What goes on in peoples heads I'll never know

Scene: My apartment, 8:30 pm, just got done checking my email and am about to settle in for a night in front of the boob tube when all of a sudden my cell phone rings! (believe me, rare occurance on a weekday night unless I'm expecting a call which I wasn't)


Me: (After checking the caller ID) Hey Chicka! I haven't talked to you in ages how have you been? Whats going on?
CB (Carebear): I'm good, I just finally got your number. I didn't have it cause Chris had it in his phone for some reason and wouldn't give it to me.
Me: What the heck does HE have my number for?
CB: I don't know, anyway how are you?


The general niceties ensue and then we get down to the nitty gritty. Remember my post about a couple friends of mine who seemed to be the perfect couple but are not and are now seperating? Well this is one half of that couple and one of my best friends.


CB: So I went to a lawyer today and started drawing up the seperation papers.
Me: Really? So whats going on with you guys then? Obviously its officially over but are you living at your moms now?
CB: I'm mostly at moms, I come back to the house about 2 or 3 times a week to stay, just to pack stuff and sort out whats mine and whats his. My lawyer was telling me about all the stuff I am required to get when we seperate and he had said that I could get an annulment because he's not the man I married and that counts under falsehood or something in an annulment contract, but in the long run he said that it would mean us going to court and costing alot more money and time and effort then if we just got seperated legally and then divorced in a year so we're going that route.
Me: Well that sounds good then. So you're still at the house? Is he there when you are? Don't you find that really awkward?? I sure as heck would!
CB: We avoid eachother as much as possible and its good when I want to sort stuff out that he's here to go through it all. He's seeing his lawyer tomorrow, he got mad at me tonight though cause I wanted to check my email before I went to bed and he was on the computer. He's gotten really retarded with stuff. Did I tell you he's seeing someone else?
Me: WHAT! ALREADY? You guys have only officially chosen to get legally seperated. What the heck are you talking about he's already seeing someone? Who?
CB: Well he asked me a couple weeks ago if I had a problem with him seeing other people and I of course have a problem with that, cause he gave me such a hard time about making a decision about whether we should stay together or not and he seemed really torn up about me not being sure what I wanted, so I told him 'No Chris you don't need my permission you can see whoever you want' with a sarcastic tone and then he had the gaul to ask me if he could get a signed piece of paper stating that in writing! He then proceeded to draw up the paper and try to get me to sign it.
Me: You didn't sign it did you??
CB: Heck no! Anyway he called up this girl and then they went out for dinner and a movie the next night. He's already been to meet her parents and everything!
Me: Oh My God. WHAT AN ASS! Who the hell does that! I thought he was all upset that you guys couldn't work things out! Thats freakin retarded!
CB: Thats not the end of it, now I'm not sure on this but I got an email on our joint email account from one of Chris's co-workers, Sheena, talking about how people are losing respect for Chris and this girl Jennifer who he's seeing and works with, How there are rumors flying around that the two of them are together and have been together before, I guess he took her out for a night in the city and I mean a night. I'm not sure cause I haven't talked to him about it but I have no doubt they spent the night there. It sounds like they've been seeing eachother for awhile.
Me: OH MY GOD! Like even when you two were still married and together and all that!?
CB: I guess so.
Me: Holy Shit! I can't believe this, what an asshole! I'm glad you're getting rid of him. So he's met her parents and everything! Who the hell takes this guy to meet their parents whos married still and living with his estranged wife! She must be missing a few marbles then.
CB: Apparently she's got quite the reputation around work, they all say she's easy. AND this weekend I was in the valley at moms as usual and when I got back the house was spic and span, he had cleaned and he never cleans, so I asked him what was up? and he just said he had company, so I asked him if it was her and he said yes but what is it of my business, besides they didn't do anything and blah blah blah. I jsut told him they better not have been in my bed because thats just wrong. I can't believe it.
Me: Holy crap! Well Michael told me that he wouldn't be surprised that Chris got a gf in no time, he said that he always seemed to have one. I just didn't think it would be this quick this is retarded.
CB: I know. Michael said that?
Me: Yep, he said that Chris was always attached.
CB: I don't know what to think, I mean its just overwhelming you know. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm so stressed out I can't sleep. I had a break down at work, they gave me a day and a half off and I'm going to see a counsellor and if I need to go on stress leave work said that was fine. Oh and I'm getting a transfer to the Valley school board next year and moving back there.
Me: Really? Oh I'm going to miss having you around here. You know if you need anything just let me know, and if you need a place to stay you're always welcome. We have to get together sometime I haven't seen you in so long!
CB: Thanks Chicky. Well I have to go talk to you later! Have a great night!
Me: You too chicka!


I hang up the phone in total disbelief! I can't believe the nerve of some people who use and manipulate other peoples emotions to get what they want. When the bf came home we talked about CB and The Rat, the bf is friends with The Rat and when him and my friend CB got together, they introduced me and the bf so they broguht us to eachother and I was so shocked and appalled at what was going on with two people who I really enjoy and appreciate. The bf stated that more then likely thats why The Rat went over the edge like he did, in order to make it look like CB was the bad guy in the whole thing because she wanted to get out of the whole thing and wash her hands clean of it, and in the end he did it so he could be with that girl. We pondered different theories, Me totally hating The Rat for what he did to my friend, and the bf being more lenient on the matter of The Rat, he agreed with me though that it was rotten what he did to CB and that he deserves what he gets and CB should take full advantage of this new information coming to light when it comes to the divorce. I hope she takes that boy for all he's worth cause you get what you give and he's gotta get whats coming to him!
