Good but sad

My friend Tiffany called me friday night. My friend with the shitty husband that I complained about a month or so ago. She was packing up her stuff and leaving. She had finally been pushed past her limit of tolerance. When she confronted him about another night where he didn't come home and she found condoms (which they don't use because she isn't able to have children right now) and he stated..."It's an addiction, it's like if I smoked cigarettes, you need to get over it." She finally saw that he didn't care about her at all. I could hear him singing in the background as she was sobbing to me on the phone. I wanted to drive there and rip his nuts off. I didn't. He will get his someday, hopefully in the form of some nasty STD, and I don't need to spend another evening in lockdown. I am just happy that she is getting out. It still breaks my heart to hear how sad she is. I just keep thinking how much happier she will be when she realizes how much better her life is without him. For now all I can do is offer hugs, a place to lay her head, and lots of support.

  1. That's painful, but she's SO much better off. A good friend is a wonderful thing to have in times like these; I'm glad you are there for her. Hugs and someone to listen is exactly what she needs right now. Next, will be the pissed off I want to kill him phase and you'll need to be the one talking her out of murder. =)

  2. okay... while I believe sex addiction is a very real thing, I can't believe he has the fucking gall to tell her she needs to get over it!

    i'm willing a plague of boils on his dick

  3. What an asshole. I'm with Lora on this one, sex addiction may be real, but telling her she needs to get over it, ugh! When you have a problem that hurts those who love you, you are supposed to man up and get help.

    I am glad she finally worked up the nerve to leave him. She will definitley come around and realize that she made the right decision, it just takes time.

  5. Total asshole. I'm glad she left, although I know she's sad and scared. But in the end, she'll realize how much better off she is!!
