re: #238 aussiemagpie

{littleoldlady} good to see you!

I was trying to get here for fruitcup but I spent an hour on the phone with a dear friend who is still grieving for her marriage, two and a half years after her hubby decided to trade her in for a younger model

In a couple of weeks, we’re going into town for a very long lunch - and we’ll organise a limo driver to come and get us (limo driver = Mr Aussiemagpie)

Aussie, PLEASE tell your friend that you have another friend who endured the same thing. Tell her that in effect, her husband “died”—the fault is not hers but her husband’s pursuit of his own pleasure instead of his honor and commitments. Yes, it’s painful, but there isn’t anything she could have done.

Tell her that a real man wants to BE a man, not Peter Pan, and that she’s neither Tinker Bell nor Wendy.

I’m keeping her in my prayers.
