NWR: Im having a very emotional day: a vent

I came home from Bermuda with bronchitis.  which how now turned into an ear infection as well.  my head is in excruciating pain.  

my exbf and i are still friends.  we were together for 7 years.  i love him dearly, and he is a great guy.  i left him because our relationshihp wasnt going anywhere, and we just werent meant to be.  i broke his heart.  when I left him, within 4 weeks he broke his leg, got sick, and lost his job.  he was a business consultant for a very large company.  he was an economic casualty.  he still hasnt found another job, and his medical insurance runs out tomorrow.  i wish i knew how to help him.  i wish i could.  it breaks my heart. 

St. patricks day i found out my BFF of 5 years was a pathological liar with deep psych issues and our entire friendship was a lie.   a friend of mine was a shoulder to cry on, i was crushed and betrayed.  she listened.  took my side, and was appalled at everything that happened.  "i never really hung out with jane doe, but i def wont now.  i cant believe she did xyz, and blah blah blah"   I just saw them out to lunch together.   what!

I have to work sat night, mischief night, in a really dangerous city.   its a big gang initiation night.  and im scheduled to work with a partner i dont know, who has a less then stellar reputation, with a new equipment configuration.  that night has disaster written all over it.  i want to call out, but i need the money, but i dont want to get in a bad situation because of no mojo between my partner and me. 

imso overwhelmed right now.  i want to crawl up in a hole.   sigh.

  • nessi, i wish I knew what to say to help out but I don't... I can tell you that while I don't have the exact same situations in my life as you do, I do know what it's like to feel betrayed & alone - even if you have plenty of other wonderful things going on in your life.  I also know what it's like to really want to help a friend and not be able to - or not know how to...
    *hugs* and =vibes= that your day/week will get better and that you will stay safe if you still have to work on Saturday...

  • I second jmteter. I'm so sorry you're going through all this. You're definitely having a bad day.

    You may want to help your ex but you are not his partner anymore and you can only do what you can. Lending a patient ear to listen and throwing job leads his way are about all you can really do. He'll get back on his feet. I know the helpless feeling though. That's a tough one.

    You're best friend reminds me of one of my ex friends. I wasted so much time and energy on her to find out that in the end it was all for nothing. I just wanted to tell you I understand. I have friends who are friends with her, they complain and know not to get close to her because she has a bad habit of turning on her best friends and I can't stand it!  What's wrong with people like her? I don't get it!?!?

    Are you a beat cop? You sound like it from your story. I'm sending my T&P your way for your safety. GL!

    Hope you have better days ahead.
