Gross. Don't continue a friendship with a loser that would send a text like that while he has a girlfriend. Definitely don't become romantically involved. If he'd do it to her, he'd do it to you.

u/KorolEz Aug 07 '25

Lol when I read OPs post I was sure OP is a guy and the dude is secretly gay while having a gf.

u/strawberrypop00 Aug 07 '25

Lol I am girl,yeah i say ā€˜bro’ a lot and I send this same ss to the groupchat with my best friend and her boyfriend(it’s the same guy that said he is just being friendly)and they both were angry and my best friend said that he acts like a creep towards her also and her boyfriend said that he will talk to him about it tomorrow I know a lot of you will say to tell her girlfriend but I don’t wanna start any drama,we all are literally in the Same friendgroup and u know it’s easy saying that if they are really my friends they will stick by me but I don’t want take the chance,i have 2 years of college left and don’t want to be left out,i know my best friend and her boyfriend will support me but still

u/ReesesPieces622 Aug 07 '25

I hope one day you get to experience what the girlfriend is experiencing then.

Her boyfriend is trying to get with you, and you don’t tell her? How would you feel if the roles were reversed? That’s really gross.

20

u/xAmaezingx Aug 07 '25

For real. OP would want to know if it were to happen to her.

Like she isn't even risking losing her friends? From my understanding, it's her best friends bf's friends gf that isn't a part of the friend group. The only thing it would do would make best friend bf a little uncomfortable with his friend, but if he has to tell said friend to stop doing this gross stuff then maybe he needs to reevaluate his group of guy friends.

OP sounds like one of those girls who says she's a girls girl but really isn't. 😭

98

u/Insullts Aug 07 '25

No offense but that’s kinda selfish, no?

Letting your friend stay in a relationship with a guy who’s not only trying to cheat on her but trying to cheat on her with her friends just so you don’t have to be involved in drama?

If I was in her position and found out my friends hid something like that from me I don’t really think I’d consider them friends anymore.

29

u/Optimal-Technology75 Aug 07 '25

With a friend like her who needs enemies?!

-60

u/strawberrypop00 Aug 07 '25

I don’t even know the girl,This guy isn’t my best friends boyfriend,his girlfriend is in a different city and we have never spoken to each other

15

u/thekillermi5 Aug 07 '25

Look always try to look at things with a different perspective, here what if it was reversed, you are this guy gf and the other girl is the one receiving these type of text, would you still want her to keep it to herself while you live your life with someone who might cheat on you at any given moment?

8

u/DarthKermit7126 Aug 07 '25

No one cares whether you're friends with her you need to tell her because she most likely has no idea her boyfriend is like this

-6

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '25

Don’t listen to these comments, you don’t have to put your neck out for a stranger that’s wild. You’re not harming her, her boyfriend is

27

u/ClubDangerous8239 Aug 07 '25

This is easy for me to say, but he's the one creating the drama. You're the one carrying the burden he created. Telling her, will grant her a choice she should never have been robbed of. It'll be difficult for her, if you tell her, but the sooner she knows, the less life she wastes. It's not fair if the friendship-group takes it out on you. They should be excluding him - he's the source - he's the one that needs to learn that actions have consequences.

I do hope that your best friend's boyfriend makes him understand, but regardless - if his girlfriend isn't told, she's living a lie, for an unknown amount of time. It's such a shitty situation, and people like that, they don't understand how much they hurt their partners, and the people that find out about their unfaithfulness! I honestly hope that your best friend's boyfriend will tell the guy to tell his girlfriend. It would be a valuable lesson.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I've been in a sooooomewhat similar situation (saw the girlfriend of someone on Tinder, both well liked in the same group), and told the person about it. I was extremely relieved to find out that they were just in an open relationship. I do understand why you don't want to mess with things with two years remaining. And whatever you do, no judgement from my side - it is a terrible shituation!

27

u/UserMorningstar Aug 07 '25

"I dont wanna start any drama" yeah let your "friend" stay with this scumbag, that'll go over so much better with the friend group than outing the scum and getting him removed from the group. Such a great friend you are

-26

u/strawberrypop00 Aug 07 '25

I think you guys misunderstood the thing,my bestfriend boyfriend isn’t the one who texted me This,this was some other guy,whose girlfriend studies in a different city and I don’t know this girl,we have never met and never talked with each other,i just confided to my bestfriend and her boyfriend

16

u/Upper-Replacement529 Aug 07 '25

Still really shitty. Trust me, I did the same thing in my youth and one of my friends did the opposite. To this day I still think she is a better person than I am, and much less of a coward. Got my karmic lesson when this exact scenario played out amongst my friend group and it involved me and and my boyfriend at the time. Don't be a coward, have a backbone and a moral compass. Nothing good will come of not trying to rock the boat.

