So sad for MM...
| Mon, 03-22-2004 - 4:20pm |
It's been such a stressful weekend. Almost didn't post this, but as always need a place to vent that's safe. MM's W has been really horrible lately. Doesn't know about me, but hates it because he spends so much time on the West Coast. She knew when she married him that he traveled 20 days a month -- sheesh -- he's been doing the same thing for 25 years and doesn't really know anything else. She has a problem with spending, so they are always on the verge of bankruptcy, no matter how much he sends home. She's been trashing him everywhere (and we work in a small, close-knit industry) so he's feeling crummy about that, and now she says she "doesn't want him to come back home." Personally, I think he's better off but I can't say that to him. It's just not my place. My heart hurts for him because I know that she's the love of his life. Truthfully, I wish *I* was (even though I have absolutely nothing I could offer him long term) so that's probably part of my problem. I've never had a 'love of my life' until him -- and I can't tell him that either. Geez -- the last thing he needs now is that kind of pressure. Stupid me... fell in love. What a mess. Just wish I knew what to tell him or how to comfort him. Just need to vent, I guess.

What could you tell him? I guess just be there to listen and be a shoulder to cry on if he needs it. I hope that everything works out for the best for him and for you. :)
Sorry for your pain. Hope this helps at least some.
