Dealing with your friend's divorce - Blog Entry

10 Mar 2007 08:22 AM

I find myself in a situation where my close "couple friends" are close to splitting up. Our two families spend a lot of time together, so this has really been devastating for me. I can see both sides of the arguement, and I can see that they have let some pretty serious issues fester though lack of communication for so long that perhaps it is too late. I just feel so depressed over the idea that they might actually split because it will mean an end to our family friendship and will represent upheaval for a lot of people because we all have the same close knit group of mutual friends.

The saddest part is that they really do seem to love each other. They are just at a real crossroads. I am sad, but also angry that they don't try harder. Both think the other one needs counseling but neither are willing to go. They are at a point where they are just resigned to it, but yet they still attend social functions together and seem to enjoy each other.

I am so confused. It would be useful for me to take a break from spending time with them, but I can't seem to do it. Our lives are really intertwined and have been for years.
