This weekend was very busy in the the drama category. There were 2 different episodes of drama. First being, the ever present rift between 2 of my girlfriends which came to a head Friday night, technically Saturday morning. Of course, it was over a man!! The second being, the long break-up sequence between my brother and his girlfriend.
Let’s examine episode #1.
Here’s the looong story. A little over 2 years ago, Thelma dated Ken for 3 months. Ken dumped Thelma, because he thought she partied too much and spent too much time with her friends. This totally broke Thelma’s heart. Because they live in the same neighborhood, after several months they became friends. Last February, Ken was hanging out with Thelma helping her with some home improvements, and he confessed to her that he was in love with her and wanted him back. Thelma, quickly rebuffed his advances saying that she had moved on and it was too late!!!
The very next night, Thelma had a party at her house, where Ken met a girl named Louise. Louise and Ken went home together that night, and subsequently spent the last year together. Here we are at the present time, last Wednesday, Ken admitted to Louise that he didn’t love her the way she wanted him to love her, and Louise ended the relationship.
The issues at hand. Thelma and Louise never became close because of this situation. There’s always been a bit of tension between the two. When Louise and Ken first got together, he asked her to keep the situation quiet because he was still working out his feelings for Thelma and he wanted to tell her himself. After a month, she finally told Thelma because Louise needed her to know. Thelma gave Louise her blessing to go ahead and date Ken. Although, Thelma gave Louise her blessing, Louise has always felt that Thelma still had feeling for Ken that she never admitted to. End of the situation!!
Fast forward to Friday night. Friday was set up as a girls night. It was myself, Peaches, Louise and Thelma. We were all drinking having a good time. We first went to a bar called Krem, and it was less than fun. I write about it in another blog. After a bit, we went to a neighborhood bar called Loom. When we got there, it was game on, the girls proceded to get trashed!! I was driving home, so I took it easy. I left the bar first. Then Peaches left. So, it was just Thelma and Louise. So, Louise started bringing up the whole Ken thing and trying to explain it away. She was trying to smooth things over with Thelma because they have several friends in common and they always see each other out. Thelma, apparently, had no wish to discuss the past with Louise. Of course they’re both drunk by this time. And as I heard the proceeding details it got bad!! Louise is talking to Thelma, Thelma interrupts Louise and says, “You’re such a liar, I went on vacation to Mexico, and while on vacation I decided I was going to take Ken back, then I come home to find out that you’re fucking the man I love!” She pushes Louise and walks out of the bar, gets in a cab and goes home!!
At 3:30 in the morning, I get a phone call from a drunk, hysterical crying Louise. She was saying that all her doubts and fears were realized. The whole time Louise was dating Ken she had fears and jealousy that Thelma secretly had feelings for Ken. And Friday night, her fears were realized. Now, she fears that Thelma and Ken will reunite and those feelings scare her to death.
Uggg…the drama!!!
Episode #2…
Coming Soon…I haven’t the energy to post any more about the weekend drama!!
