At least this isn't bad news for me personally - but it's awful for somebody I care about.
I am right now as we speak texting with one of my best friends from college. Long story short, we are commiserating about our man problems.
Today was the first I had heard - but she and her husband are having problems.
This is the second long-term friend of mine IRL to be going through this - I posted here back in Nov. about my best friend, whose husband got really stupid about money, leading to a pending divorce.
So today, friend #2 tells me that her husband has said he's no longer sure he wants to stay married.
The silver lining - I was able to open up to her about Mr. Kat's problem with Rx painkillers. And she is like you guys here on the forum: she doesn't blame me for feeling abandoned and eventually leaving.
But still.....all 3 of us? Maybe the 3 of us should do a Thelma and Louise.
Update: here is what friend #2 just said to me:
"About [Mr. Kat]--if the person is unwilling, there's nothing you can do. It's incredibly painful and sad. Though I'm no longer quite as sold on 12-step programs as the only way to recover, maybe a narc-anon or al-anon meeting would help with blaming yourself. You did nothing wrong. The fault is his alone. You did try to intervene. You did try to help."
