Friends that you had to let go.

Sadly yes, I have had to move on from a few. One was a good friend I had known for a number of years, and then he got married. Tried to adjust to the change and incorporated some couples activities, but his wife had to be in control all the time and was devious. On more than one occasion my friend and I had known plans to do something like go shooting or go racing, and as we were leaving her relatives arrive, as invited by her, and now all of sudden we're all going to lunch, and afterward "you boys can go do your thing." Not clueless, just in charge. My friend would apologize, but always go her way. There was no point in complaining about his wife's tricks, I had to let him go.
I had a buddy like this. His wife was stupid dominant. When I’d visit, if he did something to displease her, which was a lot, very often, sometimes several time a night on the most pathetic things, she would ***** and belittle. She started to use me in a third party sense. “Why can’t you be a man like Rob, why can’t you make money like Rob, Robs sooooo cool, WFT happen with you?

I had enough and pulled her to the side and said it only once, “Don’t ever use me as an example again.”
So it was, never again.

Being such an Alfa female and having to be number one in everyone, she started in with me. She is crafty with her words and started to learn how to twist them and the subject matter around. I pulled my friend to the side and confronted him making damn sure he understood that ONLY because she was his wife, she is t getting a verbal hammering by me but it’s about to come to an end. He just was simply a coward.

Finally, I got mad because she got personal and started in on my marriage (which was perfect and still is awesomely great) where I turned around and told her that she had better be real careful on the next words coming out of her mouth because of her being incredibly offensive, that she is now standing on ground men don’t travel unless there looking for a fist fight and I don’t have a problem laying her the F out.

It was a good end to my vacation.