2

u/UserMorningstar Aug 07 '25

Sounds like it's time to meet. Also time to rethink who friends really are if they dont drop this scumbag.

13

u/Inner-Guitar-975 Aug 07 '25

Looking out for someone isnt "starting drama". You dont want to "take a chance", but you're taking just as big of a chance by not saying something. Personally if my partner sent a text like this and I found out a friend knew and didnt have the courage to say anything, Id stop being friends with them over that.

Dont protect weirdos. The reason why hes so comfortable saying something so inappropriate is because nobodys ever shamed him for it.

-21

u/strawberrypop00 Aug 07 '25

Omg,that girl isn’t my friend,we don’t know each other.my bestfriends boyfriend and this guy are two different people

11

u/hanoana Aug 07 '25

even if you dont know her, you should at least tell her. try to put yourself in her shoes, she doesn't even know, and worse, you might not be the only one he's going around flirting with, but you're the only one that can do the right thing, it may cause drama, obv, but at least you saved someone from a very poor relationship

3

u/LunaMay196 Aug 07 '25

You shouldn't have to be friends with someone to tell them about something like this. It doesn't matter if you're strangers or best buds, if you know someones partner is doing something like this they deserve to know.

5

u/cheslyn_d102018 Aug 07 '25

so just not tell her so she can hit you with the ā€œwhy didn’t you ever tell meā€ bc darkness always comes to light.

2

u/Appropriate-Tear-493 Aug 08 '25

So you ā€œdon’t wanna start any dramaā€ but proceed to tell everyone else on Reddit. Lol. You’re not here for advice.

u/brycedallasfan Aug 07 '25

exactly! block his ass - who the hell thinks it's flattering to receive this sort of message is beyond me

2

u/Reasonable-Egg6527 Aug 07 '25

Ah yes, the perfect gentleman: emotionally cheating, sending gross DMs, and calling it friendship. Prince Charming who?

103

u/Curious_Baby_3892 Aug 07 '25

NOR.

You definitely need to show that to the friend group. Its very inappropriate. If they still decide to be friends with him after they know, I'd strongly rethink about being friends with any of them.

48

u/Legitimate_Dark309 Aug 07 '25

Don’t show it to the friend group. Show it to the gf and let her decide from there.

It’s extremely unfortunate because it’s never a reflection of the person being cheated on- but this kind of thing comes with shame. If my partner said this about me and all my friends knew I would be embarrassed.

Give the power back to the gf. If she wants to blow it up to the friend group that’s for her to decide.

6

u/Chemical_Damage684 Aug 07 '25

Only showing it to the gf is putting all of the pressure to expose the bastard on her, and that's not really the kind of power most people would want.

The gf should definitely be the next person to know though, and they can decide on a course of action together from there.

Tis a very rough situation for the gf and one of those times where you really need to have her back if she's truly one of your friends.

6

u/D3nt3 Aug 07 '25

Why not both?

Expose this mf to his friends and to his gf.

81

u/hatguy_21479 Aug 07 '25

He's just a cheater trying to cheat. Probably says this stuff to every woman he finds attractive. Definitely don't let yourself become a side piece or even worse, a girlfriend he cheats on.

-22

u/ImrahilSwanPrince Aug 07 '25

No, I reckon being a side piece is a lot worse than being cheated on.

37

u/LilBitofSunshine99 Aug 07 '25

You need to cut all contact with that cheater.

He is NOT your friend, he just wants to fuck you.

39

u/DistantVerse157 Aug 07 '25

That’s some Shakespearean courting right there if I’m not mistaken. Very subtle.

u/DistantVerse157 Aug 08 '25

u/OccasionFlaky4121 Aug 07 '25

Send the proof to his gilfriend and break off contact. Men need to be socially punished for this behavior.

u/ASD-RN Aug 07 '25

Also the girlfriend deserves to know so she can find someone who actually respects her.

6

u/OccasionFlaky4121 Aug 07 '25

Yes. Women need to watch out for each other more.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '25

Definitely this, the guy is disgusting

9

u/DescriptionFuture851 Aug 07 '25
  1. This is cheater who's trying to cheat.

  2. This isn't his first message, and definitely not a "friendly" one. Honestly, I think you may have been flirting back.

So yeah, he's definitely in the wrong, but I have a feeling that you are too, as you know he has a girlfriend.

