somebody could come along this Saturday?














Am I about to find out why he and his wife are getting a divorce?










I think I am.

















What's the move here?  Play dumb say yes and let this train wreck unfold?










I'm not really friends with him.  He is not a gun guy. He's a "couples" friend. I wouldn't hang out with him other than the fact that "we" sort of hang out with "them" because "they" are close, our kids are the same age and get along well.



 










ETA: For background, he and his wife are still living together and haven't filed any PW.  They have just determined that they're done within the past two weeks or so.  Came out of nowhere.

Sounds like a bad situation to get yourself into. I personally would not take him shooting if I wasn't very close with him.

I'll be armed and I ran ranges with shooters at the lowest end of the gene pool an ASVAB waiver can get enlisted.




I'll be fine.

Is the "third" bringing their own ammo/firearms/targets/PPE? or are you expected to provide?

Ask him if it is a GF. If he says yes tell him you aren't comfortable with her being there as it might put you in an awkward position (heh dirty minded people make your own joke).





If he is a good guy he will understand, if he pitches a fit he ain't worth having around.





ETA: actually I wouldn't ask if it is a GF, I would just ask if it was a female friend. Then you have plausible deniability that he doesn't have a GF.

Take him shooting, it might be quality entertainment on many levels.

Unless he thinks primuspilum was sleeping with her already.
Could be the set up for a "tragic shooting accident" with a witness!

I don't know who the "third" is; this is just conjecture.



 



I'm assuming I'm providing anything we need.  They don't even know the basics of gun etiquette yet.




I'm sure I'll get an offer from him to pay for lunch afterwards.

I would avoid the situation sounds like it could all go south and you and him get left somewhere or you have to testify in court as a witness to a future Oxygen show.

Maybe his friend is "new Army", and you can tell them both about the welcoming diversified environment we have for "new Army" couples here @ ARFCOM.

Any reason to think he is bringing his GF along? I'm thinking he is just wanting to bring another friend along who wants to go shooting. People I invite shooting frequently want to bring along another one of their buddies.

Have him bring the friend if for no other reason than the lols.

Have you ever been dragged into the middle of a "friend's" divorce before?

Unless you are really good friends with one of them, I would stay out and do nothing with them.

I'm confused.  He wants a 3rd person to go?  Is this his on-the-side?

ETA: Answered.  

Yeesh.  I don't think I would get in to the middle of it, if he's bringing someone the wife would not approve of...

I would ask him who it is first.

Be upfront with him. Since he is not a really good friend, if you piss him off, no big loss.

There is your answer. I personally wouldn't get involved.  




I was dating a girl and one of her church friends had something happen like this. Her friends husband tried to befriend me and I told him "my dick won't suck itself" and he understood not to contact me again. GF wasn't too happy with my choice of words out in the church parking lot.

Exactly !!
Why would you even consider a meet and greet in a situation that you must already feel uncomfortable with ??
Have you told your bride what may occur ??  If not, then you may be on a road you don't want to go down..................................

I'm not vested in it at all, so there's no "middle" for me to be in.




And, for the record, it is possible, I guess, that I am reading this situation wrong.  Could just be a buddy.  I tend to be skeptical and think the worst, reflexively.













Actually, Primus has been known to make mistakes.







From time to time.

       I take new friends or novice shooters shooting about once a year. I tell em up front its just them, no friends or  mothers or anyone else.  If they ask later if they can bring so-in-so, I cancel the whole affair.
