WOMEN worldwide are struggling to comprehend how two men have amicably agreed to no longer be friends with no emotional fallout whatsoever.
Tom Logan and Tom Booker, known in their local pub as ‘the Toms’, agreed their acquaintance is over now the former is moving to Portsmouth without recriminations, insults, or any lingering doubts over whether they deserved friendship at all.
Mutual friend Carolyn Ryan said: “So it’s over? Without weaponising any group chats? Without hatred or remorse? Where’s the fun in that?
“No screenshots were exchanged. No third parties were briefed with carefully edited accounts designed to secure unconditional loyalty. Neither has demanded a friend agree they’re ‘a queen who deserves better than that skank’. That can’t be healthy.
“How come their pals haven’t all taken sides? If nobody’s uninvited to a wedding or stag party because of this, was it even a friendship? Where’s the slow-burning collapse of their social group?
“The real way to end a friendship is continuing to meet up out of obligation while deploying pre-prepared, passive-aggressive remarks that technically sound supportive but are designed to sting if you’re listening properly. That’s the kind option.
“If they’d hatefully stayed mates they’d each build an arsenal of resentments to bitch about to other women, and that’s the basis of real friendship. Until you go off them.”
Logan said: “I told him ‘maybe see you around?’ He grunted noncommittally.”
