Yeah..alianalysis, going over it. Latest one is, I'm jealous that he has got it all laid our for him.. the mates, the career (I helped him get, in fact, was instrumental in it!) the gf, he's moving to a shared house in Jan in a party village by the beach, lots of 30 somethings live there, his mate knows everyone, is dead popular, lots of beach partiess.. GRR! Even if he wasnt with Helen, his life will be full and fun I am sure.
Wow, Ali, reading this is almost like reading my own thoughts!! Look, there is no way that a guy who is significantly depressed and using alcohol as a means to cover up pain and making a slew of avoidant / odd decisions is having a full and fun life. There is just no way--those things don't go together like that!
The MIL stuff is curious, isn't it? I'm with everyone else here, I think a note or contact back with her would be a good idea...it can't hurt, after all.
What are your plans for the upcoming week, what with Christmas and all?
