OK so why the fuck can't people be who they say they are?

My ex wife is now with another guy - one of my friends, as it happens. I've said 'Fuck it, you know, he's a good guy, he'll make you happier than I was ever going to.' i.e. I've given them my blessing. You've got to understand that I was so fucking fed up of trying to make someone so high maitenance and full of baggage, happy. So I just told my friend it's not worth losing his friendship over, as well as my wife.

So after weeks and weeks of him and her giving me 'space' (translated as not contactiing me) my friend says hey, we need to clear the air. You need your computer looked at. What time can you get in from work and I'll come over, look at it, hang out. I had the impression he was bringing her with him... whatever. I said if you're still here at 6, we'll hang out.

Just got home. Looking forward to seeing my friend, I don't hold grudges. Looked around. They've both been here, it's obvious. They've turned all the lights off that I'd left on. They've taken one of the double beds, the old computer (not that I mind - I'm on a laptop) and fucked off. And they've left the house an even bigger shit hole than it was in the first place with my atrocious housekeeping skills.

Why the fuck are people NEVER who they claim to be? Friends? Life-long soulmates? Any fucking thing?

Just someone give me some fucking honesty..... Why is there no honesty in this world.

    Meh, I wouldn't bother with either of 'em anymore.
    Try not to let them get to you (change the locks).
    Good luck man.

    That's incredibly fucked up. I'm really sorry.

    I don't know you well, but from what I gather, you really seriously deserve better than that. I wish I had an answer for why people can't be who they claim to be...because that question has plagued me throughout my life. I don't.

    People are selfish. Plain and simple. All they care is about themselves. They do not care about who they hurt when it comes to what they want.

    Because he's shellfish.

    Sorry.

    ask you friend to look at your computer, then when he looks pick it up and smash it in his face...
    HE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!
    I lost a good friend during the 06 tour, he messed around with my girl and then started dating her while I was on a ski vacation in Colorado... I do not talk to this prick anymore, and I could care less about him... Nobody really likes him anymore, which makes me happy!

    shit.

    I can't answer your question as to why people aren't always what they say they are..

    but I do know this - not all people are like that.

    that might sound crappy at the moment but I know you know it's true.

    go to the pub, or wherever you people go to get wasted, get BLOODY WASTED, then go to his place and kick the shit out of him... I'd be willing to bet he was flirting(and possibly fucking) your lady before you guys were officially through...

    Change the locks, and tell them if they ever come into your place and take stuff without talking about it first, or clearing it with you they're f-ed. That's kind of a shithead thing to do. Very disrespectful.

    Freaks....dude you're better off. What you're describing sounds similar to someone I used to know.

    No.. sorry, I don't. I really don't. Not at the moment. The only people I trust are people who'll just stay away and not tell me a fucking thing about themselves. Then we've got something to work with. We're both oblivious and we can get on with it. That's how relationships work isn't it.

    ...just when I thought my life sucked...

    Perspective is everything, guys. Hopefully there were no kids (HOPEfully! ?) and you'll be able to move on and recover. Gotta say, revenge may be good short term, but will not really get it done in the end. I'd go the zen route : write a letter, then burn it, along with all your animosity. Sounds gay and fluffy, but it can work. Good luck, dude.

    So did they take things that she owned, or were they joint-ownership items? Or even worse, yours?

    And why does she still have keys to your apt.
    They just went in and took stuff???? So was he calling to see that you would not be there and just went in???

    Unbelievable...
    I am very sorry that you were treated like that.

    She only took her stuff... I'm more just pissed off that the guy fucking chickened out - completely lost his nerve - before I got home. He said he wanted to 'clear the air with me' but he hasn't even got the fucking knackers to do it without pissing off before I arrive home.

    Thanks everyone for the concern. :) It's appreciated, really.

    I just don't know who to listen to anymore. It sounds stupid but I'm having such a fucking existential crisis right now. I mean I can't be in a town/country/world that's so horrible to people all the time. All I wanted was to share my life with someone - love them - do what I could for them. And I get shat on. Where is the fucking justice and what place do people like me have on this piece of shit earth.

    That's really crossing a line. Fuck, I can't imagine how much it must have taken to give them your blessing and he threw that back in your face. I swear to god, if I was you he'd get a kicking, and I'm not a violent guy. Just know one thing Mark, you are better than them. I know being the good guy feels like shit 99% of them time, I've always known this, but one day things don't work out so well for the assholes of this world.

    OK, forget the stuff.
    Forget the guy. Forget the girl.
    Change the locks, move, whatever. You need to distance yourself from these people cause all their doing, and probably ever going to do, is bring you down.

    Ok, now I'm seeing the situation. In the next day or two, tell her you need the space, and she needs to pick up the remainder of her stuff asap (if she hasn't already). You're not a storage facility (but don't exactly say that...hehe). Just the same, change the locks. It's your place, and you're the boss. They'll make each other miserable soon enough...heh

    Yeah. They're being supportive. They're the only people I know right now to be honest.
