Hey

[Mystery Man]

Up and down right now.

Can't eat or sleep consistently right now.

Pretty continous case of nausea.

Just generally sad and hurting.

I know everything will work out OK in the end, just hurt and betrayed and upset at the moment.

When I was having serious marriage problems (still married though) I went out and bought an X-Box. I felt a little better.

How can you stop someone who isn't thinking straight from making perhaps the stupidest mistake of their life?

Not much you can do, when folks get their mind set on things like that spouses/friends/family trying to talk them out of it just tend to push them further.

Let her know you disagree with her decision but that you still love her and will be there if she needs you.

If you can get her into counseling of some type that might help.

My wife's family are all telling her that she needs to come home and work things out, that just makes her more stubborn on the issue...and she blames me for turning her family "against her" to boot! *sigh*

I'm to paranoid about money right now to get on a spending spree. lol

However I have been keeping busy, and am hitting the gym again pretty hard.

Staying busy and being around other people is by far the best medicine.

Hm. That sounds oddly familiar. Thing is, if she wasn't screwing up so badly (my wife) then her family wouldn't have been "against her". The paranoia wore off though eventually and she came around. Perhaps it will be so for you as well.

I'm not betting on it at this point.

In the past two weeks she has gone to staying the night at a "friends" to "needing some time to herself" to "I'm not sure what I want" to "I'll stop by later this week to pick up the rest of my stuff".

It has been quite the downward roller coaster.

Listening to "Lollie Pop" from the Dixie Cups.

Woohoo.

That's good. We're with you, man. I hope things get better soon.

I appreciate the thoughts.

I hope they get better as well, but not getting my hopes up.

It's going to take awhile to get past all of us, not to mention still being concerned about her and her welfare.

Yeah I'm not real thrilled about it either, but not a damn thing I can do.

Don't give up. But you can explore other options and see what's out there....

Who knows.... a few months down the road, she may change her mind. Ya never know....

 

[Darth K'Trava]

My sister is being retarded right now. She thinks she's going to be happy by throwing her marriage away for another man who cheated on his own wife to be with her. I'm so shocked and dismayed at her behavior I want to shake her. How can you stop someone who isn't thinking straight from making perhaps the stupidest mistake of their life?

I doubt you can.... sometimes people, even those you love, need to learn the hard way... She's being stupid but there's no way you can tell her that, without making a big fuss out of it. And she'd be moreso wanting to go for Mr. Cheat after that.

Far, far too soon for that.
