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.
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!
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.
