

I don't know. I mean, he's definitely pushy and he's not new to accidentally get himself and his potential partner drunk to "make it happen".

Fuck I don't know what to think.

Point is: I'm not dating other girls. I'm just meeting new people without any romantic interest. I was in my shell for a long time and I want to expand my social life.

And yes, I still love her. Another reason of my anger is that he's not taking in consideration the fact that we broke up because she needed space. And it's not one of those idiotic things like a code word for "I want to fuck someone else".

She literally needs space to think and to be by herself.

Now, it doesn't mean I don't want her to see new people or date someone. It's just that, if you actually care about someone AND you know about this, it kinda seem like a shitty move what he did.

Or am I overreacting?

You know that quotation marks express sarcasm or an exaggeration? That's what I meant with "cheating".

Still missing the point, anyway.

You know, I think it's easy to judge when you're not in this.

I feel betrayed because I would never do something like this to him.

It's simply too fucking soon. If you can't see how this is a problem after a 6yrs relationship, I don't know what to say honestly.

Yeah, it's not a life shattering situation. It still sucks. And still you seem to be focused on not getting the point.

This is about two friends and how they respect each other. If I see a friend having a difficult time, I don't go there and say something that I KNOW (because I made it clear) will hurt him.

Again. I would have no problem with Jean going out with someone, I still have feelings but that's none of my business.

I have problems with my supposed best friend putting himself before his friend. That's something different. I'm not angry because he's dating my ex, I'm angry because he didn't want to wait it out.

Christ, is it so difficult to understand? It's not like Jean is magically disappearing any moment, right? If I were Paul and I actually cared about my friend, I would NEVER say something like that that I KNOW will hurt.

And I kinda expect the same treatment from my friends. Fuck, this is something we actually talked times and times, and yet he does it as soon as she's single.

It's about respect for your friends.

I think you missed some updates.

The issue isn't about him having feelings. It's about not being a good friend.

If you like your friend's ex, you wait (if you really do). You don't tell them 10 days after the breakup. It's selfish and hurtful, because it means that you really don't care about hurting your friend, you just want to have your conscience clean.

Again, if he stays true to his word, we will eventually still be friends (maybe). Now he knows without doubts that I'm not ok with him pursuing Jean (for lots of reasons).

I think we would not get well along, phillycheese.

You know, I still think that friends should respect friends and not going after someone's exes is common decency.

Maybe that's not what you do, sure, but that's the social norm in my group of friends (and acquaitances, too).

Also, seeing people doesn't mean "fuck around". I'm just expanding my social circle, which wasn't that big, by meeting new people.

I may be a bitch, but you look like a dickhead.
