Re: Emotional Vampires
I have a friend who used to be a good friend. I still consider her a friend, but honestly, I make excuses most of the time not to get together with her.
The problem is that she caught her husband emailing back and forth with her best friend. She did not catch them in the act of adultery and adultery was never brought up in the emails. But the emails were more intimate than they should have been. Since her husband had cheated on her before and since her best friend had cheated on her husband twice before, my friend assumed that was what was going on. It has still never been proven.
So she asked him to leave. But she's a Christian and he is not, she didn't feel like she could divorce him (does anyone here understand that? not me!) Anyhow he finally decided to go ahead with it. So now the divorce is finally over.
And I'm thinking, good. We can get back to normal. So I went to lunch with her on Sunday. Oh my goodness! It was DRAINING! All we talked about was #1 her 'date' the night before that she didn't really want to have as a date, but ended up that way against her will (??) and
#2 her divorce - AGAIN!
I know that some people on here are divorced. Please assure me that this will not go on forever with her! What can I do to help her move on? Or should I just follow Rhoni's advice and set boundaries?
