Annie isn’t looking for her sister to give her any kind of advice though and she has zero interest in leaving her cheating man; she just wants to complain non-stop about Jane.
She’s not the only one in their family who is growing sick and tired of Annie’s Jane obsession; they have a second sister who is also growing weary of this mess.
Their mom thinks that they all need to treat Annie gently since it’s difficult for her to know that her husband cheated, but that’s not something she really agrees with anymore.
She has done everything to try to support Annie through everything; she’s been sympathetic, she’s attempted to give her some “tough love” or try to get her to talk about something other than Jane.
She’s also tried to get Annie into counseling, but nothing that she tries helps at all or ends up working.
No matter what she does or what she says, Annie can’t stop talking about Jane every single day of her life and it’s been years now.
“I hit my boiling point this morning when she was going on about how Jane’s fiance would cheat because she’s too fat (she’s pregnant!) and her baby would be a bastard, etc.,” she said.
“Then she said “I don’t care because I won and she lost. She had him for a week and I have him for a lifetime.”
“For some reason that made me snap. I told Annie she “won” a slimy serial cheater who likes to creep on barely legal teens, who never supported her through illness or depression, never lifts a finger around the house, sulks about having to “babysit” his own kids, constantly makes mean jokes about her, and criticizes her appearance harshly even though he’s below average in looks.”
“I said something like, “Maybe you’re obsessed with Jane’s life because it’s yours is a massive dumpster fire.”
Well, that didn’t go over well at all with Annie.
