Babies, LIes, And Videotape

Ive spoken about my best friend "Cody" before on several occassions. Well today the end of an era finally came.Let me explain. For over a year now the three of us (me , my husband and her) have been talking about finding a church. We werent sure what kind of church, but we were all pretty adamant we go together. Well, about a month ago my husband and I finally found 'The Church', the one suited to us and my friend, or so I thought. I rushed to tell Cody the good news, we had a church, a good one. She acted suitably excited and I asked when she was going to go. Cody missed her first service because her papaw died, which is perfectly understandable. So, we made plans for us and her, and her four kids to go today, Mothers Day. It seemed like everything was right. Then last night her boyfriend,(married boyfriend), says that THEY are going to church somewhere else, after she had made this commitment to me for church and lunch. Naturally I was angry, since I thought I was being thrown over for her slightly less than useless boyfriend. I came home, stewed, and went back to have it out with her. Now just for the record, I normally dont like fighting, but I felt this slight warranted some words. So I go back. She tells me she threw him out, because she knew how bad he hurt my feelings and that we were still going to church together. It seemed truthful enough. I told her I would be over at 9( early yes, but she's always late). I get to her house at 9 am the babies are in pj's eating breakfast. She comes thundering down the stairs sleepy eyed, in her jammies, and says to me "Dont look at me like that I just woke up". Now Id like to mention that her boyfriend had made it back at this point, and they had SO obviously spent the night 'Making Up' that she had over slept, breaking her promise to me. I cant live this way, its to hurtful and to harmful, but what will I do without the only friend Ive known for 10 years, I hope the kids do allright without me.

I good friend is worth all of the trouble in the world. Sometimes you just need a little time apart when things get rough (i.e broken promises, missed lunch dates). Just make sure that you don't say or do anything that will ruin you friendship forever, which includes constantly complaining about their other half. Remember life is only fun if you have people to share everything with.
