Here’s a bit of a racy mess, brought to us by Erik from Bournemouth:
My friend, let’s call her Bea, recently engaged in a threeway with a couple, let’s call them Joseph and Mary, with whom she’s been friendly with for quite some time, first Mary then, inevitably, Joseph.
Their relationship is somewhat on the rocks and they felt a threesome may perk it up. Bea, not having been laid in a significant amount of time and quite fancying Joseph, was right up for it and, as it was somewhat Mary’s idea, the three of them spent a sweaty night of x-rated passion together.
They parted ways that morning quite amicably, but now Bea is beginning to form feelings for Joseph, who has become quite flirty with Bea; Mary has gone right off of him and says she can’t kiss him anymore. All signs point to an end to to their relationship.
Bea wants to go out with Joseph but doesn’t want to lose Mary as a friend. So, answer me this: how the hell does Bea start dating Joseph, keep her friendship with Mary and live with herself after this knowing she stole her friend’s boyfriend?
This is that plot in Gossip Girl, isn’t it? Where Dan Humphrey not only manages to get near a girl, but sexes his girlfriend Hilary Duff AND his bff Awful Vanessa AT THE SAME TIME? In the aftermath, Duff reads all the miniature signs on Dan’s teeny-tiny face and realises he’s harbouring extra-friendly Feelings for Awful Vanessa. So she solves the problem by ending her six-episode guest arc the relationship and kindly flouncing off back to ‘Hollywood’, to leave Dan to pursue the monumentally aggravating and horrifically dressed character of his dreams. Series 3, episode 9 if you want to revise.
Yes, I watch too much shit telly. Shut up and leave me alone.
Anyway, we can’t expect Mary to exercise the altruism of Hilary Duff. Furthermore, Bea can’t reasonably expect to have everything that she wants, Mary AND Joseph AND a clear conscience, so she may have to choose between being blue-balled but remaining Mary’s friend, or suffering moral twinges as she enjoys Joseph one-on-one.
However, it would be better for all concerned if Bea keeps her pants on till Mary and Joseph have actually split up, because appropriating a friend’s ex is a lesser charge than stealing their boyfriend, although not without its repercussions depending upon Mary’s disposition. Bea should also be wary that, if and when Joseph becomes a single man, he may not actually be interested in her; being ‘quite flirty’ whilst in the boundaries of a relationship is by no means a promise of true affection and/or sexytime once out of it.
But, you know, maybe I’m being too cautious. Perhaps Bea and Joseph will forge a fine romance, Mary will bestow her blessing, and the happy couple will have a simply adorable “How we got together” story to tell the grandkids.
