The Guest who stayed too long

[franklyspeaking]

I have a friend who has been here for 4 days too long.  She's a long time friend and in my whole life, I have never heard
anyone brag on themselves as much as she has.   All the old boys from our hometown are still in love with her or so she
says.  (We
had a little get-together Saturday night with some high school friends)  One of the OLD BOYS told her he had been
in love with her all these years.  The problem is that the OLD BOY'S wife is my best friend!

What in the world, besides keeping my mouth shut can I do?  I am so mad, upset, furious and just plain sad that
this man has been married to my best friend, the sweetest person on earth who has supported and loved him all
these years!!

The success is that she is leaving early in the morning.

Thinking of you, FS...not a fun position to be in. I really dislike feeling awkward and uncomfortable due to someone else's bad deeds. I'm glad it'll all be over soon! Time to turn the guest room into an exercise room or something

I know, FS, and I'm sorry if it sounded like I was joking around. It's not at all funny. A dear friend of mine has just gone through a divorce due to a similar scenario and she's crushed. My heart breaks for her. Bad enough to have it happen, worse when a so-called friend is the cause. It's really hard to watch our friends go through this. Take care.

Well, I wonder if the guy is just "going through the change" and acting like a jerk. Why not discount the garbage he is peddling? Too bad they didn't get together. Sounds like they are a matched set.

It is so easy to be "in love" with someone you don't have to live with! (Old saying i just made up.)

Wish we could all drop in tomorrow morning for a cup of coffee and celebrate her leaving.

FS, I hope your best friend leaves this guy - she's too good for him.  I'm glad she has such a great friend in you - she's going to need your support.  Hugs, Hope

Another thought: what if your house guest made it up? She sounds pretty self-absorbed.

Yippy Yo Ki Yea!

I tuoght the same thing perhaps she made it up or pumped it up.  Maybe he said years ago he felt that way and joked about it and she heard what she wanted and repeated it to you.  I had a friend that would tell me every man we met wanted her even the married ones, after a while I relaized that was her perception.  If she is really as self absorbed as the lady I knew then that maybe the case.  Some people love soap operas so much they think the whole world is one and they are the star and everyone is just dying to hear who is longing for them and all the signs that someone has a dying desire to be with them.

How true.

I bet we all know someone like that. I do.

I agree with the others, there is a good chance she made it up for her ego's sake, sounds lilke that kind of person...or, perhaps the Good Ol Boy told her he WAS in love with her in high School...that happens...but we all realize, it's just a childhood crush...and she took it to mean more...did you know, that some people think, and this is true...that if a man or woman talks to them, then they're interested...I mean, sometimes you gotta watch...I wouldn't hold to much water in what this woman says...honestly...and next time, maybe you could kindly say..."Oh, gosh, I'm very sorry but we have made plans" so she can't take advantage of you.

Hugs
