a buddy of mine asked his girlfriend to marry him
and she said no.
she suffers from a form of autisim; she's much younger, in her 30s, has never left home. he's in his 40s, has never left home either, but both of his parents have recently died due to natural causes.
he's trying to fill that void of emptiness. he's not autistic; was just highly spoiled. never left home because he didn't need to. she, on the other hand, still has both of her parents. they're divorced; but she splits weeks and weekends with them. my friend and her still spend time with one another, but it's complicated. because of her conditionand his work schedule.
I'm only going by what I've personally seen, knowing him for 15 years, and her for like 2. i honestly think that this a sad love story that gets pushed off into the corner of some of our minds.
I think she knew her condition well enough to stop him, because at the time that he asked her, they hadn't been together long enough. he proposed while still greiving, not giving himself a chance to process this change. was he ready to support a wife, having never been on his own, now with bills? was she ready, given this "custody battle" she's in, between 2 parents treating her like she's still a little girl?
hypothetically asking. we'll never know. they are still together, however. just as strong. and maybe it will happen. we'll never know, but he has my support. and she does too. mental illness and personal circumstances are things we make fun of, avoid, overlook, walk over and brush off everyday. doesn't mean they all aren't real. they're real - and they intertwine with one another. just, think about it.
I suffer from bipolar depression. it's not the massive kind that makes me violent. I just turn off ans completely shut down. and my daughter counsels me through it. with her pure heart. aside from the times where we're two "kids" having fun.
p.s. she ate one of my candies this weekend. game, set, match!
