They don't want answers, they want you to confirm their Martyrdom. I am sorry you are going through this. Sadly this won't end well for your friend. Be here friend, but don't buy into her 'stuff.' Praying for your friend & for you. So sad that so many feel so little about themselves and about their children!Quiltingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885973879588867172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-65858691397050248652012-01-28T09:29:04.386-05:002012-01-28T09:29:04.386-05:00You're right, most of people don't want re...You're right, most of people don't want real advice, they just want you to convince them that they're right, and if she felt guilty for being angry at sick husband then, well, that's really difficult territory to be honest. There's nothing you can do now, you apologized, but, in the first place, you haven't done anything wrong, you're not the one who's in the wrong here, so no point in losing faith in everyone. Just give her even some more time (like you can do anything else...) and if thing's are still like that, then, really, it's out of your hands now. Sure it's not the most pleasant situation, but you can't apologize on and on for trying to be a good friend. If she doesn't get that, then - what can you do, really. <br /><br />And, you know, as much as I agree (still, despite everything) with Anne Frank, I also agree with House. Life's pretty messed up. Oh, and I also agree with Jasmine here - people *do* enjoy learning things the hard way...well, in the end, I think it's the only possible way to learn anything at all...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-83369699388000761962012-01-27T16:37:51.351-05:002012-01-27T16:37:51.351-05:00The worse place to be is in the middle.

Never. Does that mean we give up? Nope. We just keep on and keep on and keep on. Because, sometime/somewhere, someone will show us that there are really good folks out there.

Crazy, I say. I would so much rather watch and learn. I've had enough pain in this life and certainly don't require it to get a lesson. I believe this of you as well. But that is the exception. And I guess you thought your friend was the exception as well. Sometimes when we really love someone we only see the best in them. But this person wasn't ready for your brand of honesty. Save it for someone who is. They will appreciate what you have to offer. The key is figuring out who those people are before we interact and put our honest selves out there. I'm not always accurate with this myself, so I get it. But don't give up hope. She may yet see what you gave back to her or you may find someone else who shares your want to be so real.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-3926854457921860652012-01-27T03:23:54.087-05:002012-01-27T03:23:54.087-05:00because she has invested in her role as wife of si...because she has invested in her role as wife of sick/possibly dying man. She has invested in her role as victim. She wanted you to feel sorry for her...not push her to stand up for herself. This way she not only gets to be the victim of her marriage...she gets to be the victim in your friendship as well. That way, the next time something like this happens..you can simply say "Oh, I am sorry to hear that..what an awfult hing for him to do" because she will have taught you to not expect action from her..to not reach for something better from her. She doesn't want to take responsibility for her life..she simply wants to bitch about it. Robin, your only flaw is the assumption that people are like you. That they naturally want a better life. Some don't..some just want to wallow. Hugs. I have had the same thing happen. It's up to you whether you want to ingratiate yourself again..is it worth it to you? Is the part of your freindship tha tis good worth the knowledge of who she is.<br />Hugs to you hon.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708815560712267698noreply@blogger.com
