Reasoning with an angry boyfriend...

[Oisterman]

I'm usually on the receiving end of the terrible cheating girlfriend equation, but this time I'm accidentally on the other side.

So, I'm gonna really really tl;dr this because its a mess and is far too much to type.

tl;dr - Didn't know girl A had a boyfriend. I had no interest in girl A. Shes pretty, but dumb as a rock and just completely not my type. Girl A is also known for being a bit...mmmm..."lax" in her morals. So as a man who can only take so much, some things happened. I'm now in a position where I'll probably never see girl A again unless I accidentally run into her at a grocery store. She was working nearby me but got a different job and is gone. Whatever, I figure I dodged that bullet anyway.

So, a week later I get a buttload of threatening emails from her stupid boyfriend. Fear is not the issue here, hes a tiny man and my safety is my last concern. I tried explaining to him rationally that it wasn't my fault. I had no idea she was in a relationship, and casually mentioned I wasn't the first, and probably wouldn't be the last. I left it at that, and have gotten a few more nasty messages.

All I can do is ignore it, right? I know the guy somewhat, and hes not the type to hunt me down. I think his pride is hurt and he just needed to make some empty threats. I'd like to calm him down, but I doubt there is anything I can say to him. If anyone here knows a good way to deal with this, I'd really appreciate some help.

As good as your intentions are I would guess that you're the last, if not second to last person he would want to hear it from. I would just leave it be but maybe you can come up with some kind of sitcom type plan? With disguises and stuff? Then end with your catch-phrase?

Sorry, I really don't have any ideas.

As serious as this discussion is, tell me I'm not the only one who chuckled with the image that Oister cheated on his boyfriend after reading that line.

That said anyone who goes through Facebook to prove they're a tough guy probably was the catalyst to this girl looking elsewhere.

Hahaha it does kinda sound that way.

You did the right thing all you can do is talk to him if he's too stupid to see that his girlfriend is a tramp that's not your problem. It's funny how he gets mad at you and not the girl since she's the one who cheated it's amazing how dumb people can be at times.

I legit thought this thread was going to be Oister coming out of the closet.
