A couple navigates a breakup within their friendship circle, where differing loyalties emerge. The author sympathizes with the woman cheated on, advocating for a clear stance against infidelity, while their partner, Brody, wants to avoid choosing sides. This leads to tension regarding an upcoming birthday party, where Brody insists on inviting both the cheater and the victim. The author is frustrated by Brody's reluctance to confront toxic behavior, noting that he normally aligns with progressive views.
I always say a friend to all is a friend to none, and by trying to be impartial he is actually showing where his sympathies lie.
I'm disappointed because I didn't think that Brody was that much of a sheep... He is morphing into one of those bros who doesn't challenge toxic male behaviour.
