Nine days ago, our friend Marky mark began a group text to five people regarding his marital woes. Now these five people know him very well, and we ignored what he was texting. This went on with pages and pages of text where his wife was defamed. That was a very bad idea, as we are friends with both of them. I did a reply text last Saturday and said we didn’t know what was going on, but that we love both of them and if there’s anything we could do to help we would. No reply to that, nor to the other two texts I had sent two days before when I noticed his garbage cans were still out and his dogs have not been walked. Apparently, as I know now, he was having a manic outburst. After Thursday nights work, Lani left for her sisters in Orlando. She had told us a few days before all of this began that she was going to sort out her mothers clothing and pack up what was left in her mothers bedroom. That all made sense to us, but none of this lashing out at her on his texting mess.
Then, last Sunday, Lani came over crying. Then, we got the second side of the story. Without revealing any facts, neither one thinks the marriage can be saved. Our friend Wayne O was on his way to his boat, so we asked him to pop over and give Lani some advice. Well, you know who was looking out his window across the street. After days and days and days of texting, he suddenly shut up and did nothing more than lay on the couch for the next six days. He only left the house once when she went to work on Tuesday.
Knowing us as you do, we are concerned for the two little dogs. Eventually, we did see him take them down to the circle for a walk.
After his big reveal, all we could say amongst the group of us was that the curtain had been pulled back and there sat a very small man.
His rants and his raves have cost him friendships. We put his house key into his mailbox, no note. Lani said it was delivered and he had no comment. It took four days for our key to wind up back in our mailbox. Then, when we got home from working in the villages yesterday, our garbage cans were still on the driveway. Mark said, lol, well, I guess Marky Mark and I are officially divorced.
Lani is back at her sisters where we wish she would stay for safety sake. Over the course of our for 4 year friendship, we have seen his outbursts before. This out burst has apparently caused him to be sick and depressed. Well, in our opinion, he did it to himself. He cares about nothing but money. When Lani sold her personal home, he demanded that money go into their joint account. She had other plans for it and it does not belong to the marriage. He has in the past, insisted she sell her mothers house and move her sister’s family out of it. There’s more to the story, but you can see where this is going. A friendship, hit the skids. 🤷♀️
