The Girlfriend Codes: Rules To Never Break With Your Girlfriends

November 29th, 2011 - By Erica Renee

While recently watching the movie Something Borrowed starring Kate Hudson, I couldn’t help but to watch in awe as one friend secretly dated her best friend’s fiancé behind her back. While I get the writers’ point of attempting to make a romantic chick flick (and in their defense it was actually a cute movie), I immediately knew that the two writers of the movie weren’t aware, or didn’t care, about the girlfriend codes.

While one of my friends suggested that the characters in the film, and presumably the writers, lacked a bit of melanin to their skin that might possibly excuse them from understanding the codes, I was still shocked that any close friend, no matter what color or ethnic background, would find it acceptable to date a friend’s fiancé and automatically expect forgiveness from her hurt homie. Sure, you may have once had a thing for the guy, but that’s HER man!

The girlfriend codes, although unspoken, are those ultimate no-no’s and the most important musts that are required amongst girlfriends; and while each friendship has its own custom set of unspoken rules, most girls would agree on these six specific codes.

    I think these are obvious codes that we as decent friends/women just know never to break.

    This is the best explanation of codes. I have this one friend who pushes her “ex-lovers” off on her other friends. I’ve tried to explain to her a million times friends do next an ex. Whether he used u or not. Especially if you’re his booty call.

    I need to print these up for my friend (I guess she’s just an associate now).  She 1) Flakes on us every time she gets a new man 2) tried to leave me at one hotel in Vegas to kick it with another crew at my Bachelorette party when she was the driver (my husbands friend stopped her) and so much more.  I understand being in a new relationship & having a life of you own but find a better balance for it all.

    I don’t have many female friends but the ones that I do have, I value tremendously. With that said I can’t say that I agree with these rules. You should absolutely be loyal to your friends but ultimately, you have to do what’s best for you. I’m not saying to cancel plans or be a backstabber. I’m saying woman have to prioritize. A real friend will be there through it all and knows how to let go of the little things that can ruin relationships.
