all sounds rather childish!

groundhogs · 24/11/2009 23:42

You know what comfort? Tell DP you are sorry, but you didn't do any of this on purpose, and that the friend shouldn't have done what he did, and tell him that his friends are a bunch of tossers idiots.

Make up with DP on the understanding he never ever stands against you again, and cut those idiot friends out of your lives. Up to you whether you do it now or wait till morning.

Tis the only way forward, if you value your family life...

If he wants to stick with them.. then that's another matter entirely.

NeedaNewName · 24/11/2009 23:52

Wouldn't you love tobe there when OP cals this bloke Paul by mistake.

Seriously sounds like they all need to grow up, especially if children are involved but then I may have just made that up and confused things even more - I don;t know!

lowrib · 24/11/2009 23:56

I think it's really unfair to goad a (possibly quite pissed) comfort to leave her DP and issue ultimatums. He's obviously being a prize twat, but IMO this incident alone it isn't enough to leave with the kids over! Jesus!

Incidentally I soooo wish I'd come to this earlier. I got it on the first page, there just had to be that kind of shenanigans involved!

VengefulKitty · 25/11/2009 00:05

Oh lowrib, you are far too articulate for this time at night in the morning!

Fruitysunshine · 25/11/2009 00:09

I got to the end of page 2 and practically fell off the sofa coughing, spluttering and laughing with tears running down my face!

Comfort- not meaning to laugh at your misfortune but there appears to be some gremlins in your keyboard tonight!

groundhogs · 25/11/2009 00:12

Fruity... diplomatically put..

Fruitysunshine · 25/11/2009 00:14

If it was it would be the first time every Groundhog! Diplomacy is never a word people have used to describe me, mores the pity! However if it is sarcasm, I welcome your compliment!

groundhogs · 25/11/2009 00:17

There you go then!

A First!

Ah no, sincere! sarcasm? lowest form of wit and all that...

VengefulKitty · 25/11/2009 00:17

Ahhhh, every time I come back to this thread I laugh some more...

I hope comfort comes to back to give us an update on Paul (or is that too schadenfreude?)

Tortington · 25/11/2009 00:21

so the best friend got caught with another friends wife is that right?

what i wonder is what the op said to the other friends wife on the phone that tipped her off to her husbands deeds

Monty100 · 25/11/2009 00:23

Who's Paul?

groundhogs · 25/11/2009 00:24

Thanks Custy! where the F were you an hour ago?

Comfort, as much as we are all on your side, the sheer idiocy of your friends is highly amusing, and in time, I'm sure you too will be laughing your socks off at them...

keep us posted with updates? please?

groundhogs · 25/11/2009 00:25

Tis true, this is the thread that just keeps on giving...

off to PMSL some more...

WildSheepChase · 25/11/2009 00:30

I have had such a shitty week and this thread has made me properly guffaw for the first time in ages.

Thankyou comfort.

Nicotinic · 25/11/2009 00:40

Echoing above, this is probably the funniest post I have read in a long time.

Thank you for late night giggles!

Tortington · 25/11/2009 01:17

an hour ago i was shagging paul

DidEinsteinsMum · 25/11/2009 02:31

hope you enjoyed yourself custardo
Just caught this one and it has made having to stay up this late a tad nicer. mn is either the black hole to stay away from late at night or the place to make you smile. I have a difference solution.

Get all the iodit friends together, and from the high moral ground lob water bombs at them til suitably drenched and cool of a few who need to keep it in their trousers. It'll either work or things might get more exciting. you never know.

But is Dave still speaking to Doris?
I think the solution is this:

Paul and Bob get together.

Dave and OP hook up.

Doris becomes a surrogate mother for Paul and Bob and moves in next door.

Sally runs away to work on a cruise ship and hits the big time, Jane Mcdonald stylee.

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 25/11/2009 05:24

30s??? 30s??? I can't believe it.

We have some 'friends' a little like this, always screwing each other over and falling out so we keep our distance.

Your DP should have taken your side. Has everyone forgotten than his best mate shouldn't have been out drinking with someone else's wife? You're just a scape goat in this. Why shouldn't you tell his wife? She deserves to know that her husbands frienship with that lady has gotten too close. What if you HAD all ended up going out together and she found out afterwards, she'd have felt humiliated.

Don't go to the works do, they're so childish they will make it uncomfortable for you. Tell DP to get a backbone and stand by you or HE can pissing well leave! Why have you got to go anywhere? Ask him why he's condoning the potential affair.

And for anyone who still hasn't got it.

Couple A- Dorothy and Paulo
Couple B- Mavis and Durk
Couple C- Comfort and Kenneth

Couple A's Dorothy has been getting too close to Couple B's Durk. Couple C's Kenneth has found out about this. They are all going out together but now there's tension and Couple A have fallen out with Durk as he can't keep it in his pants!! Couple C's Comfort has told Couple B's Mavis that her husband is trying to get it on with other women so now everyone hates Comfort rather than dealing with the real issue. AFFAIRS!!

mistletoekisses · 25/11/2009 07:57

Great thread! Do any of you mnetters ever sleep. I think I get it all....so to the OP, YANBU.

MmeLindt · 25/11/2009 08:23

Cracking thread, shame I missed it.

Comfort
Don't make any hasty decisions. Tell your DP that you are sorry that he and his friends have fallen out but that you are not responsible for the arguments.

Let him know that you feel hurt by his actions. And that his friends need to grow up and stop blaming others for their mistakes.

Jeez, I am teaching my 7yo that she is responsible for her own actions adn that she cannot put the blame on others, I do hope she has learned that before her 40th birthday.

VengefulKitty · 25/11/2009 11:12

LMAO @ VikMac!!!
