Dear Blog,
I rarely ever discuss my husband’s friends. I might mention them once in awhile, but I know I don’t go into depth about them. Most of his friends are old college friends or co-workers. He’ll go out for coffee with them or invite them over for dinner. I think most of the people I’ve met are more of “acquaintances” than close friends. Gerard has always been a friendly person, so it’s not hard for him to strike up a conversation with a random stranger. (I’ve always envied that about him. People flock to him)
I’ve come across people who think that homosexual men don’t have many heterosexual friends. I’ll admit that before I met Gerard, I used to think that too. However after meeting all his friends over the years I’d have to say that at least 80% of his friends are straight.
Gerry has met all of my friends. I’m usually on the phone with them, Skyping or sending them old-fashioned-snail-mail letters. He gets along with most of my friends, maybe there is one or two who’s company he doesn’t enjoy, but in general he’s content with my crowd.
I’m usually also enjoy his friends, but here is ONE I really can’t tolerate; Antony. (name changed for obvious reason. lol)
Antony, “Tony”, is straight and constantly changing girlfriends . He has known Gerard since Junior High School. (Which is like forever to them). Tony has a certain charm to him that makes girls drool. He isn’t exactly a Playboy, considering he is a successful computer technician, and only dates entrepreneur women. But he has the worst manners and just gets on my nerves.
Whenever he comes over he hits on me; insinuating that I should leave Gerry for him. At first I thought he was a joke so I’d play around and agree, but that only made him even more annoying. Now whenever he comes over or calls to the house he calls me “sweet-pea”, “baby” or “chiquita”. He flirts with everyone and often says the wrong thing. So I know he doesn’t secretly like me. Besides, Gerry is kind enough to remind me that I’m not Tony’s type.
I know I can’t be the only person whose spouse has a friend you don’t get along with. I guess right now I’m just venting. Letting it out.
Why?
For obvious reasons. Tony is stopping by this weekend with his latest girlfriend and we’re having a couples dinner party. I hope his date is someone who’s company I can enjoy. Otherwise the evening is going to seem eternal.
Till Next time. Wish me luck!!
