A while ago ... a long while ago, I posted a thread about this issue my boyfriend had with what was a former friend of his. I called him 'Mark'. Now, I haven't talked to Mark since him and my boyfriend had their fallout. Part of it is because my boyfriend didn't want me to get even more deeply involved in their fight (I was something like a bridge between the two) and well ... quite frankly I was getting pissed by Mark's drama queen personality.

So anyways, this past weekend was the local anime convention and Mark was there. On day 2 my boyfriend and 2 of his friends went to shoot pool (I came along to watch) and we were passing by Mark while going down the escalator and my boyfriend asked him if he wanted to go play pool with them. Mark said no (he was with a girl), so we went to the pool place and since all the tables were full we were playing in the arcade while waiting for one to become available. A few minutes later, Mark shows up with the girl I saw him with.

Our name gets called so we go to the table and while one of his friends goes looking for a triangle and the other gets a drink, my boyfriend comes up to me and says "You know what pisses me off? I invited Mark to come along and he says no and where the fuck does he turn up? Here" I told him not to let it bother him too much, but it did anyways for most of the night.

Honestly, I don't know if anything happened between the two of them since their fallout, but Mark still considers me as something of a friend. Mark also hangs out with some of my boyfriend's friends at school too so I don't actually know if they interact much there.

Now, here's the thing. I really don't know if I should approach Mark about this. Say, ask him what's going on with my boyfriend. At the same time, I don't really want to reopen any lines of communication with Mark. I have trust issues with him because he's lied to me and he's also talked shit about my boyfriend to me as well. It seems my boyfriend still kind of hopes to repair things and a little nudge from me in the right direction could help but ... I honestly don't want him to be friends with Mark. At all.

So my question is ... should I talk to Mark and try to attempt to repair things between the two of them or should I just leave it already? Or am I perhaps reading into this a bit too much?

Me and Mark were fairly good friends. Both me and my boyfriend were pretty good friends with him actually. The three of us use to hang out quite a bit ... then my boyfriend got busy and didn't have much time to hang out.

@ other responses: I read Patrick's reply this morning and the first thing that came to mind was the fact that I can't really talk to my boyfriend about this because during their fight I was stuck in the middle and he doesn't want me to get involved like that again. He feels it causes unnecessary stress for me) so I was thinking I should probably just let it go :X so I may have my answer lol

Well, my boyfriend knows I'm still somewhat friends with Mark. I say somewhat because I got really frustrated with Mark. He's bsed a few things to get me angry or upset at my boyfriend a few times in the past. My boyfriend was pretty hurt when he learned that Mark was doing that behind his back. Also, for a while after their fallout I was trying to continue to be a good friend to Mark but if he wasn't bsing about my boyfriend he was complaining about how being single sucked and I got fed up with that. Me and him still talk sort of ... when I go to my boyfriend's school and he's not around Mark will talk to me. He'll say hi to me usually too whenever he sees me but if I'm with my boyfriend they both kind of ignore each other.

I do want to talk to Mark to at least ask about what was up at the convention but he's probably going to get really defensive about it. Now's probably a good time too because he has a girlfriend. If I approach him when he's single I just end up hearing him whine about the woes of being a single man.
