Strike Two, and She's Out, Again

A good friend of ours, and K's boss, let her know today that his second wife has asked for a divorce. We are sad for him, but not surprised. Both K and I thought she was something of a gold digger from the start.
This is the second time she's moved out on him. The last time it was a trial separation. When she realized how hard it was to make it on her own, she came back to him, and he took her back. I don't think he's going to give her a third chance.
T is a great guy. He's friendly, cordial, smart, and while he's no a hands no manager, he's been a very decent boss for K. I do wish he had better luck with women.
Have you ever had a friend who married someone you knew was wrong for them? Did you try to tell them? Did they listen?

I am sorry to hear of this nice man getting into that situation.

@CoralLevang Sometimes it takes a good country song to tell it like it is.

lots of people (family, his side mostly) didn't think my husband married the right person...almost 20 years later I think I proved them wrong.

@CoralLevang The one who hasn't changed her ind we don't bother with - haven't seen or talked to her in at least 8 years....Now excuse me I have to go blow my nose, take another antibiotic and drink a gallon of water....
Our 20 years started a lot later in life than your daughter's did - with age comes wisdom.

That is a sad story. I feel bad for your friend. I haven't and I'm glad I haven't known or watched that happen to friends and family. You wonder why it happens. if she was a gold digger, you wonder how he missed it...

With the laws as they are now - in Australia at least - going through a divorce can break a person financially. There is always someone who will try to rort the system. And few people listen to the advice of outsiders (or insiders) when to comes to affairs of the heart.

I hope T's divorce is amicable and uncontested. He's under a lot of stress at work and doesn't need more.
I didn't listen to my friends who tried to tell me K wasn't right for me. Both friends who warned me about her have since divorced, and one has divorced his second wife. It's been nearly 29 years since K and I first started dating and we're still together and happier now than ever.

Yes, my friend is in a relationship now that is going to end in tears. She is aware he lies and cheats on her and they have spilt several times in recent months but she is one of those people who 'needs' to be with someone whilst he has the best of both worlds. I wish she would find someone decent.

Your friend's story is a heartbreaking one. I have to wonder about what the fathers of both parties to the relationship were like. Her father must not have been a good example of what a husband or boyfriend should be and his father never taught him that the woman in your life was to be respected and cherished. I made sure both of my sons understand that, and they know if they ever behaved differently they would have to answer to me.

@DWDavis never met her Father but she seems to have a very good relationship with her parents. I think more likely it is to do with her ex husband. ( she was left with very low esteem.) From what I know of the boyfriends family I think you are right in that his father was probably not a good example.

When I was younger I tried offering advice to someone I was stationed with. They didn't listen, and it failed miserably. I told them I didn't want to hear it because I had warned them. Love is blind (and lust is blind and deaf).

I have seen a lot but not on my friends. I pity those people who married the wrong persons. Since divorce is not legal in our place the more I pity on them. Well, we have annulment or legal separation here but it's costly.

Maybe he needs a friend to set him up with a woman. Sometimes we know who will suit our friends better than the silly choices they make.

My parents were not happy with my choice of husband, but 40 years later we are still together and still loving each other.

I've had a couple friends we've all warned and they did it anyway. With the expected results.
By the way, thanks for the song. I was thinking about these guys a couple weeks ago, but could only remember "I Love You," and was wracking my brain trying to think of their other hits.

I had some friends who I thought were too young when they got married, 18 and 16 with their first on the way. 16 years later they proved me wrong, happy to say.
It's never easy to talk with someone about who they love because they think they know what is best for them. I just let them know I love them and am there for them and do a lot of praying Sorry for your friend. Love the song. Have a blessed day.

yes, i had a counsin,actually he had a very warm family,but he sneakily dated with one gold digger woman, we know her very much, but he never listen to our suggestion, finally, they seperated as our expection.
they can't be clear while they fall in love, it's really hard to persuade.
