Kinda of ironic reading your post as I had a similar conversation with some friends the other night. Two of my buddies are dating two girls in our circle. I know them all, but one of the girls said the exact something the last time we spoke. Her ex husband who I knew got brought up in a conversation. In front of my buddy she says "I got bored of him, just wasn't feeling it anymore", "he was and still is bitter about it". My buddy willingly was hooking up with her knowing she was living with her BF. Shortly after they started hooking up she dumped that BF and went exclusive with my boy. Now 4 months later they are shopping to buy a house together.
He went from being a cool dude to hangout with, to now being a controlled little sissy boy. He's making a huge mistake, but it ain't my problem. I can tell the chick has some kind of personalty disorder. Shes always super flirty with me even around him and she doesn't give af about hiding it. If she cheated on her ex with you, she will cheat on you with someone else when she gets bored of you. Both in their low 40's making six figures.
My other boy who is a known grade A a$$hole has been dating another chick in our circle for 1.5 years. I always suspected she has bpd or some other PD. She has broken up with him 8 times so far, one being a few weeks ago. Most times I see them together their body language is so obvious they got in a fight or they're hating each other. Him and I went fishing for the first time in over a year. He told me just about everything shes been doing to him and the relationship has been a struggle. I told him she has a personality and to be very careful. Even tho he is aware of her behaviors, he doesn't know what it all "really means". I lost count of how many red flags I had point out to him during our conversation. A few being, constant validation, projecting her bad behavior onto him, going on trips with her guys friends while not including him, being pissed when he wants to do his own thing.
No matter how much I tried to educate him, he's blinded by the pu$$y. Every time he talks to her on the phone they fight. Get this, I just found out him and her are also looking to buy a place together as well. Just two weeks ago he was staying at her place, she pissed him, he went to bed, she started making all kinds of noise on purpose to annoy him, so he got up and left to sleep at his place. My other boys are like "well maybe if they move in it will strengthen their bond and make things better". I was like you guys are joking right.
They are all in their low 40's and its clear the guys are willing to take the womens chit due to their age or being brainwashed. They're worried they wont find a hotter chick or any chick to settle down with. One of the guys is divorced with two kids, the other has nothing but a past riddled with failed relationships. The a$$hole guy bought a house with a chick years ago and 3 weeks later she cheated on him and left him. The guy she cheated on him with was texting him pics and video of him phuking his lady. Then another girl who had his kid, then a year later after a drunken rage told him the kid was never his. He fell into depression, lost some hair and aged a good bit from all that drama.
