- Go to To be... or not to be...happy
Oh, the injustices in a marriage. Yes, Kabu, just keep on being there for her because that's what friends do. They take up the slack when the one who should be there for them is thinking only of themselves. I have a little experience in that department!

He wouldn't take is wife to the hospital because he was 'busy with his computer?' That's outrageous! What a jerk!

It's harder when you live with Scrooge (okay I got it from Taps, but it sounds right) and he demonstrates 
how little he cares, but life goes on anyway and maybe she can still enjoy the Christmas season. I think Taps had some good ideas about him; and my take, paying less attention to such people if you can't leave them seems to work the best in some cases.

It sounds like he is his own worst enemy. Apparently he has never learned that what goes around, comes around. "Scrooge" comes to mind. This man may not be pinching his pennies, but he sure is pinching other components of life and definitely needs a Christmas Spirit jolt.

This story made me burn with fury at the inconsiderate jackass...
I don't even know that couple, the incident is half a world away from my cozy little nest. Nothing whatsoever to do with me, and yet I want to offer her my spare bedroom and tell him to go stew in his own juice... You have a way with getting to the heart of things.

Oh dear, it certainly sounds like their relationship is not characterised by love and happiness. Perhaps they need to evaluate their needs and relationship...

poor old Job Kabu. but *I am afraid it happens quite a lot, only some do not like to admit it is the case. It is not alway the man though, I have known some wretched women
who bully their way through life.She should have opted for out, but I guess it is too late now.

Darling I know exactly what you mean. I am so blessed with the husband I have and he tells me he is with having me. He is always there when I need him. God bless you and I shall pray for your friend. God knows her name. Be blessed.

It is such a sad situation, both of them too afraid to do what needs to be done.

Some marriages are not so much partnerships
as rivalries. I realized this once, when I was so mad at my husband that I called him by my sister's name.
