I want to say a HUGE Thank You to everyone who commented on yesterday’s blog.
My friend is really struggling with the whole situation. A few developments have happened throughout the day….
I think at this point deep in his soul he knows that this isn’t going to work out well.
I think he’s just hoping that she’ll come out and say “I can’t do this” but we’re wondering will that day be coming?
I think he’s going to see her tomorrow so it will be interesting to see if she answers any questions or gives him anything to make this situation better. Or will she act like nothing is amiss?
My friend hasn’t been able to get online to see all of the comments, but I’ve read him some of them.
He very much appreciates that every one of you who commented took the time to do so.
Thank you again.

What’s everyone doing this weekend?
Once again…Good luck to your friend!
This weekend Joe’s parents are taking the boys. So Joe and I have a couple days to ourselves. We want to go to the TX Hill Country. What sucks is we have not made reservations yet as we had to wait to see if Joe’s pass was approved. I looked online last night at all the B&Bs, cottages, and cabins we were interested in and they are all booked! They had fireplace, 2 person jacuzzi, and was only a block from main street in Fredericksburg. I was very much looking forward to this weekend as life has been taking a dump on us lately. So I am kinda disappoionted. Hopefully we will find something nice and fun to do!
What are you doing this weekend?
Thanks Lisa, I’m sure he’ll muddle through somehow….
Maybe try calling the places to see if they’ve had a cancellation?
I’m not sure what I’m doing this weekend yet.
Might go out for a drink for a friend’s birthday on Friday night if I can.
I just heard some bad news. Shane Leone has died 😦
I saw that on another friend’s page. I didn’t know him, but it is still sad! Do you know what the cause was? His family will be in my prayers.
Whatever you do this weekend, enjoy!
im not dead who said i died i was searching my name in google and seen this
Well Shane, I don’t know why it brought you to this particular blog, but FYI – you are NOT the only Shane Leone to ever walk the earth….
My close friend Shane Leone DID pass away. You can read his obituary here: https://dozenroses13.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/r-i-p-my-kind-friend-shane-anthony-leone-is-now-flying-with-the-angels/
His sister posted up that it was a brief battle with cancer. I knew he had cancer back in school. I saw him about a year ago and he was fine. I knew he had been sick back around the holidays but he never elaborated how sick and I didn’t want to pry. Now I kind of wish I had….
He was a very very kind person.
I’ll probably put up a post about him as soon as the obituaries are available later this morning.
Good luck to your friend. This is never easy. Maybe he needs to be the one to say, “This isn’t going to work” for her?
This weekend I have a bday thing on Friday for a friend, am teaching early on Saturday and then going home for my neice’s birthday party and drinks with a friend to catch up.
You guys?
Thanks!
I think it’s going to come down to him ending it, I’m just hoping she will beat him to it! It will make it easier on him emotionally.
I’m not really sure what we’re doing this weekend yet. My friend’s wake (see my next blog) is on Sunday night so we might go down to my parent’s and stay the night to go to the funeral on Monday.
What bothers me is that you blogged about all these dealbreakers and then mentioned that there are other unmentioned things. I’m seriously wondering what answers he could possibly get from her that make this all better, because I can’t think of anything that would make good on her behavior or prove she’s truly into him. Honestly, at this point, it sounds like he’s just looking for an excuse to justify the relationship in his own mind, because people who act this way don’t change easily, and certainly not from Q&A. I hope your friend is strong enough to pull away from this bad scene and not give in to whatever small rewards he may get for putting up with more than his fair share of grief. Living martyrs are never celebrated.
I hear what you’re saying.
My friend is just hung up on the fact that when he’s with her not dealing with all this other stuff things are wonderful with her. My friend is not one to care easily and this girl has him under some sort of “spell.”
He’s going up to see her today, so we’ll see what happens…. I have heard from him since he got there telling me he’d catch up with me later. Funny, he can make the time to send texts with no problem…. LOL!
I think he’s looking to justify things, but also almost waiting for something blatantly in his face that says “SHE’S LYING” to push him over the edge. I told him that it might not come. I asked him to start finding ways to take her into public and see if she can behave or not.
I hope he is strong enough to move on from this with no regrets. Trust me, he can find the rewards elsewhere. I know he can, I’m just not sure he realizes it….
Thanks Bill!
