Alright. Sensitivity over truth? Man... stay away from the plank.?

Gee, why am I the person who has the most problematic acquaintances?

I joined one of my dearest friends (Carry) for dinner last night at Johnny Rockets. As usual, me and Carry caught up on our daily lives through intense conversations over shakes, greasy burgers and oily french fries. Our conversation was going pretty well for a while, until, Carry broke down in tears. At first, I was insanely confused because we were talking about how great her children were doing, how her knew job was so spectacular and that she couldn't believe how happy she was with it. I mean, Carry was practically bragging about how she and Craig (her husband) had just returned from visiting Craigs family in Los Angeles and that they had had a blast. After lastly mentioning that her and Craig had had a blast in Los Angeles, tears just sporratically spread around her entire face... my immediate reaction to her unexplainable tears would have scared anyone... I stared straight at her forehead while crunching my eyebrows tighter than ever and slightly yelled, "What!! What is it!!?".

Then I quickly took notice that not only was I extremely loud; I got every, and I mean every, living beings attention in the restaurant. I half smiled at the waitress and apologised (and she kind of had no choice but to say, "it's okay"). But yeah so then, people in the restaurant turned as if nothing had happened... so I then turned, raised my eyebrows again, and looked at Carry and asked her whyTF she was pooring water falls all over the damn table in public. Carry began explaining that she got hooked on Craigs love from the minute there eyes met. At first, I was like okay, just cut the crap women and get to the point as to why you are acting all strange. But then I saw how frightened she really seemed. Well, Carry confessed that lately Craig had been slighlty domineering, at times a little overpowering, lightly objectifying the every nature of his violent behaviors, and blaming... a lot. Her. And for everything. Carry says that they constantly disagree over the simpliest things. For example, if Craig wanted a gourmet omelette for breakfast and Carry wanted pancakes, they'd engage in a tussle. When I asked her what exactly she meant by a "tussle", Carry told me that Craig would lose control and just snap.

Um... come on.

With both hands, I gripped the sides of my head and advised Carry to remove herself and the children from that house and to come stay at my place. But no, Carry clearly ignored every bit of what I said and continued rambling on about Craig saying, "but Craig loves the children and he only gets heated sometimes. This last time he got heated he only grabbed me, and the time before he slapped me, so it's getting better". Carry also said that Craig accuses her of not understanding why he gets so heated before snapping. And that because she does not fully understand him, it's her fault they are unable to resolve there issues.

Um... come on. I broke it down swiftly and told her that he is the one not understanding and that ever since his beastly behavior sprouted, that he has made the choice to avoid seeking any understanding of her feelings. When she got all puppy eyed, I just mugged her and conitnued to tell her that he isn't even realizing the effects his bs has put on the situation.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, she keeps phoning me about it all. What else can I do?
