Wow. Guys suck.

Okay, another update (and not a good one):

We took our married friend out last night because it had been her birthday earlier in the week. We went to one of those entertainment centers (where they have restaurants, shops, movie theatre, etc.). We had a nice a dinner and drinks, then she wanted to go looking around. About 3 hours into our outing, her husband pops out of nowhere! Evidently, he had been sitting in one of the bookstores the whole time we were having dinner, etc. :mad:

When he left again to go back to the bookstore, I asked my friend WHY the HECK he was there, and she said "because that's how I was able to come out with my girlfriends--as long as he could be nearby."

I said "Do you see anything wrong or strange about that?" and she goes "Well, he has social anxiety disorder so he cannot be alone by himself at home." I said "Ummm...I think he has his disorders mixed up because when you have social anxiety, you WANT to be a home by yourself!" She changed the subject really fast.

OMG! OMG! and triple OMG! :eek: is all I could think.

It was her birthday, so I left it at that, but you should have seen the looks on all of our faces. Unbelievable.

Why should you take on another person's illness and how are you to transcend in your life? It is already causing you grief.

I would be harsher than SWTX Belle. I would tell them "I am unable to tolerate your issues as such our friendships are affect. Until you are able to speak to me without dumping your problems on my lap, I will be more than happy to speak to you. Until then, I hope you achieve all your heart's dreams. Peace out..."

You are not a waste management company and even if you were, you don't have the licenses or permits to accept trash. So, why should you take it from these folks? Just asking?

what she said...

I have an update on this situation:

In October, my friend with the marriage problems was accidently copied on an email written by our other friend, in which she stated that our friend had lost her mind by staying with such a horrible husband, etc.

This event set off an actual confrontation in which all of us expressed how our friend needed to really take a look at what her life has become (a mess, controlled by her husband). To this, she responded that we just "don't know him like she does" and he's "a good man," and that we just never hear about the good side of him, and it was her fault that we only heard the bad. She also said it was her fault that they had so many problems in the marriage--that if only she would obey him more often, etc. things would be okay. (!!!!!) I told her she was brainwashed and that I was her friend, and love her, but I can't stand by and watch this any longer.

Cut to last week...

They are getting a divorce, officially, and have even told their families. My friend finally realized that she lost control of her life, and deserves to be happy. I've been thanking God each day since for opening her eyes! :)
