A local woman has this week been shocked to learn that apparently men’s relationships operate a little differently than women’s, after discovering that her boyfriend Tom is still mates with someone who severely screwed him over.
Lena Hartley, 28, tells The Advocate that she’d been complaining to Tom about her friend stiffing her $100, when he’d casually thrown out the one time his bestie, James, refused to pay him back $4000 – a bestie he is still very close with today.
“He was so nonchalant about it”, explains Lena, reminding Effie that she’d never actually heard the word ‘nonchalant’ out loud, “apparently he helped James out with some damage to his car, and just never got the money back?”
“Said James promised to pay him back, and ended up splashing a fuck ton of money on a gaming system a few weeks later.”
“Then they just never spoke about it again?”
Scratching her head, Lena muses if maybe this is why male friendships last so long, and why you often only hear about female friendships blowing up.
“Do they just not talk about things and sweep everything under the rug?”,asks Lena, “is that how these friendships function?”
“That’s so fucked?”
More to come.
