I guess I am long over due for an update.
We had company from England, Richard and Mick. Rather nice chaps, but you learn more about folks by spending time with them. Initally I met them both last year, and thought Richard to be a really grand fellow who longed to chuck everything, wife, family and career to relocate here in the States. I developed a quick bond to him and really liked him. Mick was a little harder to read.
After their first visit I looked forward with much joy to their next visit. This time I learned more about Mick and found him to be a delightfully smart and friendly person. Once they left us and headed off to a huge gun show, Mick had a movie shipped to me. We had talked about "The World's Fastest Indian", as it is Mick's favorite film. I had looked for it but never bought it, so he did that for me! It is now one of my favorite movies.
While they were here, they spent several days with us. And while here Mandy arrived and that is when I got to see the real Richard.
Richard took on the attitudes and actions of a 12 year old boy that had only fantasized about a girl. He fawned and pawed all over Mandy. He would not leave her alone and after two hours he was proclaiming his love for her and offering marraige and anything she wanted as he does have a bit of wealth. I found him rather disgusting and appaling in the way he acted.
Once they left he constantly bombarded her email, text and phone with calls and messages, begging her to admit that she too loved him.
Now a bit o' back story.
Debbie may have started this by telling Richard about Mandy relocating here and how nice it would be if they could share a residence and maybe help him acheive legal status. But Debbie never once told him about Mandy being a lesbian.
Now Richard is in a field of operations he knows nothing about as no one has told him, and I am not going to. I did not create this beast.
While in Tulsa Debbie emailed him and tried to get him to cool his jets and he acted like a little hurt child, pouting and sulking and not wanting to come by on the way back, just leaving us as if we did not matter. That pissed me off!
But he rebounded and became worse.
Back here he offered to fly Mandy back with him. The drive to Atlanta was horrid for Mandy as she had to hold both his hands to avoid being molested in the back seat of our truck. I felt badly for her and angry at Richard.
Once out of the truck and us on our way home Mandy was overwhelmed and curled up in the fetal position in the floor of the truck. I felt so sorry for her.
One would think this would all end with distance, but it did not and has devolved into foul and vulgar texts from him and now Mandy not responding to him at all. It is all fucked up. This all could have been handled a lot better with a slight dash of openess and honesty.
