>>57165I routinely go through my friendslist on facebook and delete people that I no longer actually want to keep in touch with, but I can never cut out two old highschool classmates even though I haven't seen them IRL for years.
One of them, let's call her Anita, is always falling in and out of love. Anita loves a man until he's hers and then she seems to hold him in contempt.
To give you a very small idea of how she operates: she's vivacious, flirty, fun, and seemingly loving. I think she does think she's in love with someone, but she just gets bored incredibly easily. She used to be able to have her pick of men and she always made sure her then-boyfriend knew it. Back in undergrad we were going out to eat lunch with her new crush and another female friend, but oops, she doesn't have any money! No problem, though, Anita calls her boyfriend and tells him she needs money for lunch. Not five minutes later, he comes bursting through the door, panting and out of breath, having apparently run all the way across campus. She pauses in her story to us, looks Boyfriend up and down, eyes narrowed, he gives her some cash, all she says is Thanks and completely turns her back on him to continue her story to us and ignoring him starts walking away. Felt so bad for that guy–he was so whipped.
She's gone through three husbands in the past seven years.
Husband number one was straight out of high school after she got pregnant with his baby. Reliable rumor is that his parents paid for an abortion since they didn't want the young couple to be burdened as they started out (real reason being that they didn't want a mixed race grandbaby). Husband was really torn up about it and couldn't trust her anymore–their marriage only lasted about a year.
Husband number two was a complete asshole. I mean, she's no peach, but this guy was a real piece of work. They would publicly fight on their facebook walls, air all their dirty laundry, and then go back and delete it all when the fight was "over" and talk about how much they loved each other, best husband/wife ever, etc. I honestly think this guy was an abusive asshole–he broke two of her laptops and five phones during their relationship along with their infant son's leg when he was changing the baby's diaper–apparently the child squirmed and somehow it just happened cuz it's totally normal for a healthy child's leg to break during diaper changes. Lots and lots of drama and she had a second kid with him.
She's now on husband three. There's baby daddy drama and baby mama drama since her husband also has a kid from a previous relationship plus they each have wandering eyes.
Tame stuff altogether, but I grew up with this girl–we were in school together since elementary school–and her life gives me comfort: I may not have all my shit together, but at least I'm not her!
