Neighbor has a Midlife Crisis!

When a woman cracks up its she's gone mental. When a man cracks up its he's trying to recapture his youth. I call it heart attack victim to stupid to realise he threw away the better choices. A couple I had been friends with for a few years one day just went off the deep end. He had had a heart attack at 38 yrs old. My husband and I were stunned. Yeah, he smoked but he always seemed so fit. Just days after getting out of the hospital our idiot friend went to a motorcycle rally and raced up and down the strip. Yeah, that was takingit easy. Next thing we know he is telling us that he was leaving his wife of eight years. He said she flipped out and was trying to kill him. He told us he didn't want anyone to treat her differently but he couldn't live with her since she was suicidal. He said he was going to stay somewhere else while his wife remained at the house. Yeah, he sure did. He dropped his daughter at his ex-sister-in-law's and headed to another place to hang his hat.

The weekend wore on and became worried about his wife. I had not seen her since she had gotten out of the hospital. I finally couldn't stand it and walked up to see her, she only lived three doors away. She looked awful. She had been crying and was devastated. We began calling on houses and apartments trying to find her a place to move in to. She didn't want the house. We left to go find some boxes when who should appear before us but her husband with another woman on his motorcycle. His wife pretended not to notice but the look on her face spoke volumes.

I went home later that evening and my husband was very angry at his buddy. It turns out he ran into my husband and invited us to go camping with him and his new girlfriend who he swore was only a friend. My husband told him no thanks. I was furious. The entire next week while we were trying to keep his wife of eight years from offing herself he is joyriding in the neighborhood with his new sweety in front of his wife. Sneaking into the house when I could get her to leave the house so he and new sweety could try out her bed and use the shower together.

She was able to find a cute nice little one bedroom house with a garage and we helped her move into it. He thanked us for getting her out of the house and than told his wife that he didn't thinkshe would move and that if we had just kept out of it how they could have worked things out. Yeah, his wife wasn't even moved out yet and he was doing the new sweety in her bed. Yeah, you work that out. With in days of moving his wife to her own house he had moved his new sweety in with her three young daughters. Yeah, sweety pie was twelve years younger than his wife. Somone was having a meltdown of his own.

I wasn't long and the yard had to be redone because new sweety didn't like the flowers that wifey had planted. The enterior walls of the house had to be repainted because she didn't like colors wifey had picked. Opps, new friends had to be selected with care as she couldn't stand to have former wifey ever mentioned in her presence. Don't you know tht his two children from his first wife had to go down the road to. One ended up in a group home and the other moved in with their mother. He had made it very clear if you can't get along with sweety you have to move out. You can't have anything to do with wifey number two either that sweety replaced or he would never speak to them again. If his keds came back to see him he couldn't spend any time with them as just their father. He had to play Daddy to her three daughters and dance attendance on sweety.

Problem now became husband kept driving by the wife's new house, where she worked and showing up in areas he knew wifey frequented. He became angry at us because we would not desert his wife and had stuck by her as friends. Two years go by and he is still with sweety who has a choke hold around his neck and a firm grasp on his unmentionables we think and guess what, wifey signed the divorce papers but he never has. Makes you think that no matter what he says somebody still has feelings for wifey.
