I must wear an invisible sign on my forehead that tells all the goofy people in the world that I am ready and willing to hear their problems.
Today was no different than many other times but today just struck a nerve. Today a friend of ours that we have been friends with for over 5 years came to the house in a funk over something going on in his relationship. Sigh.
This is the relationship we tried to talk him and the girl not to get involved in. He is at least ten years older than she is, more I believe. He has 4 other children that he cannot stay current on support for. He has one ex-wife who is crazy as a loon. He is as big a difficult child as Cory if not moreso. She would never listen to us.
Now I do like the guy despite all this. He is hilarious. They have a daughter between them that I adore. This guy claims to love me to death and on some level I think he does. We are both huge football and Nascar fans and argue jokingly about those things all the time.
Well he came here today to tell me he had caught his girlfriend cheating on him. Though in the next breath he said he had been cheating on her too but had stopped a while ago! I guess that made it ok. Sigh. He supposedly caught her because she was sending texts to the guy on her phone of her privates and the guy was texting back. Ugh. Turns out it was someone who lived right down the road from them.
I suggested they talk things over but you can imagine how far that went. He wont ever be able to trust her. I said well how can she trust you? Lead balloon. No answers there. I guess honesty is a dead commidity in relationships nowadays.
I dont know what the answer is but I know they need to think about a 5 year old little girl who needs both parents. Neither can afford to raise her on their own.
