Soap Box Time.

Okay so over at my little blog I give out some of my neighborhood gossip every once in a while.

I'm gonna go ahead and post some of it on Maeve's today because she seems to be following me on the "Freddy Saga."

Since she's gone I figure she'll only be checking in from time to time at her own blog and I don't want her to miss any of this honey. I truly don't.

Oh and not to say that I enjoy hearing anybody else's misery but ya' gotta admit that it has a tendency to take your mind off your own problems.

Last night I was all kinds of ready for bed. I've been feeling pretty down in the dumps so I took a nice hot bath, did a face mask, painted my nails and I felt like warmed over butter. I mean to tell you I felt GOOD and RELAXED.

*Ding Dong*

Now who in the world could be rining my doorbell at this hour?

It was my good buddy Petra and her eyes were red as blood and I could tell she'd been crying.

FREDDY!

That man's name was the first thing that popped into my head.

I didn't say one word to my pal. I just swooped her up in a big ole' Momma Bear Hug and escorted her up my stairs.

Petra has caught him sending "lovey dovey" messages to a woman at his job....AGAIN!

Here's the problem. She won't say ANYTHING to him about. She has yet to confront him on this and believe me...this ain't the FIRST TIME either.

Words just fail me on this one. I can't understand why she won't even sit down and even ASK him about it.

I asked her last night; "How do you keep crawling in bed with him and having sex when you KNOW he's fooling around on you? How do you even stand to let him TOUCH you?"

Let me give you a wee bit of background on these two.

Freddy is in his mid 40's. He was married to his first wife for about 20 years. They got married very young because a baby was coming. Freddy has admitted that he was a bad husband, didn't love her and he slept with anything that moved and finally his ex wife had had enough and she kicked him out.

Then he met Petra.

Petra is 32 years old. She was married once but her ex husband got into drugs and now he's in prison.

Petra and Freddy got pregnant with their daughter pretty quick too. Petra refuses to marry him but they do live with each other and Freddy is the MOST JEALOUS MAN on the planet.

What's that saying?

"The Guilty Scream the Loudest."

Yep...that's Freddy in a nutshell.

This man goes out at least twice a month on ALL NIGHTERS. I'm talking he spends the night AWAY from the house. He always says he's going to "company parties" and that it's easier if he gets a hotel.

Uh huh.

Why Petra just sits back and lets this man do this is BEYOND ME.

He won't even let her walk up the damn road to her own mother's house by herself. He pitches a fit when she comes to my house for a coffee.

She got a earfull from him last night because she came over here. He called her 3 damn times and she finally left when he threatened to walk over here. I told her; "Honey we can talk about this tomorrow but I am in NO MOOD for YOUR MAN. I don't want his ass up here tonight."

It's not like we could have talked with him up here anyway sooo....I sent her on home.

I really have no tolerance for people who cheat. My real father did that to my mother for years and it destroyed her for a long time. I mean what it did to her self confidence was almost criminal but ya know...she's fine now. She remarried a great guy.

I just don't understand "cheaters." Part of me really thinks they are born that way. My brother Mike has loved everyone of his wives but for some damn reason he can't be faithful to 'em. He cheats on every woman he gets. It's almost like a disease.

The good thing about this "disease" though is there is a cure.

It's called....MOVE YOUR ASS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND TELL THAT SUMBITCH TO KISS OFF.

No woman or no man deserves to be cheated on.

NOBODY DESERVES THAT!
