It's a Girl Thing.
Girls have a code. Nobody every really told us. We just know. You don't fuck with your friend's/sister's/enemy's man or ex-man unless you want trouble. It doesn't matter how many years or how much turmoil constitutes the "ex". Men may try to convince us that the code is archaic, but as girls we are bound to honor the code. Maybe I'm paranoid; maybe I'm pre-menstrual; maybe I'm just overly sensitive, but I seemed to have witnessed numerous accounts of code oblivion this weekend. My sisters and I are close..we spend a lot of time together. Jill and I are closer. We spend as much time as we can together. This is not a new thing. We were all raised together. We have functioned under the laws of the code for 20 years now. I thank you Jill for standing up for me. I don't care if I'm married 6 more times before I die. There are just some people that my sisters should not be calling for rescue. If you were to call those same people for rescue, I would be assured that there would be no previously-determined sexual agenda involved and therefore...you would not be breaking the code. I hope you feel the same about me and certain men of yesteryear. I don't think that one (or several) of us is operating under the code when they are blatantly offering conversation and media that seems to be implying that they "have" or "had" or "could have" something that rightfully belongs to another according to the girl rules. Am I right?

interesting. i don't know if guys keep the same rules. a friend of mine waited for about six months after my divorce and then tried to seduce my wife. this wouldn't have bothered me much, but maybe only because i saw that coming from some long time before and because i knew she would never bite. the problem with him was he thought the way to get to her was to badmouth me.
idiot.
he didn't realize that that bothered her. they were having dinner. she left the table and called me.
boys will trade just about anything to get into a girl. not just because they need to get laid, but they become so obsessed with the idea that they will find magic in her vagina; that the woes of life will be cured...
i don't think boys share real codes though.
i think they think all is fair.
When I actually read the "code" in writing..actual print..I'm not sure why we have it either. I know that it's not unique to my circle. I see movies about it. Hell...Jerry Springer makes a healthy living exploiting it. I think the problem is that some girls are very transparent and you can tell when they have an honest interest or when they are just trying to one-up you. Girls are catty like that.
