To give you some background information. I've known my friend since we were 12. I met my husband through her, they where close friends through college. They now work at the same law firm. Something that has always been at the back of my mind is that she had a thing for him when they where in college. She never told me about it but she told other people and I knew. I also thought that he reciprocated those feelings towards her at the time, but she never actually did anything about it, so I considered him fair game. After he and I started dating my relationship with her started to drift. I think part of it was that she was upset with me for starting a relationship with the guy she liked and me wanting to keep him away from her. She went away for law school, my husband stayed at the same school. We got married during his last year. She moved back here and she and I became close friends again. She now works with my husband at the same firm. I know that they're friends although not as close as they once were, but the thing that bother's me the most is that when all 3 of us are together they barely even talk to each other. They'll have a quick chat about work, they rarely ever even joke around which is why this conversation bothered me so much. They're bantering back and forth and neither of them acts this way when they're around me.

Why are u online ON YOUR BIRTHDAY….at night!! Shouldn't u be having hot birthday sex right about..........now! Do I have to call my girl and tell her to get to work!
I'm just kidding, but really, why are you online? Is the party even over yet! Please get offline. I'm stuck in the office slaving and prepping for court tomorrow and your being online is literally making me depressed. You better NOT be working because that’s just sick! =D
(My husband)
No, the party isn’t over yet. The inlaws are here. I’m sure you know what that means.
(Her)
I forgot they were there!! No alcohol allowed?!?!?
(My husband)
Yes, no alcohol at my own party, in my own house.………….
(Her)
I remember those days. One time Shayna and I spiked her mom’s drink at their Christmas party! Her mom was a hilarious drunk she even started doing the Irish jig!!
(My husband)
I don’t believe you.
(Her)
Honest! Of course Shayna was grounded pretty much for life and that was the last time I was allowed into the Donnelly residence until after High School!! They even called my mom and dad. I got a stern “talking to”, but my parents thought it was pretty funny as well. Just close your eyes and imagine her mom doing the Irish jig. Pretty priceless for a stern woman who looks like she carries around a ruler in her purse to hit people with!
(My husband)
That actually is pretty damn funny! In fact, it’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day……
(Her)
Geez, perk up birthday boy. I know some fun people who are there right now. All who always have some crazy shenanigans up their sleeves, so get to work
(My husband)
They’re all boreder than I am. You should come and spike some drinks. Hell, I’d give you $50 right now to come and spike her drink again. It would be the best birthday present yet.
(Her)
Mr. Hot Shot attorney, " boreder" aint’ na' word!!!! ( Are you sure you haven’t been drinking) and I’m worth a lot more than $50 sir. Hence why I’m still here in the O$$ice! Plus, I think your wife would kill me if I did that and I value my life. =D
(My husband)
You’re absolutely right. What was I thinking. How about $500. The good thing about it being your birthday is that you get to make up new words! No, she'd probably just kill me.
(Her)
Haha! Now that’s more like it. My answer is still no, but If I did it I’d do it for free. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking money from the birthday boy. However, I may almost be done here and if you get the OK from Shay I would so do it. As long as I’m sure that I would be leaving with all of my limbs still attached!!!!
(My husband)
That’s not going to happen. Her mom was already going on about something this morning. I doubt she would say yes to that.
(Her)
It’s your birthday she has to say yes. You want me to ask Shay. I can convince with some old school memories!!! LOL
(My husband)
No, it’s alright. You're still going to come, right?
(Her)
I'll try! but it doesn't look like I'm getting out of here 4 at least a couple of hours...
(My husband)
I’ll think of something to do that doesn’t involve my in laws giving me the "look" for the rest of my married life.
(Her)
Get some people to streak across your backyard ….naked!! It’ll be the topic of conversation or have someone call some strippers and when they show up pretend to have no idea where they came from, tell them they have the wrong address. Actually, you probably don’t want to piss off a stripper. Sorry, u know me I can throw an insane house party or an exclusive dinner party right down to the
finest bottle of wine and the perfect light setting, but I’m not so good with differentiating the in betweens. Now I have to get back to work so I don't get my *** kicked in the courtroom tomorrow!
(My husband)
Do you realize that all of your ideas involve alcohol and naked people! I see some things never change. You are constantly saying that you’re going to get your *** kicked yet you end up leaving everyone floored. You really don’t give yourself enough credit.
(Her)
So….I’m sort of a weirdo. I consider naked people and alcohol a fine source of entertainment! Nothing new here!! Thanks, but I'm not thaaat good.........at least not yet! Besides, you're always supposed to say that you're going to get your *** kicked( even when u know u won't) so that when u actually do lose it isn't so bad. Now get off the computer and go have some fun kid. I love you guys ,wish I could have been there( but you know how it is!). Happy Birthdaaay!!!!!!
(My husband)
Thanks, I'll try. We love you too. Have a good night Cass and try to get out of the "O$$ice” before the sun comes up!
(Her)
You got it
Neither of them told me that they had even talked to each other.
