Lele
Fiancé wants to fight my friends bf for giving me a kiss on the neck when we were parting the other day. I told him a few days after the incident and that upset him, but he also said he won’t rest until he “knocks him out,’ Now I regret telling him. She’s a good friend and we had couples things planned. I’m so conflicted. Was I right? Is he right/ I’ve never gone through this before…
Raven2 questions:
1. Why did you tell your Fiancé this?
2. Did you also tell your girlfriend what her boyfriend did?LeleMy sister said I should. That if somewhere down the line I slipped, he would’ve be extra mad that I kept it from him. Plus, I’m not telling my friend. She’s been with him almost 11 years. a little background – he had met me years ago when I was dating someone else and commented to my friend about how he found me gorgeous. I stopped hanging with them until recently when I started dating my now fiance. I thought things were ok. I never sensed he was still attracted to me. He def ccaught me off guard.
AngieBabyYou’re really between a rock and a hard place.
Was the kiss on the neck playful and silly or flirtatious and inappropriate? Were you alone with him, and if so why? Did he say anything to do with this kiss? Need more information.
In my experience women, especially when they’ve been with a man for a long time, don’t appreciate you when you tell them their guy behaved badly like this. You may lose her as a friend if you tell her. If you tell her, she might confront him and he will deny it so she will side with him against you. If she doesn’t confront him, she will likely be uncomfortable around you. You’ve probably lost a friend.
On the other hand, you’ve told your fiancé and he’s angry and won’t forget it so you really can’t hang out as a foursome, you see that, right?
I speak from experience, I’ve been in this situation twice and also observed how others deal with the same thing. I noted what works and what doesn’t.
You can still be friends with her, but I can’t see you being able to get together with her and her BF without risking another incident AND riling up your fiancé. You shouldn’t have told your fiancé, but it’s too late now.
These situations suck. Best thing to do is ignore the incident if it’s minor and don’t tell anyone and make sure you’re never alone with the guy in the future. You could tell him privately you’re sure it’s a misunderstanding and it can’t happen again. That should take care of it. If it doesn’t, or it’s a major incident, then you have to speak up and be prepared to lose the female friend, unless she’s unusual and sticks up for you and tells him off.
LeleWe were all saying goodbye. My fiancé was saying goodbye to her when her bf walked to me kissed me on the cheek before hugging me then before he let go kissed me on the neck. I didn’t think anything of it until I was home and remembered an ex had done that to me after our first date and how it showed me he was interested in more. And yes, we aren’t hanging anymore. My fiancé was quiet all the way home when I first told him. He stayed quiet then went for a walk for like 10 minutes. Got home and then told me his plan to fight him. I don’t know if my fiancé I psycho and it’s showing up now or this really is a big situation.
AngieBabyYour fiancé is having a normal reaction. He’s going to want to protect you. That’s what men do. My BF would react the same way.
RavenYour Fiancé was not disrespected. It was your GF that was disrespected:..
Ewawhat cultural background is he /are you from? where I am from is perfectly normal to kiss someone on a cheek when saying goodbye , in fact we even do it 3 times haha we even do it when we say hello so this wouldn’t be seen as something unusual or inappropriate in my culture, but from others are saying it looks quite bad.
Lelewe are all American. We kiss on the cheek, but not the neck. That was the problem.
@raven – both were disrespected including me.Ewaah ok sorry my bad , how is he normally with you? does he flirt , does he contact you when you’re not around.
AngieBabyThat’s pretty bold, doing something like that when your BF and his GF are close by.
At this point, if you know the four of you aren’t going to hang out any longer, all you can do is let some time go by and hopefully your fiancé will let it go eventually.
RavenMaybe your Fiancé should knock some sense into him…
MaddieCan you tell your fiance this jerk is meaningless to you and isn’t worth your fiance ending up facing assault charges, so can it be enough for you both to simply cut the guy out and not waste further time or energy on him? Your fiance can trust you, you’ve *all* been disrespected and want nothing more to do with him. It’s totally normal to be angry about the situation, but it’s mature not to escalate it. Instead, both of you go no contact with this crappy guy, and focus on enjoying your wedding and the people you actually want to have around you.
I’m not sure what to do about your friend, though. Is she already aware of his disrespectful behavior in general but choosing to ignore it to stay with him? Usually things like this don’t only happen once with one person, he will try to get away with as much as he can with multiple women, so there are likely other red flags for her already that she may be looking the other way on. If she’s ignoring it, telling her he’s a jerk may not help as she will take his side. In which case you can keep hanging out with her, but not want to see him anymore. I’ve had things go either way when I’ve told friends their man was problematic. No one ever listens, but some come around and thank you later, others just get mad and cut you out instead of leaving the guy.
TallspicyMountain meet molehill. Drama drama drama. I don’t understand why you told anyone and why you just don’t stay away from or push him away. Your boyfriend wants to knock him out… ridiculous. He needed a 10 minute walk to calm down. Honestly, this all feels like way too much.
