A Friend’s Betrayal
A man is struggling to come to terms with the fact that his best friend of over 10 years, Ian, ghosted him without explanation. They had a close relationship, discussing everything from women and children to jobs, and spent hours together helping each other solve problems. Ian knew more about the man than his own wife. However, two years ago, Ian suddenly stopped responding to texts and messages, and ignored the man’s calls.
The Wife’s Loyalty
The man has since deleted Ian from his social media and social circles, but his wife has maintained contact with him. They comment on each other’s posts and play online games together. The man is hurt that his wife has chosen to stay in touch with someone who hurt him so much. He is also worried about what Ian might say to his wife, as they have always discussed marital problems with their wives.
Seeking Advice
The man is unsure of what to do next and has sought advice. He was told that when he expressed to his wife that she was a big girl and he didn’t care if she had a relationship with Ian, she took that as permission. The man is advised to tell his wife how hurt he was when Ian ghosted him and to ask her why she is still in contact with him.
A Different Perspective
In a separate situation, a mother is struggling to forgive her daughter for abandoning her when she needed her most. The mother became seriously ill and spent time in the hospital and rehab, but her daughter told her to stay in a nursing home and give up running. When the mother refused, her daughter stormed out and hasn’t spoken to her since. The mother is now back on her feet and working full time again, but is struggling to forgive her daughter.
Moving Forward
The mother is advised to go her own way and get support from people who are capable of caring for her. It seems that the daughter lacks character and compassion, and the mother should not wait for her to come around. Instead, she should focus on her own well-being and surround herself with people who care about her.
