His Friend’s Trying To Rationalize Having A One-Night Stand With A Married Man
It was a week ago when this 25-year-old guy and his 25-year-old female friend were at a bar together.
There, his friend met a guy named Josh, who seemed to be somewhere in his mid-30s or early 40s.
His friend really hit it off with Josh, and he was sitting close enough to Josh that he could see a text pop up on his phone.
The text said something along the lines of, “When are you coming home, babe?” followed by a heart emoji.
He wasn’t listening to what his friend and Josh were talking about, but after he saw that text, he began paying attention.
It was harmless chitchat between his friend and Josh, and they were talking about a TV show. He jumped into the conversation before asking if everyone wanted more drinks.
Everyone said yes, so he asked his friend to come along with him to get more drinks. He then informed his friend about the text he saw on Josh’s phone.
His friend seemed shocked to know that Josh clearly had a woman at home waiting for him, but then they had to quickly place their drinks orders.
After they arrived back at the table, his friend asked Josh if he was married, and Josh confirmed this.

He sat down and started talking to the rest of his friends while still keeping an ear on what his female friend and Josh were discussing.
As the evening wore on, his friend texted him, saying she’s going home, and he was ready to call it a night, too.
“The next morning, we text, as we always do, and I jokingly ask her if she went home with the married guy,” he explained.
“I thought she was going to go with the bit, but she said yes in a serious tone. I asked her if she was kidding, and she said she wasn’t. When I asked her why she did that, she said that it was going to happen anyway; he had gone to that bar with the intention of going home with someone that night, so why shouldn’t it be her?”
“If it was going to happen no matter what – as he already had a few other people interested in him – it makes no difference if it’s her or someone else.”
He was quite upset because not only was she not joking about her one-night stand with a married man, but she was additionally trying to rationalize the whole thing.
He’s uneasy that his friend could actually do something like this, and he’s questioning if he should end their friendship over her lack of morals.
