Duuuuuude! (sad)

I believe I mentioned a few months ago that a friend of mine decided to quit her crummy job that had been making her miserable and hike the entire Appalachian Trail by herself before getting another job. Her husband stayed behind in Brooklyn and visited her periodically at various checkpoints in her trip over the course of the summer. I just noticed on his FB page that his status says "separated". So sad! We knew they were having issues because he broght it up to DH while he was helping us load our truck on moving day, but didn't really think it was this serious. I don't have all the details (will discuss further on Thursday with BFF who is very close with them), but it likely has something to do with the fact that she wants to get out of NYC badly and he is afraid to leave since he was born and raised there. They are the sweetest couple and I can't imagine them not making it work!

  • That is too bad.  I hope, whatever the end result, is the best for the both of them.

    It definitely puts a film of reality onto our month long "we're happy because we've celebrated a year of marriage" during October.  You know?

    Right??!?! My first marriage lasted a year ("Shotgun!")

    My second seemed strong enough, until the moment I knew it wasn't. 

    What I learned from those? Be yourself, and help your husband to be his self too. Trying to be anything else just won't work. Never, ever take each other for granted and most of all, laugh. 

  • I hope that this don't sound heartless because I would be devistated if something like that happend to me or one of my friends (or you guys!) but sometimes people split up for good reasons and if they think it's what's best for them then is better to do that then be full of regret for sticking with something just because it's what's comfortable and what's easy. The reason I say this is because my sister is going through something similar, not that she was married but she's been in a relationship for a little over 3 years and she's realizing now that he's not the man she thought he was and has decided she needs to not nessicarily make them happy but make herself happy and sometimes that's something you need to do on your own.

  • Witchy- agreed. My second husband and I were together for 8 years, and it wasn't until we had some time apart that I came to realize how wrong we were for one another.  When it was time to go, I quietly packed up, and left. I certainly wish him well, and dealing with the change to my perceived future was a shock, but I have never looked back. When it it time to go, you go.

    Obviously, there's more to that story (there always is) but if leaving is what's best for your sister, i wish her peace. 

  • Bummer!  It's hard watching friends go through separations, especially when you're friends with both sides. 

    But like PP's mentioned, maybe it's for the best.  T's and P's that they both find happiness. 

  • I always hate seeing things like this! It always makes me sad when people you think are so great together hit rough patches/break things off (but then again...we never really know what happens behind closed doors). Perhaps she did some serious soul searching during her trek?

    T&P that things work out for them, whatever ends up being the best for them both.
