Loving and hating drama witha passion. . .

So my friend Leia was involved in this friends with benifits relationship with Ted. Ted is another good friend of mine; a self proclaimed boho into free love (but no actual sex...he's a Christian). But once school started, they began to drift apart. Leia kept confiding in me throughout the school year, about how confused she was, about what she and Ted did over the summer, etc. Even though it was supposed to be a friends with benifits relationship, she loved him like it was a serious one. I told her she needed to talk to Ted about all this. Leia didn't want to talk to him because she was afraid it would warp into this big blow up. I told her that if she didn't talk to Ted it would turn into a big blow up.

And it did turn into a big blow up - with me in the middle. Ted, in his usual boho way, invited me out with a poem. I called him up and told him it wouldn't work because I was to close to Leia, who really loved him, and it woudln't work. Ted complained about how she told everyone too much specifics about their relationship (like what they did) which he told her not to do. So after talking to Ted, he bitches at Leia, then Leia calls me, and I explain what happened. . .

I think they're both at fault in the relationship - they both should have communicated more because Leia was taking it more as a serious friends with benifits thing, and Ted was taking it as a casual friends with benifits thing. Neither of them had seriously discussed their relationship since August.

So I still want to hang around with Ted - not to really do anything as much as just talk about life and hang out more, which I should be able to do. But I'm afraid of hurting Leia even though whatever semblance of a relationship they had has now crumbled into the ashes in the relationship graveyard.

So wtf mates? What should I do?

 

Hit them over the heads with frying pans, ducktape them together in a missionary position type of way, and let them duke it out with their teeth. Or maybe you could undress them beforehand, and find out how Christian he really is.

 

I think you should go your own way and let them go theirs... I'm not saying quit being friends, I'm saying use time as a tool to take its toll.

 

This idea is prolly safer (but less fun) then mine.

 

Yeah... most likely less fun... but... the missionary is soooooo cliche. Try the wheelbarrow.

 

They couldnt talk face to face tho...haha (i just pictured them tied up in a wheel barrel position)

 

Yeah... but he could like... look at them... but, that wouldn't make sense... if they were naked and out cold, they couldn't talk to begin with even if they were face to face... as they would be... out cold.

 

Well they'd wake up eventually.

 

At least they'd be in a "what the hell am I doing" type of position. Wheelbarrows are funny as shit.

 

Hahahaha....yes...I can see it now...haha. Go with the wheelbarrel position, girl:H
