What do you think?

A girlfriend (lets call her Tracy) tells her boyfriend (lets call him Mike) about her old friend (lets call her Cat) on how Cat hasn't treated her right many times. There have been occasions where Cat asked Tracy for her help at events and borrowing some of Tracy's clothing. Also, there have been some situations where it involves school and prospective outlook since they are so-called "best friends" and help each other out.

Tracy tells Mike about how Cat would forget about Tracy when Tracy helped out at Cat's non-profit organization event where it involved modeling, sponsors, and borrowing Tracy's dress. Cat was ordering Tracy around even though Tracy was not part of the organization and Cat had other members of the organization there. Tracy did not feel that Cat was being a "friend" from that event. Another time Cat asked to borrow a dress from Tracy, but did not state the reason so Tracy assumed that Cat was going to wear it to an event. Instead, Tracy found out that Cat lend the dress to another of Cat's friend whom Tracy did not know. The problem was that the dress did not fit Cat's friend who was bigger than the dress so it stretched a little and Tracy complained to her boyfriend about it. The thing with prospective outlook is that Cat and Tracy are considered "best friends," and they supposedly tell each other about things that should help their future. Anyways, Cat knew something about how to get into medical school with a "fast track" program where you were guaranteed a spot if you kept up with the minimum requirements, and Cat knew that Tracy was pursuing that general path, but Tracy was never told anything about it. Tracy soon found out that Cat was involved with it and got upset that Cat did not share the information on the program. This was complained to Mike. There's also been other similar small instance where this happens and Tracy complains to Mike.

Mike in turn does not like Cat because of all of this and does not want to like her. They got in a fight several times about Tracy hanging out with Cat. Two years after it still happens. Mike does not want Tracy around Cat, but Tracy insists that the friendship will not be broken and Tracy will not give up the friendship because of Mike since she knew Cat longer than Mike. Mike hates the situation and still despises Cat. Tracy and Mike still argue today about Tracy and Cat being friends.


Should Mike have to put up with Cat being around? Should Tracy make Mike like Cat? Should Mike just let it go? So what do you think about this situation? Comments please

This has nothing to do with Mike. Tracy can be friends with whoever she wants to. If she wants to be friends with Cat, then Mike needs to leave it alone. He doesn't have to like her if he doesn't want to, but he has no right to tell her who she is allowed to be friends with.

Cain and misombra's flirting aside , Cain is right.

Other things to consider:
Tracy tried to make Mike like Cat which made Mike dislike Cat more.

Mike is fine with Tracy's other friends guys and girls; just not Cat.

Mike also had some friends that Tracy doesn't want Mike to be around because they are his ex-girlfriend's cousins whom he knew before he got with that girl.

Mike should learn to put up with it. Though Mike can use a wildcard and say if Tracy is unhappy with Cat, but continues being friends with her, Mike is entitled to not hear any bitching evolving out of said friendship.

sometimes girls need to vent and they do this to their bf's or whoever is closer at the time. they can exaggerate the incident coz of their anger they are feelin’ at the time. this feeling once expressed wears off as they calm down, unfortunately mike is hearing all about it and wants to fix it, but tracy has decided after all that she needs her friend Cat. i've been thru this kind of thing myself and my friends came first, my bf's opinion didn't matter coz i had been friends with this girl since i was a teen. mikes opinion doesn't matter. this is something tracy needs to figure out on her own and the more mike points out cat's flaws the more tracy will stick up for her even after she has just vented, you see even tho she's telling mike hows she feelin' which sort of involves him, she's really not interested in him or her doing anything about it. eventually she might off her own bat, but mike cannot influence this and should not, coz mike could end up being blamed for the loss of the friendship if he gets involved. mike just needs to be a good friend and bf and let tracy vent and be understanding and give her a hug, this is not something mike can fix.

Part of being a boyfriend is listening to your girlfriend bitch and moan about petty grievances they have with their girlfriends. The best thing to do is tune out. The worst thing to do is encourage it or get involved yourself.

This third person thing is just stupid. Its an anonymous forum and that was so badly written, all I could get out of it was something about women and cats.
