Not that I advocate taking life lessons from Kate Hudson romantic comedies, but recently I saw one that sparked discussion.
On a ladies’ day out at the cinema, a friend and I watched “Something Borrowed,” a tepid movie that was neither especially romantic nor comedic, about a girl who takes up with her friend’s fiance. We walked out after the movie chatting about who was wrong and who was, well, more wrong.
He is, I insisted. If you’re the one in the relationship, you’re the one with the responsibility to honor it.
But, my friend said: You don’t do that to your friend. Even if the friend is as annoying as any character played by Kate Hudson.
She’s got a good point. I started thinking about the codes of ethics we have when it comes to dating.
