Coincidence?

An old classmate of mine who did grade 4 with me donkey's years ago often came visiting me suddenly out of the blue. The first time was when we were both in our late 30s. She then disappeared for a long time only to suddenly contacted me again a couple of years later. in one of those later visits, she told me that her gentle husband just passed away suddenly in his early 40s, colon cancer. (I had met him a few times). She cried lots but explained that she didn't want to let anyone know until a year later. In our next chat a few months later, she told me of her latest romance and how it abruptly finished: in the dark, she accidentally drove her fiance's car over his darling cat. He, a doctor, retaliated a week later, by giving her some drugs which almost killed her. The last time chatting to me, she told me that she just re-married to some wonderful man who seemed to rub shoulders with all the big names in the country. She didn't want to tell me who that man was however. Do you have any old friends who would often pop up every now and then in your life like that? I kept thinking about that former doctor 'ex' of hers and his cat... Would any one really go that far to revenge for their pet? (or was everything just simple accidents, a sort of coincidence? )

I would say more it was only from her fantasy, I do not believe a word of what she says.

@YrNemo Even on this site there are some users who love to invent a new drama every day, but in the long run they contradict themselves, if you go back to read what they wrote in the past.

I have no clue seriously... I seem to have quite a few interesting acquaintances/friends like that - whose talks are a bit above my head.

@LadyDuck I told someone here that you have always seemed to be very sharp in your observations. The last comment you made, proved this further.

I wish I know the answer, seriously. I searched for world news often, just in case she turned out to be a First Lady or something.

@cintol Killing me here, to know that she is married to some famous man out there, and perhaps being famous herself for the last several years, and I have no clue whom she married to. (If I find a snapshot of hers, can you help tracing her? ) Actually, I have another few classmates married to movie producers I heard, but however I tried, I couldn't find them... Odd!

If the doctor did that, I think he is a criminal.

@YrNemo I don't know but I find it strange and also strange that she tells you she got married but doesn't want to tell who she married.

The story sounds bizarre. How much should I trust my friend's version?

That man did a very cruel act and should pay for it. I had a good friend that I met in grade school and we would keep in touch then I wouldn't hear from her. When I was back home in 2012 I stopped by her house and surprised her. We kept in touch for a couple more years until she passed away.

@YrNemo She had been sick for a long time so she is now having some peace. I remember how surprised she was when she found out how much I knew about the Native American ways. She was really into that.

I have a few classmates who passed away early too. A few cancer cases.

You must really be good friends. I hope, in her next visit, it will be your turn to 'surprise' her with something. ;)

Some people are crazy about their pets. It is a good thing she didn't get the chance to marry that doctor. I must admit although it is good to have a doctor in the house, I doubt I would feel 'safe' being married to one.

When I was a child, I swore never to marry to a doctor of medicine. They seemed to have a hard life at the time. (Not anymore I heard...)

She sounds like an interesting person, nut why p back up only when theee are exciting things to share. The one about the Dr is a little bit scary. Not a doctor anyone even patients want to upset

That has puzzled me lots. Then again, doctors are only humans like us, so perhaps every now and then, we would meet some unusual cases?

I would tend to believe that there is more to the story than what you were told. I have also found that someone who keeps croping up usually with bad news is looking for attention.

Oh dear, then I was not a special friend of hers at all, but just someone for her to 'chat' to when she happened to be in a mood? Sad, if that was the case. (She has been quiet for a long time this time.)

but she told me the last time we had a chat, that she was having the best time ever with this new husband who had married and divorced 5 wives. She is number 6.

Oh My Word, her fiance tried to kill her? And she is now married to someone who knows important people. Her life sounds like a soap opera. I do have friends that I lose touch with and then we bump into each other now and then, but nothing dramatic.

I truly don't understand your friend at all. Why wait a year to tell about her husband's passing? A doctor willing to give up his career for an accident? Why keep her new husband a secret? Why does she pop in and out of your life? Something sounds very fishy about her.

I was a bit shocked too, finding out that her husband had been gone that long and she didn't even drop me a line (via email I mean). Then again, perhaps I was so unimportant to her and should act like a dog sitting there waiting for some crumbs... (a pathetic image isn't it? )

Did you not wonder why she just came after every long year without hearing from her? I doubt if it was all true what she told you.

If she made up stories, then she must have been more lonely and sad than from what she told me. I do sincerely hope that she found what she wanted from the new husband's fancy world. (That wouldn't suit me one bit that sort of life, with parties & rubbing shoulders with the wealthy etc every day/night.)

Wow, that is most unusual. Sometimes I go a year or 2 without seeing a friend of mine -- but nothing like this. I almost wonder if she is prone to making up stories?

I don't know either, about her making up stories or not. She told me lots of interesting things too, but some relate to other classmates, so I often filtered those out and ignored (since I sort of knowing the others quite well).

Yes, there are people who love cats more than humans. Well, you could write a book with all the stories she tells you. Maybe she wants to be your muse but you don't know.

I was more impressed with her exotic investment properties in fancy areas for tourists which she had told me about. Imagine that, having properties in quite a few different cities.
