Ok - a year ago I became casual friends (extreem casual - like a few phonecalls and some email) with the wife of a guy in my husband's unit.
I actually wanted to be able to hang out with her and their kids a bit, but that just never happened..
Some time went by and we stopped talking - well, she just stopped calling me...and then a year into deployment I found out that she had started cheating on her husband, ran thm into huge debt, ended up getting his car repossesed...the list is long...anyway - their marriage is at an end.
This really tore her husband up (the husband's were good friends) - and her husband took it all out on my husband (my husband's in charge) and the constant barage started ot wear my husband out.
In the end of things - her actions destroyed the guys' friendship and respect for eachother...and it destroyed the respect I had for her.
Then her husband decided to stop talking ot her - since things were going so horribly ... and when he did that she emailed me asking me 'have you heard from him, is he ok?"
Well - duh! He's heartbroken, no wonder why he doesn't want to talk to you! No surprise, here.
But I don't want to talk to her, either .. but she keeps emailing me - not raelizing i'm getting her emails, I just don't know what to say!
Advice?
Ignore her? Tell her what I realy think? *shrug*
Just say "yeah, he's fine but maybe he's just really busy??"
And another part of me thinks that maybe she's trying to figure out how he's feeling and stuff without asking him.
As if I really know.
I just don't know what to do! but I have to do something or she'll keep emailing me thinking she'll eventually find out something.
