Friends Code of Conduct…

Is there such a thing? I mean how do we know if ones code of conduct towards ones friends will be reciprocated? And if it’s not… what is their code of conduct towards us?

Last week, I turned on the radio and heard my favorite morning group asking the general public if “a friend’s ex would be off limits”. The majority of male callers said no and the majority of women callers said yes. Now being that I am a woman, I can only speak from this point of view. You see we (woman) are emotional creatures. We make every (and all) effort to “bond” to someone/something, in every experience we have. We want to be “the only one”, “the perfect girl”, “the love of his life”…. So when that doesn’t happen… we move on. Now you can imagine, if a close friend starts dating the one you are trying to get over… the “moving on” doesn’t quite come that easily. Everything you try to forget… just resides. Every thing you try to let go… stays, and every image you want to get fuzzy… becomes translucent- (definitely not a good thing, when you are trying to move on).

So basically, Yes! Any ex of any friend, acquaintance, relative, or neighbor… is completely off limits to me. Maybe it’s a little over board… but personally-I hate drama.

Just my opinion though!
