(Posted here because I can't post it in my own LJ)
I have decided that I am spending this entire weekend without friends, without one friend in particular, the friend of my heart, of my soul... the one who has disappointed me, angered me, hurt me. The one who has hurt her husband and her friends and herself. All for the sake of... what?... for her own self-esteem?...
Jesus Christ... at what cost? Tear her home apart, tear her kids away from the dad they have known for 7 years (they are 11 and 9), tear the friendships apart because of all the dishonesty... then when it comes down to it, after she has told her husband that she doesn't love him anymore, doesn't find him attractive, thinks she is in love with someone else... after she is forced to admit to him that she fucked another man she changes her tune and becomes all sad and weepy and wants to stay with him, clings to him like a child and begs him "Don't go"???
Then when her best friend finds out that she lied about a completely different guy, that she said that he tried to force himself on her and that he's an asshole, when in reality she fucked him, too, and the best friend, thinking that this guy offended her best friend, treats him rudely when she sees him next, dismisses him like so much trash, and then, because of a random email, her best friend (me) finds out that she lied AGAIN, is angry, wants to confront her with it, and she makes it happen in front of the husband and sneers and tries to push it off on her best friend, that she is a bitch and how does she know it is the truth, what if SHE is telling the truth?... and her husband is regurgitating the same drivel because that is what she is feeding him...
And after ugliness and hatefulness she admits it and "feels like shit" about it... and realizes that she brought this all on herself... and that it's possible that no one will ever trust her again.. and that she has made her own bed, that everything that has happened was because of HER choices in all of this... and if her husband can forgive her and take her back then surely I can, too...
I am just... what the fuck? The last six years of my life, of my friendship with this person, has been one-sided, has been a way for her to revel in my failings, to throw that little, condescending half-smile my way and jump in to save me, to rescue me, to help me out of whatever my current predicament is... my savior... trying to be what to me?... better than me?... feed her self-righteousness by keeping herself in a role of "nothing is ever wrong with me, here let me help you, you poor thing"... what a load of complete and absolute horseshit.
You know... fucking is one thing, it's just physical. Lying is something else entirely. Being falsely smug about play-acted self-worth is something else entirely. Not knowing how to actually BE a best friend is something else entirely.
And what gets me about this whole thing... we have mutual friends. They are my group of friends. I can't talk about this without causing more strife, without breaking the circle... without being viewed as asking people to pick sides. As if there were any fucking side to this. I don't give a rat's ass who decides who is right. I am very confident in my position on it and I don't care who agrees or who doesn't.
I am... pissed off. I have been duped. This person portrayed herself to me as this great, wonderful, amazing person and here she is a lying, cheating whore... and not only to her husband (that is common enough, relationships never seem to last forever) but to ME, her best friend... well, the person who *thought* she was her best friend, anyway. Apparently, this person doesn't deserve to have a best friend, doesn't even deserve the husband that still wants her after she has fucked at least THREE guys since she was with him (the first that is public and is known about was right up to and probably following her marriage to him - that's another story unto itself - her best friends at the time were shunned and made into liars because of she couldn't admit to it).
What the fuck do I do now? Where do I go from here? Am I an awful person because I am having a hard time even being around her?
God, I feel as if I am going insane.
