Truly! Actually, I had two,...I had a friend once. Truly! Actually, I had two, believe it or not.<BR/><BR/>I waited too long to tell them they were seeing the same guy. One of them knew he was cheating (with her), and was mad at me for telling. The other one was mad because I had waited so long to tell her. So I lost them both.<BR/><BR/>I think Clew's husband has the best advice!<BR/><BR/>Or, invite the three of them to meet you and Tirithien for lunch or something (if they live close enough), then you two don't show up and let them deal with it themselves. Kinda mean, but...it would work. At least this guy would be caught between a rock and a hard place and have to fess-up. I guess maybe you should show up, so it would look like an innocent mistake; otherwise they'll know they had been set up.<BR/><BR/>Or, go with a portable laugh track. I'm sure you can make one yourself with one of those little recorders. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14626816.post-1137946527276887532006-01-22T11:15:00.000-05:002006-01-22T11:15:00.000-05:00Eee. I don't envy you your position. I once had...Eee. I don't envy you your position. I once had a friend and her husband calling me for advice without the other one knowing. I tried putting the kabash on it more than once, but both kept it up.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I arranged for each one to come over to talk and when they both showed up at the same time, I slipped out and let them talk. They never called again.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474426124497486683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14626816.post-1137729346603512472006-01-19T22:55:00.000-05:002006-01-19T22:55:00.000-05:00My Hub would say that if you know all 3 of them, t...My Hub would say that if you know all 3 of them, tell the guy to straighten it out. If he didn't, tell the girls. <BR/><BR/>I dont know if you really would, but you could possibly say, I really don't want to be responsible for that, or oh I don't know. Is it really my business?<BR/><BR/>To which he'd say, wouldn't YOU want a friend to tell you if they knew this about the guy you were falling in love with?<BR/><BR/>Just a thought ;)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with this. :/clewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160166319971765227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14626816.post-1137713370960398862006-01-19T18:29:00.000-05:002006-01-19T18:29:00.000-05:00Sounds like a really tough spot to be in!

I know both the girls involved- a friend of yours is a friend of mine, though you know them better- and there's no easy way to do this.<BR/><BR/>What if the guy's sincere, but one girl misinterprets? What if he's just a dillweed and stringing them both along?<BR/><BR/>I wish I knew an answer.Tirithienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095337144144658703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14626816.post-1137684705590004452006-01-19T10:31:00.000-05:002006-01-19T10:31:00.000-05:00I think it sounds less Shakespearean and more Thre...I think it sounds less Shakespearean and more Three's Companyean.Smerdyakovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072423297015047346noreply@blogger.com
