Being close friends with both parties in an extremely turbulent, fractious relationship: dud or fucking mega dud

It's completely ruined my saturday evening and possibly tainted the next six months or so of my social life. Sorry, internet, I just need somewhere to vent.

Mostly I've only ever been one of the turbulent, fractious parties. Surely a night out with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is more fun than a night out with The Waltons?

Trust me -- it ain't.

More exciting, more memorable, yeah. Fun, not so much.

I'm clinging to exciting and memorable on account of being terrified of death.

The worst, especially if both parties, when you are hanging out with them individually, want to spend all of your quality time alternately complaining and priming you for information about their partner. UGLY.

Oh yeah, listening to people slagging off their former loved ones is massively dudlicious. I was only thinking of the sophisticuffs.

You just want to have your wicked way with John-Boy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 19 November 2006 02:58 (nineteen years ago)

never quite been in this exact situation, thankfully. most of my close friends are either in settled relationships, or are with people I barely even know.

I await this inevitable circumstance with great trepidation, however.

Is this about the recent elections?

The worst aspect of it is the nagging guit that you might have inadvertantly done something to exacerbate things.

Ned, you are so right ;)

i've been in this situation too often, most recent occasion i was getting phone calls from both parties and asking me what x (and y) was saying and having to pretend not to have spoken to y (and x).

colossal dud.

But being in the middle of stupid craziness is a vibrant part of living, isn't it?

(And I'm exaggerating my own part in the shouting match, a little.)

BUT C'MON. RAGE! RAGE!

Actually the worst thing about it is you're catching so much flak and gulit about it, but you haven't had so much as a fucking blowjob.

Dud dud dud. Especially when you put marriage, affairs, mental illness, and emotional abuse into the equation. It's all bad.

and yet millions of people watch soap operas.

Yeah but you don't have the characters calling you up at 2 am while drunk.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 19 November 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I don't like soap operas.

― Through a twenty deep screen of humourists (noodle vague), Sunday, 19 November 2006 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

Classic! But then I hate the world and myself and thing everyone should be as miserable as I am.
