A college roommate and best man at my wedding became involved with a sorta hot divorced mother of two preteen boys. I was invited to the rehearsal dinner at which I took my dear friend aside and told him flat out he was making a huge mistake. I told him how much it pains me to say something like that but I felt I had to out of respect and loyalty to him. Somehow word got out to the bride. I never spoke nor was spoken to by either of them ever since-including at their wedding.

Three years later, the elder son was arrested for assaulting my friend and the wife was involuntarily hospitalized for mental illness.

I still have not heard from my friend. He has since remarried and has had, as far as I know, a very long-lasting and loving wife.

I do miss him. It’s been almost 40 years.
