I j...Wow, what a weird and devastating experience. <br />I just can’t imagine the turmoil of having to compute your best buddy into a complete liar and a hideous and violent murderer almost overnight. That’s truly awful. <br />It’s impossible to go from loving someone to being repulsed by them in a heartbeat whatever they’ve done. Poor guy. The conflict and never ending questions must be terrible.<br /><br />I guess we all think we’d get a sense of a murderous ‘type’ but of course that’s impossible. Feel odd saying this but when I first married, we became friends with a couple and got to a point of going out in a foursome and round each other’s for meals etc. I liked the wife but wasn’t so keen on him. He was however in the same trade as my husband so it was all fairly OK. <br />Things petered out when they divorced though and my husband was the only one that continued to see him from time to time.<br />He got a new girlfriend and the odd conversation would crop up about him but that was about it. Several years passed before he hit the headlines...... His girlfriend had left him and when he found out she was with another man he’d broken into their house and killed them both.<br />It’s was a shock even though I’d not seen him for several years. I kept thinking at the time I’ve socialised with a murderer?! I remembered his x wife as being a thoroughly decent type though and they’d also had two children. I felt so sorry for them having to carry that awful familial connection.<br /><br />They don’t carry a sign and I guess that kind of rage is rare and only generated in a perfect storm of horribly troubled events or thought processes that most of us never experience or thankfully act on.<br /><br />Good blog though!Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.com
