My friend (the same friend I mentioned the other day that wants to set me up with her friend) has yet again come to me for advice, and while I don't mind giving advice, she asks about the stuff that I have very little experience in - relationships. My "love life" (if you can even call it that) has always been pretty crappy, I have very little luck with that sort of that, and even less practical experience to apply to it, and logic doesn't always just
work in those situations. She, on the other hand, has been married for six years, and has had all around pretty good relationships before that. So why come to someone who can't really very well relate to the situation? I know what I tell her sounds good in theory, but it's not always the best or easiest thing to do.
And it doesn't help that I dislike her husband. (And that is probably the understatement of the decade, right there. The words I have for that guy aren't suitable for a PG-13 forum.)
The only thing I really have going in my favor here is that I'm stubborn and strong-willed, and would never let a guy (or anyone, really) talk to me the way he talks to her. And so I tell her what I would do in that situation. But again, not always practical.
But I think she's finally realizing how unhappy she is, so this may turn out to be a good thing. (Or it may just go like it has every other time; she'll get scared of leaving him and disappointing her parents - who don't know the full story, otherwise they'd most likely kill him and nobody would ever find the body - and decide to give him another chance.)
