i am this friend in a few friendships, not to the physical exclusion of their wives but definitely when it comes to discussion or argument (two of them are aggy lol). one wife is grateful her wife has someone else to engage with on the topic, one wife is amused and expresses things like 'man i wish i liked football so i could get excited like y'all!' and the third basically just says 'yeah, what he said!' to everything he says...despite being a Texas grad herself 😐 but she's like that about literally everything (follows his lead on all). anyways, the last is the only one where there sometimes feels some tension, especially when specifically discussing Texas/aggy stuff (sec move, jimbo, etc). thanks to surly i'm well-versed in aggy shenanigans, but when we get into it (good-naturedly of course) there's def a sense of her 'defending her man', again despite her being a Texas grad. i've learned to just roll my eyes 🙄
your transition makes a lot more sense now, i would have done the same!
