HEY BULLS! Would you want to be told if...

One of your good friends contacts the woman you've been seeing?

Story: So my bull is out of town 😢, the morning he left we spoke and about 10 minutes after that his friend (who I assume took him to the airport) calls me. It was early in the morning so we spoke briefly. He told me he was trying to call someone else, I said no biggie and got off the phone. Originally I thought maybe the bull put him up to the call but I couldn't figure out why so I just let it go. However this has happened 3 more times since then, 1 time I didn't answer the other 2 I did and received the same story of calling the other friend. Each time the conversation is drawn out a bit longer. It's not at all flirtatious, it mostly consists of him talking about his part of the business they (him and my bull) own together, bills and asking about my bulls return. We are all pretty cool, I've known this guy almost the entire time I've known my bull so I'm polite and friendly and then I get off the phone. On today's call I finally recommended that he remove my number from the other friends contact list (since that must be the reason he keeps "accidentally" calling me) and went so far as to give him the other friends number (the one he keeps saying he's trying to call).

But then my mind started to wonder...why the calls? Then I began to think well what if the bull found out about the calls from someone other than me. That might look a little suspect. Then again...wouldn't look odd if I go out of my way to run and report something that's really no big deal. I don't want to cause any drama or rift in their relationship over what I consider to be not a real big deal. I also must mention that we are NOT in a relationship. Currently we are mending our fences. But essentially I'm not "required" to "report" to him (if that makes sense). I just want to be sure I'm behaving with honor. So in a case like this would you want to be told? And if you weren't told and you found out, would trust be lost?

Send the Bull's friend to voicemail.
No conversation.
Nothing to report.
Nothing to incriminate yourself over.

An ex-boyfriend's friend tried to pull this stunt.
The 1st convo was the last convo.

I have never overstepped those boundaries with any of my friends' significant others.

@TB I actually agree with you and now that I've made sure he has the other friends number; voicemail is exactly where any further calls will go.

I originally answered because all of my bulls friends and business associates call me when they are either looking for my bull or something is wrong with him. Before this (back when my bull and I were together) whenever this friend would call my phone it would be because of some emergency with my bull so I kind of developed a habit of always answering this guys calls.

@KittyNitter I agree that keeping this a secret could come back to bite me in the arse but I have no idea how to tell him in a fun light hearted manner. That's the part I need to figure out...how to segway into this information without it coming off awkward...

Ugh...no advice from me here, because the whole thing is just so lame I don't think your bull would care either way - except maybe to have better insight into the potential shadiness and desperation of his friend. I just think it is so immature IF he is really trying to talk to you like this. These are high school games.

@TLS I don't think the friend is trying to talk to me in any kind of way. That's really not the question or the thing that concerned me. My question was; if my bull found out about the calls without me telling him would he think something shady was going on. I'm not sure how that concern is "high school" but ok I'll take that...

TBH I don't think the friend has any ulterior motives at all, I just would not want it to appear that way from the outside...Maybe I'm not wording myself correctly. Either way thanks for the input!
