    I expect the “close friend” is no longer close, but the person who broke the promise, to whatever degree the promise was there, is the one who should get the most shit.

    I say this as someone whose wife cheated on me. She broke her vows, she chose to cheat instead of just leaving me, he was incidental and could have been anyone. I can hardly blame him, my wife was hot af, and she lied to him, of course.

      I have two friends who first met because one was this girl’s “platonic cuddle buddy” and the other was her fuckbuddy. Neither knew she was effectively getting half the relationship from the other and they both wanted a “full” relationship with her until they both showed up at an event she was at and it came out. When they found out they both “dumped” her and became friends.

      Yeah, if someone is willing to cheat, they will cheat with just anyone. And all the best to you!

    Ive been on the wrong end of this a few times. A woman comes chatting to me in the pub, and then the boyfriend turns up and starts trying to fight me.

    Mate, I dont even know her name let alone her relationship status. Your problem is not with me.

    Hi, dog speaker here, that dog is actually pretty upset. Dogs won’t show their teeth or really the whites of their eyes like this unless they’re uncomfortable.

      Hi, dog speaker here

      What’s up dog?

      No, but seriously - this pic is very strange. Why does the dog look like it just escaped a zombi apocalypse?

      Uh, this isn’t true. My dog literally smiles when she’s happiest (usually during belly rubs). Belly rub from yesterday. She rolls on her back, exposes her belly, and smiles bigger and bigger as I scratch:

        And some breeds (like dobermans) do the stupid little smile when they’re happy, which includes showing their front teeth and usually a lot of wiggling. But I’ve never seen them doing it other than upright position, and I think they tend to squint their eyes too doing that, so whatever is going on the op picture does not look like that. But dogs showing teeth really has multiple meanings, the context and body language tell the rest

      Well dog’s can (sort of) simile. But I agree, the way it shows teeth combined with the look of the eye … He’s not relaxed. He’s on edge or up to something, I’d be on my guard near him right now.

    That’s a cool story, and a well done tattoo, but… We all know that dog really has no clue what that lady did wrong. He’s just a bitey boy.

        I have one piece of capital A art. It’s a watercolor of the Y in South lake Tahoe (you know the intersection) and it also looks like a dog living its best life. Some famous dude painted it for gran for saving his life. Now it’s mine!

        If you don’t know the area, it just looks like splotches. Or a dog licking its balls. But if you know the area, those few streaks of ink evoke home.

          I don’t know the intersection, having never heard of Lake Tahoe before (I’m guessing that’s somewhere in the US?)

          Anywho, in your painting does the dog have a leg going through it’s head at an anatomically impossible angle?

      Waitwaitwait…

      Doggo has a sensitive nose. We know he had to notice a strong smell of another male and scent of sex on the ex.

      Now, there is a really, really small, almost nonexistant chance that the doggo connected the dots and assumed she betrayed the pack.

      And sure, chance is really low…but I also don’t see a lot of claims to similiar story and if something has extremely small chance of happening, it still may happen. xD

        More than likely the dog detected anxiety/hesitation/etc, saw that as prey/weak pack behavior and attacked accordingly. Dog would probably attack children.

          We reeeeaaaally wanna believe all dogs are kill machines, don’t we? Also dunno if someone who cheats would feel anxiety, isn’t there tendency that cheaters blame their faithful partners?

            Idk man not every dog has strong predatory or pack insticts but most the ones that go around biting people do.

            And people often do things in the moment and post rationalize as well. Some cheaters absolutely have anxiety, regret or complex emotions about it. Even the ones who don’t might hesitate to construct a lie or evaluate whether a partner’s response will be dangerous.

              My reaction was mostly provoked by the “Dog would probably attack children”. It’s funny to me that, seemingly, lemmings are more eager to assume each single dog is a non senstient killing machine rather that it tried to protect it’s owner. xD

              Most dogs have instinct to hunt prey, but like with humans, they can learn to overwrite them and most under good owners do. It’s werid to me when I see people immediately assume the dog is aggressive just because of one reported bite scenario, and that specific one at the same time. Like saying that a random person is overly aggresive because when you heard once that they hit someone.

    This reads to me as shitting equally on both of them.

    For what’s it’s worth, the close friend would be dead to me whereas the ex is just an ex?

      If they spent a lot of life together, it may not be an option to just forget. Move on, yes, but not forget. Having a tatoo imprinting 24/7 the one funny part of the story may force your brain to let go faster.
