Cheaters.

This is a serious post about serious things.

My roommate's fiance has been having an affair. For SIX.MONTHS. She found out on Wednesday and hasn't been able to keep food down since then. She stayed with J and I on Wednesday night, and then we came back to our apartment on Thursday. She's shocked, embarrassed, mortified, disgusted, sad, hurt, angry, and a host of other emotions she hasn't even uncovered yet. I'm just angry and disgusted, and of course broken hearted for her.

How does that happen to someone? How can you do that to someone that you love? That you were going to marry in 8 months? He bought this person, this mistress, this HOMEWRECKER a CHRISTMAS PRESENT. How do you sleep with your fiancee the morning before you tell her you've been sleeping with someone else for six months? How do you sleep with someone else for six months and look at your fiancee? Look at your parents? Look at your future inlaws?

My roommate is sick. She hasn't kept any food down, she's spiked a fever, she's chain smoking again. She's broken. She's confused. She's hurt. She's alone. I can only do so much, I can only be so much to her. She came down here to SC for him. She came down here to start a new life with him. They were going to get married. She was going to live here with him, be happy with him. How can you do this to her, you jackass? How can you look at her and tell her "I don't know how or why it happened."

I want to call him. I want to tell him how much this is affecting everyone around him. I want to yell at him for her, for all women. I want to meet the stupid whore that did this. I want to show her what my roommate looks like now, how completely and utterly broken she is. How confused and foggy she seems. And rub her face in it. Are you happy? Are you okay with what you have helped transpire? How could you bake my roommate cookies? How could you meet her on Halloween and take pictures of my roommate and her fiance and be soooo... THERE?

He got so upset with Marc Sanford. He did, he considered quitting. That was three weeks before it all began. He's a hypocrite, a hypo-Christian if you will. For someone who was so "Jesus-centered" as he was, he sure strayed rather quickly from the path. I think this is why so many people are disgusted by Christianity.

Is forgiveness truly possible? He expected my roommate to immediately forgive and forget the day he told her. He got angry when he found out she told her mother, said her mother had no right to be involved in this private business. To me, that's abusive. In no way can anyone control who I talk to and about what I talk with them. I k now that with time she will forgive him, but she will never forget. What is so unfortunate is that now she will be wary in any relationship she enters. Thank you, jerk.

I pray for both of them. I pray that he finds the light to turn around. I pray that she finds comfort in His Love, and knows that though she feels like she'll never be okay again, that she will, and that she isn't alone. I pray for me, for the strength to travel this journey with her, I pray for her strength as well.

So, blogosphere, if you're out there.. Pray for these two people here in SC. Pray as hard as you can. I love her like a sister, and I want her to be okay soon.

'Til then,

It's a puppy!

For starters, omg, I'm so lame. I can't believe it's been so long since I've written!

This will be a quick update before I buckle down with school and puppy training! Yep, we got ourselves a little doll baby and her name is Emory (pictures soon, I promise).

In other news, Josh moved down here on the 30th and we've been livin' it up for sure! Watching movies, sleeping in late, not doing ANYTHING AT ALL. I love this life, and I can't wait until we're married so we can do it every day for the rest of our lives.

So, I decided this blog will chronicle our journey of raising an 8 week old pup to adulthood and everything in between.. Let's not forget I'm still planning a wedding and getting a master's hood in May. I'm going to be a busy, busy bee...

Next post: Bringing her home/Night 1....

Toodles!

PS.. Fave new word from the Christmas holidays: "Tuddy." Munch on that. :)
