Yeah, bros before hoes is ridiculous. It should go more along the lines towards of "bro loyalty." Afterall we choose and stand by our friends and in that way we're like BROTHERS.

I don't think the 'bros before ho's' thing is ridiculous at all. Everyone needs time away from their significant other. There's spending time together, then there's living together. Bros before ho's is just like chicks before dicks... guys dont stop us from having lady's nights, why should we stop them from hanging out with the guys?

Seriously though, don't forget about the friend, but keep in mind that he may not want to see you with her. Spend time with him, without her. And if he keeps being pouty, talk to him about it.

Look, one thing must be said. girls can come and go. I've seen it. I've even turned my back on friends only to see them there when the girl leaves. Of course now I do make a point to never toss aside so casually the friedns who stood by me. This is my straight out opinion. If your friend has a problem with it, he should say. If he says it's okay, then you need to seriously sit down and talk to him. Make it clear that if he says that he has a problem, that you'll back off. If he says that it's okay again, then go for it. That way, you are clearly giving him a chance to speak up about it. If he chooses not to, then so be it. I don't think that you should be expected to read his thoughts and then make a decision. He should be mature enough to speak what is on his mind. IF he does say that he has a problem with it...then back off. That would be a seriously messed up thing to do. If he says it's okay, then by all means, go for it. Just don't bring up the relationship with him too much. Separate the friendship and the relationship as much as you can. My advice is to confront him a final time. Tell him that you are getting the feeling that he disapproves, despite the fact that he says it's fine. Tell him that you you really care about what he thinks and that it really would bother you if he dispproved of the relationship without telling you. Make sure he knows that whatever response he gives will help make your decision. Then, he should display the maturity to tell you what is really on his mind.
