mortensorchid Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I have a friend of mine who I had not talked to in a long time. We finally chatted the other night, and he told me some news that floored me. He and I have been friends for many years, during that time his gf was a source of contention. She is alright, in the time that she and I have interacted she has always been chatty and friendly with me. However, my friendship with her bf has always been a source of tension with her. She accused him on more than one occasion of his cheating on her with me, I assure you NOTHING of the kind has gone on between me and him. We've just been platonic friends the whole time. She (who I will call Jane) has not been a very good girlfriend to my friend (who I will call Ken). There was a time that she was going to a community college to get her license to be a dental hygenist, but she quit before taking the final exams. Ken tried to encourage her to do a lot of things for entertainment or other career options than working at the fish counter at a local grocery store. She would try them and fail, or decided she didn't want to do them to begin with. In 06 she said she was leaving, walked out for six weeks, then came back. In 07 she said she was leaving again, and this time it was for good. She moved out (actually with all her stuff this time), and left Ken for some guy she had been seeing behind his back at the fish market. He was sad, naturally, but I assured him that life would go on. And it did. Then, about two years ago, she called him after three years of silence. She had left him for the guy at the fish market, they moved in together, and it was complete and utter disaster. It ended with his cheating on her several times, alcohol abuse, etc. She went back to Ken because he is responsible, boring and safe, aka The Nice Guy. I did not know what to think about her calling him, I knew at least they were talking to one another. This week, she is moving back in with him. Nothing but disaster will unfold, but I am keeping my mouth shut on this. I see nothing but another disaster to unfold, because she wants to get married and have children and Ken either does not or is not ready for it. At least, he is not with her and won't with her. I wish he wasn't doing this ...

Titanwolf Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I guess not everyone is born with a spinal column. You only live once, if it were my friend, I'd sit them both down and tell them exactly what I think. There's no way I'd let my friend ruin their lives like that. That's just me though.
