I mean this in the nicest way, really I do, but sometimes I wonder if some people truly deserve my time.
Details are not terribly important so I'm going to forgo most of them and give you a rough outline instead.
A man and a woman have been together for five years, they have two children together. Over the five years the woman who albeit is young has left, has cheated and has spent most of her time trying to convince the man that he doesn't deserve her. Well lo and behold the man now agrees with her! He now feels he deserves to be treated like a man, to be loved and respected and cared for and he knows she cannot do that.
He told her it was over and tried to leave, she sucked him back. He tried to leave again and she turned his family against him. She now has come to me about the matter and wants me to make it all just go away. I should mention the man in question is my best friend.
I spent all of last night dealing with her while she slung snot and cried about how she loved and needed him, with a couple of hour break in there dealing with him crying about how he couldn't stand to be around her. At around 7 this morning I finally drifted off to sleep for about 4 hours.
By noon she was back on IM with me again slinging snot. I had an entirely too long email from her in my inbox that I was trying to read while dealing with her and talking to a friend of his on the phone. Somewhere along the way he logged onto IM and started talking to me as well, and I still hadn't finished the damn email. By 3 she had thankfully talked herself out and I was allowed to read the email without interruption and respond to it.
During the IM conversation I told her all of the things she needed to do to maintain any sort of friendship with him and all of the things she would need to do if there was to ever be a chance for them to get back together. I swear I would have had an easier time making my cats understand what I was saying.
I'm tired, frustrated and have lost a lot of my faith in human intelligence.
