Maybe the needy ones are the men that feel the need to have a 20 year old girl on their arm. All three friends are taking it differently..... One is glad to be rid of him but pissed because he is supporting the girl instead of his kids. One is consumed with anger and one is heartbroken.
I know all these guys pretty well and them leaving their families for girls in the same age group as their kids really surprised me. I get it from a man's perspective but its kind of gross to me. I would have been disgusted by a 40 year old man hitting on me when I was 21.
I left my husband for another man. Would you assume he was too needy?
Sooooo, you are obviously supportive of your sorrowful friends.
Here is the secret to life: We don't control anything. Things will work out how they will no matter how much we try to change them.
It's OK to run the gamut of emotions after a loss. What happens next is up to your friends. They can try to enjoy the challenge of a new life or they can mourn the past. Reasonably well-balanced adults should already know this.
You are a whore.

I haven't had the opportunity to feel the sting of adultery, but it would be a deal breaker to me. That's just me, though. I'm not the kind to put up with major bullshit. I'm more of the grab the skillet and put the boxes out by the curb kind. I wouldn't even want to hear the bullshit excuse that went along with the bad behavior.
For all you know, these folks had open relationships that went horribly wrong. You never know. I try to stay out of other people's relationships. I lurve gossip and you can call me to bitch for about an hour total, then it's time to move on and do something else.
