When mates let you down

    A few weeks ago myself and my mate had to go to a mates father’s removal wake thingy up the country in the middle of nowhere. We got lost on the way and I spotted a petrol station and we pulled in for directions.
    There was a car pulling out and I hopped out and got the attention of the driver and asked where the house was.
    “Oh just folle me I’m heading there meself” said the crudely looking character. I ran back to the car and hopped in and just about to say “Great just” when my mate floored it and cut you man up out in front of him and sped off down the road chuckling “Out of my way slow coach”

    I yelled what the hell and he replied he not going to be stuck behind a slow coach piece of sh**it.
    I finally got it through that we were meant to be following him and he had to turn and go back, but too late, he had turned off a different road and twenty minutes we finally reached our destination.
    Outside the house I was having a few cans with some fellow wakers when your man comes up to me and said what I did was acting the blaggard and my mate pipes up Yea ya bo***llix Lando ha ha!
    This is not the first time and wont be the last he acted the idiot, but sure he is a mate since year dot and a good one.
    Have your mates ever let you down?

    i thought this was going to be a thread about your mate ACTUALLY letting you down. what he did here was act the bollocks and sure who cares, you got there 20 minutes afterwards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Doesn't sound like he let you down, just sounds like he's a tool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Jogathon


    Yeah, they have. I was quite pee'd off at one great friend when she never came to my 30th. She had to go to her niece's 1st birthday on the same day, but that was the afternoon and mine was evening. It was just an excuse really.

    Your friend sounds immature - he'll grow out of being rude to people but it'll take you (amd many others over time) to say quietly that he really annoyed you by being an ignorant prick. He'll learn eventually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Feeona


    I think your next step is to propose to him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 127 ✭✭Bell Butter


    Yeah, I screwed the mates missus loads of times then married her, what an awful cúnt I am. It would've happened no matter what, she was chasing me for about two years until I gave in.

    The mate in question, I haven't seen him since, that was 11 years ago.

    I am believe, me I am.

    Is this like one of those philosophical statements 'I think, therefore I am'?

    That's the best example you have of a friend letting you down? :confused:

    Was he going out with her when you screwed her?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 127 ✭✭Bell Butter

    Yes.

    Yes.

    That's bad form :(

    Your friend sounds like an aggressive boy racer :rolleyes:

    Once upon a time, I let a load of things slide when it came to mates. Stopped doing that a few years back, and haven't looked back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    That's bad form :(

    Maybe but the friend got rid of two cunts from his life in one go so there's always a silver lining.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 127 ✭✭Bell Butter

    The result would've been the same in any event, I can't go into detail but even if she'd left him, It still wouldn't have been ok with him or anyone else. There are reasons why she didn't. I'm not a horrible bugger. It was just a mad situation at the time.

    God who cares if she didn't go to your party? What are you 5?

    Don't judge, you don't know the details.

    You're the one bragging about how you had to sneak your way into someone else's relationship.

    Personally I'd make up a new meet up story for yourself and the wife as that one really shows you both in a terrible light.

    I wonder how many other people she's shagging now.

    Once a cheater, always a cheater tbh. She's probably cheating on you right now

    More please..




  • More please..

    Just can't imagine what kind of situation would lead to a woman 'chasing' and screwing another guy for 2 years while 'not being able' to leave her partner but OK. I met my current partner while I was living with my emotionally and physically abusive ex. I still left him first.

    You know what they say "get too close to someone and they will piss on you when the sun is shining"

    Wait.....do they not say that? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    More please..

    you smell

    She was in an emotionally abusive relationship too, without giving other details about very important family issues as well I can't say anymore.

    So you were motivated by pity when you
    screwed the mates missus loads of times.

    That's a lot of sympathy shags right there. Still as you point out
    what an awful cúnt I am.

    Still fair play to her to stand up to years of emotional abuse while
    she was chasing me for about two years until I gave in.

    Still you're obviously an honourable guy considering how you stood steadfast with this "emotionally abusive" man until you were worn down enough to take his missus.

    Most people would be so disgusted by a person abusing their partner they wouldn't stay friends with them. Still most men aren't dreaming of shagging their mate's wife either.

    Tbh you don't need to justify it. If people want to judge you **** them, don't feel like you need to explain yourself.

    And Im not saying cheating is ok. Its the one thing i could never understand but that doesn't mean you need to justify yourself or your situation to a bunch of randomers on the internet who are obviously all without sin or regret judging by their posts.

    Amen. If they even knew the good I've done helping other people over the years they wouldn't be so judgmental.

    Any way I've said way too much, I think I'll close this account.

    Reminded of me of this ...

    Nope, he doesn't have to explain. But this is a discussion forum. If you don't want your posts to be discussed then don't post, tbh.

    I've kind of got off on the wrong foot here, without giving precise details, I'll be remembered as the cúnt that shagged his mates missus. Believe me I's not something I am proud of. I can't give any more details. If you knew the whole picture then maybe you would think differently, it's not as black and white as it seems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,753 ✭✭✭davet82

    that would be a cool user name btw :)

    Eh, You know the whole story and as son as you saw this thread all you could think of was "wow an opportunity to show off."

    As someone who had a family member in an physically abusive relationship, I reckon that if your story was in any way true (apart from the cheating) you wouldn't be using it as a "funny" story on boards.

    You haven't a clue, I think you just want more info or just want to push buttons. I'll remain calm because I do want to come back to boards. You have really annoyed me, you have no idea.

    Good bye.

    Two of my best friends and my future brother in law "lost" me on my stag do in Las Vegas a few years ago. When I say lost, they drunkingly locked me on the roof of our hotel when I was passed out in bed and couldn't remember. Apparently, got into awful capers in their subsequent search for me.

    When they did find me, on the day of the wedding no less, I was sunburnt to f*ck and royally pissed off. Didn't miss the wedding though, so all is forgiven.

    Of course you will remain calm. There'll be no rise out of you because it's obvious you have great control over your emotions.

    Sure you managed to ward off the sexual advances of an emotionally abused woman for two years before finally surrendering. Even then you remained so steadfast and calm that rather than manning up and confronting your mate over your new relationship you decided to "screw her loads of times" ensuring you endangered her safety more.

    What a Prince!
