good friends don’t force their pals into a difficult
position.
right now your buddy’s hands are tied because indirectly, you’re
asking him to choose between his girl and you.
we're all human beings, 重色轻友 is our nature.
if you’re a real pal, then don’t make it worse.
unless it’s a life/death situation, please don’t expect him to
drop her at your whim.
my buddy and I abide by these rules, maybe you guys can
try:
- for serious r/s we will set up a meeting and introduce the new
man or woman in our lives out of respect. only once. no point for
everyone to hang out regularly, because based on experience, gfs
and bfs will definitely feel threatened for some stupid
reasons.
- priority always given to family and partners 24/7. only
Sundays are ‘all pals no partners’ allowed coffee sessions.
btw have you tried to befriend his girl? if you can convince her
you pose no threat to her relationship, then life will be
easier.
imho, it’s very natural for his gf to behave this way. it’s her
territorial instinct though I think you know already.
on the other hand if you’re interested in your friend, want him
for yourself and this is your way of competing for his attention,
then I think the verdict is out.
for him it's better her than you.
