First the background:
I became friends to a couple. They had just gotten togeather and the man was going through a divorce with another women.
As I am rather good at listening and giving advice ( as long as it dosen't involve myself), and as the three of us had many things in common, we became very good friends. I helped them through many emotional and relationship crisis'.
The man and I clicked because of a common military and car bond.
The women seemed to understand there was something more to me from the begining. Often telling me that my house was interesting because it had a "real womens touch" ; and I don't have an SO. One day she asked me out shopping, and while looking at dresses, asked me "what size do you wear?" I tried to pretend to be ignorant, but; she looked at me with a goofy smile and told me that we were not at the store shopping for her, we were shopping for me.
From that day forward she and Michelle, became the best of friends. And; feelings started to develope, on both sides. Being somewhat ethical, I decide to leave the friendship. I don't date "taken" women; nor do I try to steal them from thier men. I explained to her that a true friend does things for the friends benefit, and not thier own. She told me she understood, but; that my decisions "just bring me that much closer to you".
Durring the time that I was a part of that couples life; I observed many things that were disquieting. Things that involved the boyfriend and the womans two year old daughter. You would think that me being a former investigator would make things easier, but; you would be wrong. I didn't want to shadow my observations of his actions with any preconcieved notions based on my experiance.
Most any one act could be shrugged away as just the actions of an insensitive idiot. Taken all togeather they formed a pattern. Still, knowing that I had feelings for the woman made me be very tough on myself. Finally I wrote the different things I had observed in a factual form and gave them to several different people that I trusted to see things dispassionately. All of them told me to make an official complaint.
It was done, and an investigation was launched. The Mother admitted that what I had seen had indeed happened. But; she insisted, I was wrong in the way I had interpeted it. The little girl, three by that time, was examined, and found intact, but; she was in possesion of an unusually advance knowledge of male anatomy and "what you did with it". Her mother insisted the girl must have picked it up from a porn that the man had watched in front of the little girl, while the mom was at work.
As you can imagine this made the woman furious at me. So mad at me, that the only other time we chanced to come in contact, she threw a box at me and left the store.
I recently talked to a friend of mine ( Michelles), that knows the woman. She told me that while the woman blamed me for filing a report. She had told people that it is partially her fault "for leading him on".
So; long enough, and here is the CD question: anyone care to tell me why she has not told a single person about Michelle?
She knows the right people in the right circles where that information could be devastating.
Thanks for being patient
Michelle
