Dear Mike Cares, how would you answer this Dear Abby? *case of the loyal and sloppy

DEAR ABBY: I am a 40-plus-year-old single male. I recently started hanging out with one of my friend "Tom's" ex-girlfriends. It is now turning into more than friends. "Pam" and I both have feelings for each other. She and Tom dated for five months and broke up eight months ago. Do I owe it to Tom to ask his permission or tell him I'm seeing her? Pam has asked me to not say anything and to let him find out on his own, which will happen because we have many mutual friends. I want to respect her choice. But also, as Tom's friend, I feel the right thing to do is tell him. Please advise. I'm stuck between her wishes and doing what I think is right. -- STUCK IN THE MIDDLE IN IOWA

DEAR STUCK IN THE MIDDLE IN IOWA: Doing what is right? You sound like a bitch, are you one of Tom’s exes too?  Did Tom tickle your pickle and leave you broken hearted? You don’t owe Tom anything, nor do you need to ask his permission to bang his exes. The bro-code does not apply, you simply have feelings for some girl he stuck his tongue and cock into for five months. Don’t focus on that, focus on why she doesn’t want him to know…maybe because he still bangs her? So, the only thing you are really stuck in the middle of is his man-meat and her sloppy seconds beaver.  Good Luck and Keep in Touch! Dear Mike Cares is also on X, Instagram and Facebook (whatever they are.)
