My old neighbors and I are close. His wife will text me to see how I'm doing from time to time. I will text the both of them at the same time to say hi or just text her because he never responds. I think he is like, nigga I'm busy I know you good I hear it from the wife each time she reaches out to yo stank ass. I think each situation is different. In my case his wife thought I was the funniest MF on the planet. BUT, you do have some Mfs like this
I guess that's why some fellas on here are like
At the end of the day IMO if you gotta keep yo eye on your homeboy around ya wife or girl, is he really your boy?

Because me personally I don't care how fine one of my boys girl is that shits off limits, present and future. IDK that's why I don't have many folks in my circle I guess. If their energy is off I keep them at a distance.
