The Flower
I feel horrible. I'm really bad at comforting people who are in pain and last night, I really, really hurt someone's feelings.
My sister-in-law called to tell my husband and I that she and her partner have decided to end their 8 year relationship. I never saw this coming and I was so stunned, I just sat there on the phone and couldn't say a word. They've always been so happy, or so I thought so I can't believe its come to this.
My husband made some stupid comment that made her cry and we all 3 just hung up without saying another word. Now she feels like we aren't taking this as seriously as we should because it was a gay relationship. This is so not true, at least on my part, and I know how much pain she is in. Its no different than a divorce and I completely understand that.
I just don't know what to say to her now after blowing it so badly last night.
