[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jen was in spiral with Brandon for years. According to her account, only two of her internet mommy friends ever made a comment about the relationship.

Now supposedly Jen has the BEST friends and the BEST family. Yet from Jen’s account, they never said anything. I’m just an internet speculator but it seems like Jen is used to being worshipped by her inner circle. Either they believed the lies she told them about the state of her marriage and turned a blind eye to the visible building resentments or they’re just too afraid to tell her anything.

I lost a best friend when I called her out for being a mistress. She got defensive and I got disgusted. Jen’s friends probably don’t want to rock the boat. Like my old friend situation, I wonder if their relationships with her are rather superficial despite spending a lot of time together…

Now Jen is with someone who treats her worse  (publicly at least) than Brandon ever did. Brandon privately cheated on her. Tyler still has an essay about his love for another woman on Facebook. With this other woman, he spent the first year of his relationship with Jen planning a hugely significant and intimate party for his parents, which Jen did not attend. Tyler likes seductive photos of other woman on Instagram and finds any opportunity to undercut Jen.

Not saying one guy is better than the other but the fact is, Jen speaks as if she’s matured while her actions show the opposite. For as brash as she claims them to be, I would not be surprised if everyone in her inner circle is walking on egg shells about Tyler.

Hell, maybe they’re sick of her shit and secretly love watching Jen’s downfall. Hope that’s not the case but we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes and people can get real covertly petty and vengeful when someone close is much more “successful” than them in life.

I think it's pretty common for friends to mind their own business when it comes to general marriage and relationship troubles, or to only say something when asked for advice. Not saying it's right, but people are afraid of saying "he's not right for you" and then having to deal with that person being around for another 10 years. Now, if someone doesn't speak up about cheating or abuse, that is flat-out wrong. Good for you for drawing a line with your former friend!

Maybe Jen acts as if all is great and doesn't seek advice. Maybe she does and it falls on deaf ears and friends are frustrated. Who knows? [/quote]
