My SO and I had been going out for about 4 months at the time Susan (Virginia's best friend) broke up with her boyfriend (Steve -- my best friend and roommate -- but that's a whole other story!) Steve was real good (platonic) friends with Virginia (are you keeping all these names straight?), and it was the same with Susan and me. The four of us had been very close and done alot of things together, so at the end of Steve and Susan's romance, things became kind of sticky. It was suddenly a threesome of Virginia and me and either Steve or Susan. Susan was feeling real upset about the breakup, and needed alot of sympathy and support. I found out that she wanted more of this from me than from Virginia. When Virginia wasn't around, she was completely different towards me. One thing led to another... Well, Virginia soon found out what was going on. It didn't bother her too awfully much, but the little three-way "dates" kind of slowed down. Susan was really a neat person, and my SO and OSO slowly changed places. I've always thought that friendship should always come before SOship, and my relationship with Susan turned out to be a real good one. Susan and Virginia drifted apart during all this, and that really bothered me. I kept in contact with Virginia, and still went out with her, but the three of us were never together. Susan and I dated for about a year, then mutually decided to go our own ways. The strange thing is, I'm still real good friends with Virginia and Steve, but Susan seems to have found a new set of friends. What's the moral of the story? I don't know, there's got to be something interesting in there... -- _____ Ron Bemis / o o \ Support Bacteria - Tektronix | \___/ | It's the only culture Redmond, OR \_____/ Some people have!
