One of my best friends is from that kind of relationship. Then my wife and his wife grew apart and then he divorced her so she's completely out of all our lives but he's still our friend. It's funny though because one of the reasons my wife and her fell out of friendship was because she accused him of stealing her friends. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hah I'm in the same boat.

So I got my foot in the door with my career because I met my then-girlfriends then-best friend's then-husband.

I met a lot of friends through that group. The husband and wife were both in our wedding party.

When we came back from our honeymoon, there was news ..

There was another couple in the group and the two pairs were swingers...they partner swapped one day and never went back. They stuck with each other's partner. The married couple get divorced, the wife married another friend from the group. The husband and that friends gf ran off to another state. Who knows what happened to them.

Couple years go by and the wife's therapist essentially tells her to cheat on her husband with an old highschool fling. Meanwhile she was also perpetually unemployed because she has chronic pain, so he's a full-time caregiver and sole breadwinner.

So...she's a bitch. But he's cool. He crashed with us for a couple months while they sold the house and went through the divorce. We took in his dog. He's cool as shit, like a dachshund/pitbull mix. Weird as hell. But cool.

The adult version of "You'll have fun, they have a son your age!"

Me too. You gotta get a free VPN - windscribe and proton are candidates, no card details required.

I thought about this for a good 30 seconds to see if I had any homie in laws before realizing that I've been single for like 5 years lol.

TBF, all y'all in this sort of situation need to start hanging with said homies-in-law on your own time, if only for the connect when the GFs are no longer around. Build community, not complacency, friends. โœŠ๐Ÿผ

At first I misread that as "two dudes who bang occasionally".

I have like 10 homies in law.
