Thanks for your words all...

Honestly, I have tried to move onto some other friends, but for some reason all they talk about is the drama thats going on between everybody else. Maybe I need to get out of this group and make some friends that don't even know these people, but it's really hard when you are in a small town. Maybe I SHOULD just move back to Denver. I don't know...it's hard to deal with.

AMEN

Ok, since I apparently have no sane friends anymore, I am going to have to rant to all of my mingle friends! I have found out in the past few weeks that my so-called best friend is heading into depression, but he looks to other outlets for help. I would be GLAD to help since we've known each other since the third grade, but I guess he doesn't think of me as a good friend all of the sudden. His background story:

He and his wife have been together since freshman year in high school. They were married a year ago this last october, and I figured they would be happy. I guess his mother saw this coming...she never liked his wife. Anyway, I could see that they were having some kind of problem because they were constantly fighting, so much so that I couldn't stand to be in their house for more than five minutes. His wife mostly started the fights because she is the type that ALWAYS has to have the last say - she always HAS to be right. She's been spoiled by her parents from day one so she STILL thinks the world revolves around her. Mind you, she is 22 now. Anyway, they have no decided to see other people. Not just go out on a few dates, but SHE has gone out and had sex with 4 different men. I guess it was an agreement between them, but HE hasn't even tried. He keeps getting more depressed about it every day, he complains that his wife is going out and screwing other guys, and he doesn't want to waste time on the cheap hookers at the bar.

I tried to help him, I told him that he needs to talk to his wife and tell her that he is not comfortable about what is happening. He said he tried, but she just told him to grow up and stop being a "poosy". From my history of knowing her, she is manipulating him and stomping all over him to get what she wants. I know it was probably her that came up with the original idea of seeing other people. He won't come to me for help, but tells other people he is depressed. His wife found out what I think about her, and she has tried to turn this all on me. I said screw it and told her I'm glad that I'm not the one being walked all over, and she needs to stop USING her husband. Anyway, the jist of the story is - I am pissed.

On another note, I witnessed something horrible with a couple of my other friends. I was hanging out with one of my buddies this saturday at the bar, while his fiance and another one of our friends that is a girl were at another local joint. Well, the friend that was hanging with his fiance saw her take her engagement ring off of her finger and put it on her right hand. She says she LOVES it when all the guys hit on her. I feel so bad for my buddy, because he loves her unconditionally and would do anything for her. On the other hand, SHE has been known to be a compulsive liar.

UGH I don't know what to DO in these situations. I am not necessarily looking for advice, I wanted to rant a little bit, but if you have some input, please feel free.

Punch her in the face and if she cries call her a sally.
