But now I feel like his drinking is a much bigger deal. I think he actually wanted to stop but his so-called "friends" gave him a hard time when they would go out and he would just drink water. These are the same friends who gave him a hard time when he decided to spend Thanksgiving with me instead of them. Fu@@ers! If they were really his friends they would tell him to go home to his wife instead of being pissy about not having a drinking buddy.
Hey SS...sharing with you something that I only just learned a couple of weeks ago about Dave. His best friend and I sat down and talked for the first time ever about everything that happened the past 6mos. He hasn't spoken to Dave since all this went down because as he says he got tired of the lies he was being fed.
I learned that Dave was actually playing Bryce and I against one another. He would go with Bryce and Bryce would ask if I knew that he was out with him. Dave's answer "Yeah, she knows NOW, I had to lay down the law and tell her I was going out with you whether she liked it or not." Okay...here's the interesting part, we never had any conversation remotely like that. If anything it was me who said to Dave, why don't you go over to Bryces...or if he was walking around the house acting like a miserable puke I'd say Hey, you look like you need to get out of the house, why don't you just go out. He was always wired when he needed a drink fix. Bryce, somehow started figuring out that Dave might not have been telling the truth and I now remember wondering WHY Bryce was calling me and asking if I knew they were out. Didn't make sense then...but now it does. Apparently, Dave had an issue about BEING A MAN with me. Bryce and I laughed, he was successful in for whatever reason keeping us apart. Now here we are very good friends and he's lost his best friend over all the deception.
So I wonder just how much pressure your Hs friend's are putting on him, or is he just using it as an excuse like Dave was? I never would have imagined this until I heard it from Bryce but now so much makes sense. Bryce even said that on many occassions Dave had told him Dude I gotta move out of there, gotta get my own place...but yet, at the same time we were planning on building a bigger house with HIS music room. Go figure that eh? So unless you actually hear it from the friends, don't always believe everything the H says. Boy did I learn that. I was really surprised. I asked Bryce, why do you think he went to so much trouble, wouldn't it have been nicer for us to all be able to hang out like we do know. For crimany sakes, Bryce's W works for me, LOL...strange how things work out, eh?
PS...I go out with my friends all the time and only drink water. No One has ever harrassed me in fact, quite the opposite they think they have seen me drunk, LOL...nope. I've had maybe a handful of Smirnoff Ice's in the past 4mos since I've been hanging with them.
