I’m a strong adherent to the code of “bros before hos“. One part of my particular version of the code is that I will not place blame on a friend just because a girl I like fancies him more. Emotions are funny like that – you can’t control how you feel, so feeling resentment for a guy just because the girl I like happen to like him more is silly. Especially when the guy is a good and longtime friend.

Recently, a friend came to me expressing concern about a situation like the above. I had told him that there was no need to tell me. “You know me, I’m not like that” I’d said. He said, “I know but it’s always good to be completely sure rather than assume that you’d be ok about it.”

And that is why he is one of my bff bros. :)
