Keep you sodding drama!

[TillyVonMilly]

It might just be me, I’m menopausal so known to be grumpy at times, but why do certain people feel the need to share their drama? The latest was a text, yes TEXT, to tell me that this person is splitting from partner of 10 years,. I’d assume that you didn’t call because you didn’t want to talk and I send a message to say I’m so sorry and you know where I am, silence for three days until I had to contact them for a different reason. Apparently they are doing ok, I’m pleased, and are going to be mature and work it out
You are thirtyfuckingfour not 14, so why did you feel it necessary to text me? You were having a row, sort it, phone me after an argument to talk, no problem but don’t send a text, which you know will cause worry on my part and then just not bother letting me know you’re ok!
It’s not the first tme and my patience are wearing thin

I have a whole side of my family that could keep Eastenders going in plot lines for years. They lurch from one drama to the next. If it were fictional it might be comical.

I just nod, smile and carry on.

I do the nod and smile most of the time, it’s DP family, he often says they live a soap opera life. I don’t mind listening and being asked for advice but I’m sick of common sense being ignored and of stupidity.

I had a text from someone in the street I live in - not a particular friend more of mine - text me to tell me she was in a terrible position and she and her husband were splitting up. I didn't know what she wanted me to do so I texted back to ask if she needed anything, nothing. I rang her as I was worried, nothing. I took the dog out and went past her house and saw that she and her DH were sitting at the table having dinner. Messaged her to ask if everything ok and I got a reply saying 'Yeah, why? 😕' complete with confused face. I saw her the next day and she didn't say a thing.
