So many years ago, before Leon, I had a boyfriend, seemingly nice young man, whom my family and I invested a lot of time and money, sparing to many details. After many moons and sunrises, he decides that he no longer thinks I'm good enough. Shattered as I was, I refrained from talking badly about him to anyone. He was mentally abusive towards in during the relationship and i thought, the less i need to think or talk about him the better.
The only down side was that i have made good friends with his sister. I'd been at her first baby shower, taken her to hospital when she was in labour and tried after the break up not to come between her and her brother. So for the last 7yrs I've had a good friend.
This last year he gets married. I'm happy for him and for his new bride. Devastated when i hear that after only a few months things had gone wrong and they parted.
The now ex-wife contacts me. We start chatting. She opens up and he had done the same things to her that he'd done to me. The only difference was that she still loved him. So i encouraged her to talk to him. To tell him. To go back.
Failing that i just listened. After a few weeks. their divorce final. I'm chatting to him and his found out that the 2 of us are friendly. Goes mental at me on the phone. Calling me names and I think to myself, WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS!
He doesn't listen to my side and only hears what he wants to. So i removed his details and told him so. That didn't help either. SO after a few mean sms's its all over.
NOW that's not the end of the story. The story ends where my friend no longer talks to me.
THAT hurts. I'm not going to explain myself. There isn't much to explain. I didn't cause the faults in the relationship, they did that on their own. Why should I be punished for making a new friend?
Thankfully my photography is going like a Boeing (oops, not the best line, seems that the planes are a bit mental at CT airport at the moment!)
Gemma's speech is also flying at a mental rate now! VERY cute.
Leon's being a very supportive husband lately. THANKS BABES ( ja Jaco and Otto, you can rip him off)