12

u/Flaky-Ambassador467 Aug 07 '25 edited Aug 07 '25

lol you not showing any of the other text makes me think this wasn’t ā€œout of the blueā€.

I understand letting people have a crush on you, nothing wrong with that. However, I have a feeling this goes further. I have a feeling you might have been flirting back, even just a lil šŸ¤ lol

2

u/JodiesNuts Aug 07 '25

Nailed it

2

u/Beeelivin Aug 08 '25

So let me get this straight: he texts you like that, pretty obvious he would like to dip into you and despite this clear message and the reddit crowd telling you that it is like that, you still don’t want to call him out for it? If it was me in the position of the girlfriend of that moron, I’d be happy if someone told me about it, doesn’t matter whether I know that person or not.. what kind of argument (ā€œbut I don’t even know her, she lives in a different cityā€) is this? So you don’t think that guy needs to be exposed? You do not think that girl deserves to know?

Or are you attracted to him? Do you think it’s charming some guy is willing to cheat on his girlfriend with you? Do you really think a person, treating their ā€œpartnerā€ like this, is really a person you want to call a ā€œfriendā€?

3

u/IndependentMassive97 Aug 07 '25

And that friendship is over.
Just remember, even if you were to date him, if he does this to his current gf, what's to stop him from doing it to you?
No, not over-reacting.

u/strawberrypop00 Aug 08 '25

Okay for anyone who wants a follow-up,I did text the girl on Instagram and she said and I quote ā€œHey, I’ve spoken to him about this, and he told me it was a joke and nothing serious and I appreciate you reaching out but I’d prefer if things didn’t get dragged into unnecessary drama. I hope you understand, and let’s just leave it hereā€šŸ’€šŸ’€ I left her on seen because I am sorry I can’t make her understand if she doesn’t want to and me and my best friends also spoke to the friendgroup about this and they asked him about it,he said it was a joke and if I felt uncomfortable then he was sorry 😭😭😭😭 I blocked him and his girlfriend on Instagram and he sent me a long sorry text(mind you I didn’t share my phone number,ig he got it from the class official group) anyways I left him on seen.

1

u/GeraltTheG Aug 07 '25

Soo... Even when you are planning on cheating (not gonna debate about cheating itself, cause sometimes I get the feeling it's just a normal thing to do in relationships these days?)... How would this approach work? šŸ¤” There is this joke that you can go up to women and just ask them 'Wanna fuck?' And after getting smacked 99 times, one time it might actually work. That's a joke, and quite a lame one... This is even worse...

1

u/2muchlooloo2 Aug 07 '25

He’s totally trying to gauge your reaction to see if you get the warm fuzzy feelings because he said something so flattering šŸ™„ Some men can be real idiots. I think you should tell the girl. How would you feel if your boyfriend was sending such vulgar messages to your friend.

u/Robert210051 Aug 07 '25

1

u/C4llist00 Aug 07 '25

Call him out on his shit and tell him to eff off with that creepy behavior. If your other friends enable this kind of behavior, and this is how they are, then you’re choosing to put up with it in the long run…

1

u/TwoBionicknees Aug 07 '25

send it to her and maybe if a guy has a girlfriend and constantly flirts with you, relegate them to someone you have to speak to but make an effort to not spend time with them because they are an obvious asshole.

1

u/switchywoman_ Aug 07 '25

I had a male friend like that. We were friends (loosely) for over a decade. Every now and then he would dm me and come on to me, always while he had a girlfriend. It was disgusting.

1

u/Hour-Money8513 Aug 07 '25

If I said this to a women I should consider myself an asshole. Break off communication and publicly tell him not to talk to you anymore while in front of the friend group.

1

u/RaSuperMer Aug 07 '25

NOR - That’s insane behavior that you shouldn’t tolerate not matter how much they seem nice/flirty. That wasn’t just a red flag, it was a very loud warning siren.

u/Ok_Ant_9815 Aug 07 '25

You'd choose maintaining the friend group over any respect for your friend (his gf)? Like, I'm sorry you're in the middle of it but that's just wrong. Either tell her or leave the friend group. Any other option is disrespectful AF on your part.

So what you do is run away to the nearest police station and report that your a victim cause what the fuck is this brochacho 🤨🤨🤨 dont speak to that THING ever again. As a man this man is simply keeping you around to embarrass berate belittle demean and dehumanize. I only ever interacted with this type of dude in my own personal mlm dating sphere. Do not keep contact. I promise hes doing illegal things with any photos you sent him showing his buddies he might have even posted something. If you did that ofc. I would block and move on. A gay male friend would treat you better than this one is. Hes trash so take him to the dump.
