We were working together in a different state; he kept talking about this girl we worked with; we got drunk at her place- some of us (me) drunker than others; he gave me a ride back to the house we were renting and then went back to the party; I was convinced he was gonna sleep with the girl, and was infuriated he’d do that to his lovely wife and their daughter; I got my pistol and was gonna shoot him when he got home; I was too drunk to chamber a round; our other roommate was there and wrestled the gun away from me.
It’s an insane bit of logic. “In order to keep you from ruining your marriage, I’m going to kill you.”
His wife ended up sleeping with her boss a few years later, too, so. 🤷♂️
There needs to be more context to this story.

If you don’t cheat on them they cheat on you
“I can’t let you ruin your life, so I will ruin both of us for you, buddy!”
Exactly, lol. That’s noble, right?
Whoever said chivalry is dead never heard this story.
I just woke up so I can’t formulate it, but there’s some joke about chivalry having an extramarital affair in my presence.
😂 you’ll get there buddy. Let me know when it forms properly.
Sorry to break it to you, but you’re gay.
Trust me, been there and it wasn’t for me.
I think in terms of thought process, we probably have all the context available…
“You think I’m going to just let you ruin your marriage? You’re my best friend. I’ll kill you you stupid bastard.”
Men, don’t settle for a best friend who won’t threaten to kill you.
Also maybe make sure there’s a second friend nearby at all times.
That’s it… That’s all the context there is…
I posted the full story in another comment, but that is the jist of it
