It’s a double edged sword to get into that kind of conversation when someone is complaining about their spouse as you run the risk of losing that friend, and still not being able to help them change their mind. A few years ago, right after the bomb, I caught a friend’s wife bad mouthing him on Myspace. Now, this woman had cheated on him while he was in Iraq, was pregnant and not sure of who the father was, either my friend or this other guy, and put him through hell. My friend used to call me from Iraq at work because he was so distraught. Anyway, I ripped into her. Told her how damned selfish she was, and that she should thank her lucky stars that my friend decided to stick with her, even though at that time they did not know that my friend was, thankfully, the father of the baby. I told her that she should really stop bitching about him, and basically kiss his butt.
Yeah, that didn’t work. Not only did it piss her off, but my friend de-friended me, and told me I had only made matters worse.
I don’t regret it though. They are still married, and still working out, as far as I can tell (I still talk to my friend’s sister on occasion).
Although I love Facebook, you can hop onto my thread and read my rant about it…
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
