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.
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
Yeah, no.
Fuck that guy. I don't have the time for drama from people I don't know. |
|
Take him shooting, it might be quality entertainment on many levels.
Oh and we will need pics. |

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

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.

You should bring paper plates. Or maybe some imitation crab meat. You never know.

Well, be sure and take pics, so we can judge how stupid the guy is or isn't
|
|
if they are getting divorced amically and drama free whats the big deal. Some people are better off going their own ways. anyways i would not care if he brought his GF. your just going shooting not clubbing
|
|
Have him bring the friend if for no other reason than the lols.
Like you said, your not close. Judge his new GF against his X. |
|
|
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. |

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. |

Have you told your bride what may occur ?? If not, then you may be on a road you don't want to go down.................................. |

View Quote 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. |

But then again he is bringing a friend. |

I'd just say "hey...this is me and you going shooting...not comfortable with anyone else coming along"...
|

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. I'm a celebrity dick like that at my private range. |

Do it! So many excellent directions it could go. None could make you look bad since you actually didn't know he was bringing a chick, if thats who he actually brings.

If you weren't visiting with his future ex wife I don't see an issue, you're not part of the equation.
