An old friend of mine called me today and told me her ex husband is dying. She is 29 years old, and her ex husband is about only five years older than her. I've known this friend almost my entire life. Her family was friends with my family growing up..... I also knew her ex-husband. Seemed like a decent guy to me. We hung out plenty of times and got on great.
I guess it was a bad relationship which involved a lot of lying, cheating, abuse, drug addiction.... etc.. She was very high strung and hard to please. They are both very well off financially, so money is not a factor of their failed relationship....
so when my friend called today, she started giggling and said, "I am glad that bastard is going to die. He perhaps will go to hell too."
I was like
I'm not sure how I really feel about this? I mean I've really dislied ex's in the past, but not actually hated them... and couldn't imagine feeling happy about an impending death.
I guess I have no right to really judge her because this is her feeling. However, I wonder if my friend is a vindictive, cruel, and hateful bitch?
She's never done anything wrong to me and has been a great friend my whole life, but this conversation I had with her today made me see a side of her I've never seen..... kind of hateful and nasty... phew. I'm like wtf? Anyone else ever glad their ex was dying?
