Made some threads on here before about girl problems and in between the sarcastic replies you normally get a few decent opinions so here goes:

I live in a uni house, 5 lads and 2 girls, I didnt really know anyone movin in other than to stop and say hi to in the street. Except my best mate who knew pretty much them all better than me, we got the 2 rooms in the basement.

Anyway, in the freshers week this year (start of September) he goes and sleeps in one of them's bed and tried it on with her, he was leathered and is an idiot so she turned him down. Before that they were pretty good mates but it went dead awkward between them and although you wouldnt notice it from the outside they both felt a bit crap about it, especially her as she is a bit insecure.

Anyway, a month or so after that I spent some time with her and developed a bit of a crush I'd say, nothin more than, I went and told my mate about it and we had a laugh about it and it never really went any further than that. A few weeks after that (beginning of November I'd say) I was feeling pretty turd and she came down and we spoke for hours about things. I'll be the first to admit I have a lot of issues (some of the threads I've made on here have been about that) and she had almost all the same issues about bein alone and not feeling comfortable anywhere, that sort of thing.

Coupled with that I went out with her 2 days later for a meal and to a comedy night and had an amazin night with her, after we went to my room and drank a bit more wine. At this point I'd like to point out that I would have jsut done somethin here but with the housemates thing (which I kept being reminded about) it didnt seem like it would go without repercussions. Because of this I decided that yeah it went a bit further than a crush and developed feelings for her.

I told my mate all this and on a daily basis too, he just kept sayin it was a bad idea cos we lived together and things but I said that it was fine as long as I didnt start gettin down about it.

Saturday night everyone except me and this other guy (we had work) went to this massive drum and bass night, when I got up on Sunday mornin to go to work they were all still up in the lounge drinkin etc. I get home from work at 6 or so and they are in his bed together. I jumped to conclusions immediately but then rationalised that he's my mate and after what happened last time they wouldnt do anythin. I also thought that it said a lot about our friendship that I could find him and a girl I'm into in bed together and not mind.

Anyway, last night I wormed it out of him after ages that he had in fact, had sex with her. This is devastating to me, I'd say around 20% the fact that for the first time in 3 years this christmas I finally realised that my ex isn't actually the only girl in the world and I really liked her but the rest is completely his betrayal.

Would anyone else here find it in their hearts to forgive either of them, technically she didnt do anythin wrong other than sleep with her housemate (I reckon she knows I like her but I never said anythin so that cant be counted) but still, you know.

I know she wasnt my girlfriend and all that but surely its still off limits to your bestest mate if you say you like a girl?
 
I be perfectly fine with the girl, as you didn't say anything, how could you possibly hold anything against the girl?

As for your "mate", me personally, I'd have a few stern words with him, possibly a punch up to get it over and done with, then go for a few drinks and forget the whole thing..

On the grand scheme of things, I wouldn't let it bother you... I'd just crack on, you're at Uni, there's millions of girls there, you might not find one ever lasting relationship there, but just go out and have some fun, things will turn around sooner or later :)
 
Bros before hoe's means nothing here, he knew you liked her and then ****** her, I seriously wouldn't be impressed with him.

No swearing
 
Move into the loft, start drilling loads of holes in the ceiling so you can keep an eye on them.
If anymore "funny business" happens sneak down and do them over the head with a hammer, cut them up and bury them in the garden


Sorted...

exactly, thanks. The bros before hoes applies surely on his part not mine?

This guy was my best mate, and I mean the kind of mate you feel like you'd still be mates 20 and 30 years down the line even if absolutely everyone else has fallen by the wayside. I might be able to forgive him one day, even be his friend again but it'll never be the same and I'll never be able to trust him.

The only sensible post in this thread to be honest.
 
I'd let him know that you weren't happy with him. You never know - he may have always had feelings for her too. So go easy, ask him why he did it etc. but in the end there are many more girls out there.

yeah did do that, spoke to him for about 4 hours last night. I'm not the kind of guy to blow up and smack him or anythin.

He says he wasn't thinkin, he was leathered and everythin else went out the window. I sort of believe him about that, I dont really think he was there thinkin about me and purposely doin it or anythin but surely that doesnt matter? Its the action not the thought that defines this.

He says he doesnt have feelings for her which I'm again not so sure about, the other girl in the house is well fit as well and he blatently wants to bang her, everyone knows that so I'm not sure he feels like that about her. I am a bit worried she feels for him though, that really would be the last straw.
 
all these people sayin forget it and things, dont let it come between you, the reason you have mates who you would call best is because your friendships are defined by the fact that they wont screw you over given the opportunity goes without say. Otherwise what else is there? All the trust and laughs and everythin else are surely founded on that?
 
Im a bit confused, do you mean nothing happened between her and you but you did like her, then he slept with her? Or that you slept with her and then she cheated on you with him?

He is in the wrong either way I guess, not much of a friend imo. Only you can decide if its worth staying mates with him though. I have stayed friends with someone through a similar situation..

Edit: re all the replies above, I agree, she hasnt done anything wrong imo
