Second roller coaster ride (part 3)

[Card29]

She obviously has issues and is either ashamed or hasn’t figured it out.

She talked since I met her about being married as long as her grandparents (both sets 60+ years). I think she's either in crisis, in denial or both. She still isn't talking to anyone in her family that would question her (which is everyone but her mom).

I can’t remember is there another man?

Not that I know of, although it wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact I'd be surprised if there wasn't. I think that's part of the reason she isn't talking to any of her family (outside of MIL) or our shared friends.

I don’t badmouth him or anything but I have no shame saying the truth.

Same here. I covered for her and made excuses when she took multiple trips to Europe this year while I was home with the baby. Said she needed the break. I haven't even pretended to cover for her for leaving. I'm also not slandering, aside from some rants to 1 or 2 close friends. But she's not my responsibility. Her actions speak for themselves.
