So I’ve got a friend that I’ve known for years (30 give or take) that has been going through some marital problems over the last couple of years. (No pics of his wife) We have always spoken very upfront with each other and never gotten bent out of shape about anything the other said....until the other day.

Long story short he was unloading about the constant bickering and mentioned that she had told him “why don’t you go get a girlfriend.” The rest of the conversation went as follows:

Donkeypunch: “Why the frick would she say that”?


Buddy: “She said “that we are both miserable, maybe that will make you happy “”.
Donkeypunch: “bullshite”
Buddy: “What do you mean bullshite”.
Donkeypunch: “No woman is just going to give her SO a hall pass. Somebody is getting up in her guts and she feels guilty.”

At that point he seemed pretty pissed and “had to get home” shortly after.

I walked in after he left and told Mrs Donkeypunch about the conversation. She told me that I had crossed the line. I feel like my assessment of the situation was correct, and he brought the subject up so it was fair game.

What say ye good people of the OT, did I cross the line or not?

**Bonus Question: was Donkeypunch’s analyzes spot on?**

i don’t think you crossed the line. That was prob in the back of his mind anyway. You bringing it up struck a nerve.

ETA Real friends should tell you shite that other people won’t

Nah. That's what friends are for.

He probably got upset and went home because he realized you were right and wanted to be alone to cry himself to sleep.

She wasn't sincere.

You were out of line.

Your wife is his side piece.

You were right.


Sometimes people don’t want to hear the ugly truth.

Evidently not. But no doubt Jody is unloading on his wife a few times a week.

You weren’t out of line. If you’ve known him for 30 years that was fair game. Gotta shoot your friends straight.

Sounds like Donkeypunch doesn't understand sarcasm. You're crazy if you think she was serious.

In an attempt to not write a 2,000 word post , I left a few irrelevant (so I thought) of the conversation out. According to him, their conversation was fairly long on the subject and she serious.

No you didn’t cross a line, why are you going to a woman about if you did cross a line in a conversation with a friend.

Your buddy went home because of two reasons, he either realized you are right or he already knows she cheated on him. He didn’t feel like having that conversation with you.

I wouldn't have said it, at least not that pointedly. Maybe just like "that's very bizarre that she would say that..."

But who knows how you and your friend relate? But seems he may have had a problem with it so there's your answer.

You were wrong and an idiot if you truly used those words. Knowing someone for 30 years should clue you in on what you can or cant say. Know your audience.

I honestly wouldn't have thought that right off the bat, but I still think it's a good thought. Probably better said lighter

My first thought would have been that she was reiterating something probably said in a different way before and not understood, like making the point she is who she is and if you want her to change maybe she's not the one.

Second, if the marriage is good otherwise, a lot of problems can stem from lack of sex. If that's what's going on, she may be suggesting she'd be willing to turn a blind eye if it meant you were off her arse by getting that one thing somewhere else. Not that I condone cheating, but most women wouldn't even give their husband an excuse to misinterprite something as permission to
