The gentleman‘s agreement

Sleeping with someone’s girlfriend behind his back, fully aware he has no clue, and soothing your guilt by inventing a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ in your head because pretending consent exists is easier than admitting you’re just doing what you want.
Bob: What’s going on with Pook? He cool with all this?
Joe: Yeah, we’ve got a gentleman’s agreement.
Bob: A gentleman’s agreement… meaning what, exactly?
Joe: We both date her. We both look out for her.
Bob: So he knows you’re sleeping with her?
Joe: Not exactly.
Bob: Then what agreement is this?
Joe: the gentleman‘s agreement is more of unspoken kind. Mostly spoken by me.
