Doug's Relationship Challenges
Six months ago, the speaker's friend Doug went through a difficult breakup with his girlfriend Abby due to his infidelity. Abby caught him liking other girls' pictures on Instagram. Surprisingly, Abby took him back after a week of begging. The speaker has witnessed changes in Doug's behavior and is unsure if they have lost respect for him. They are hesitant to hang out with Doug and Abby and want advice on addressing their feelings with Doug.
The Strange Bed Request
During the breakup period, Doug asked his straight male friends if he could sleep in their bed, which shocked and confused everyone. Although the speaker finds this request bizarre, it is not the main reason for their hesitation to hang out with Doug. They are more concerned about Doug's behavior during his relationship and feel differently about him now. They are seeking guidance on how to approach the situation.
Consider Levity and Open Communication
While the strange bed request is concerning, it does not seem to be the primary reason for the speaker's changed perspective on their friendship with Doug. They should jokingly address the request to lighten the mood but focus on the bigger concern of Doug's behavior during his relationship and their resulting loss of respect. Openly communicate their feelings with Doug, emphasizing the importance of trust and mutual respect in their friendship.
