stuck in the middle
good morning. happy thursday. so, those of you who have been reading for a while might remember MFM. if not, you can read the tiny bit i wrote about him here. anyway, the situation with his wife (who is also my friend) has progressed and they are now talking seriously about divorce. AND she is 5 months pregnant. while they both come to me with questions -- he asks for my opinions and advice all the time, and she keeps things mostly to herself. yesterday, he sent me a lengthy email listing specifics about the relationship and how he was at his rope's end with being the only one trying to make this work. she has sent him emails stating "she doesn't know why she isn't trying" and things of that nature. so, it's not like she doesn't know she isn't trying. it is the most bizarre situation. i DO NOT understand why she is donig this, other than she is not on her meds (she took Lexapro until she found out she was preggers) and is not in her right mind. i mean seriously, who would think that was a good decision? there is no infedelity, no abuse - nothing to warrant the request for a divorce, especially when there is a baby on the way. augh. people are so stupid sometimes. so, here i am -- stuck in the middle of something that is completely none of my business. i don't know every facet of their marriage, nor do i have a degree in psychology..... so i have no right to say to one or the other "this is what you should do." i hate being in the middle of it. i have enough drama in my own life --- but in all honesty, i find i am better with giving advice to other people than i am at taking my own advice. meh. if there were not a baby, things would be completely different..... i would say, take your losses and run. they haven't been happy in a year. BUT, that is not the case. i think they should suck up their pride and realize that they made a commitment to each other. UGH. people do not take marriage seriously anymore. thank jebus i have never been married. |
