I have these two really great friends. I love them both so much
but latley things have been a little weird.
My Bestie has two twin boys. For the first three years of their
lives their father was not around very much. She took care of them
and was the main parent in their lives. We have this mutal friend
and we all have kids the same ages. We usually do everything
together. Holidays, birthdays, weekends i mean everything. Well our
mutal friends husband does not like my besties old man. He has
spoken out about how he is a bad father and that he is a bad man.
He is generally right about everything that he has said. Well the
bestie is now with her babys father and they are living together.
The two men dont get along at all. They really want to fight but we
dont give them the chance to do so. But things have changed. We
dont get to hang out together anymore and it is always a little
akward.
I guess what i want to know is if there is someway to fix this. Do
you know of anything that can be done to get them to get along and
to be able to be in the same room for the kids sake? any advice
would help.
I am stuck between two friends

Report AbuseI think it hard for men to get over themselves, even if its best for the kids. They have too much pride. Its there nature. they may never get along because there egos have been briused already

Report AbuseWell, the husband needs to realize that its not his relationship or his kids. So if you friend decided to get back with him and she has gotten over the fact that he was not there for the first part of the kids life then thats between her and him. The other guy has nothing to do with it and his wife needs to talk to him about it if she is a good friend and wants to continue to hang out with the two of you.

Report AbuseI agree with confused men be 'ego trippin' i dont know if you'll be able to fix it. Like Lorin W said just leave the men at home and you women and the kids go out and have a great time together maybe theyll learn to get along.

Report AbuseWe have tried the whole leaving them at home thing. Then we just get 20 questions on who was there and what happened. The one friend has ofered to apoligize and let things go but my besties old man wants to box and even then he says things wont be cool.so i just dont know what to do.

Report AbuseMen fighting is just immature. Nobody can just have a good time anymore, there's always someone wanting trouble. I guess if they can not put there feeling aside for the people they love.....then you pretty much have to choose...The guy or the friend. It sucks! Good Luck, God Bless

Report Abusewell so there has been a new breaking point in the whole story. The other guy went to our besties house last night to see if he could talk to her old man and see if they could work things out. well the besties old man would not let him any where near the house and would not let him apoligize. i dont know what is going on but it needs to end. we hate it and now we hate him.
