Desperate Adopted (long)
So take out the cheating and the military.
H has been friends with S since high school. S was adopted as an infant and had loving wonderful parents. Early in college, S lost his mother very quickly to pancreatic cancer. He was especially close with her. Within 2 months of his mother dying he lost both a grandmother and an aunt. All unrelated issues. S ballooned to about 400lbs. He's still there today, only now he's developed diabetes, had blown out a knee multiple times and refuses to do banding or gastric bypass (because someone he knew who had GB done died - though not as a result of the GB). Did I mention that S has SEVERE depression issues and is more than likely bipolar (cycles rapidly between depression and mania.)
H dated a girl in high school, T. She's a whack job to the nth degree. I'm not going into the story but it's thought that she killed husband #1 and his mother had her denied anything and everything from the will. T was adopted by her grandparents. No idea about her parents (at least none that H and I know of). She weighs 80lbs soaking wet. Supposedly she's had him on diets, but in his usual fashion, he'll lose, plateau, give up and balloon again.
S and T dated after H and T dated in high school. Then when S was "comforting" T after the death of husband #1 they started seeing each other. These are the people who put the obituary for their ferret in the paper making it sound like it was an 8 yr old child who died.
My feeling is that they latched on to each other out of mutual desperation and longing to have someone to themselves. Even though they were well loved, they feel the rejection of adoption. I can understand that. They have also transferred this desperation into owning 13 cats and 3 ferrets. I believe with his health issues and her weight issues, children are out of the question.
It's a total trainwreck, watching these two. S has completely pulled away from all of his friends and get's upset when no one is in touch with him or anything. Before the wedding I actually had to talk to him about him being around all day as a member of the bridal party. He flipped out on me. But a week later he was supposed to be a BP member at another friend's wedding and just never showed up.
Did I mention that T refuses to work (she sells crap on ebay), S is working in middle management and hates his job, they're always broke, and anytime he wants/needs to do something without her she has panic attacks or gets sick? It's a weird cycle of fvkcery.

Obituary.for.a.FERRET?! *ded* and gone.
WTF?
These people are insane.
Then again, FI is friends with a wife abuser. And y'all know the blog I posted on FB.
Really, you don't want to get into the story of her killing her husband? Because I'd like you to get into that story, for all of our sakes.
