So, we have this couple we know. Probably one of the worst couples around, IMHO, insofar as whether or not they belong together. The guy is a bit off his rocker, being one of those 9/11-truther, conspiracy theorist, bitcoin "so the gubbamint doesn't track me" adopter types. The girl is kind of flighty. In a sense they're both well intentioned - but together they're like oil and water.
They don't get along - and they've flirted with the idea of divorce a number of times during the 5-6 years we've known them. He's insulting toward her, calls her names, etc. She instigates. The dynamic is just off - and if they were just dating - it would have been high time to break it off quite some time ago.
So apparently she decides a few months ago that she's an alcoholic and gets into AA (my wife and I are both not really drinkers - and even from that standpoint her pronouncement that she's an alcoholic took us by surprise - as we've hung out with them a lot of times and have never seen any problematic behavior). I guess as she was sobering up - a lot of her issues with her husband must have come out at the meetings...and she started up what I guess could be called the "13th step". She started seeing some dude at the meetings.
She makes the announcement that she's wanting a divorce, and that she's found someone new.
The guy - clearly and understandably upset by all of this - starts taking his grievances to social media/facebook. He's out there posting all of their dirty laundry - finding out every bit of information he can about this other dude - posting his phone number/etc up hoping his friends will harass him. He's finding every article available that talks about what a sham AA is and posting those...and it's been going on for weeks now.
So, she's seeing this dude while still living in their house, while he's making a social media spectacle of the whole thing. Finally - last week - she tells him she's moving out.
...and decides she's going to have new dude help her move all of her stuff out.
Well, you can imagine how well that went...lol Went over like a wet fart. Police reports were filed...busted lips were had...etc etc.
So - after the whole fiasco of moving out - and all of the dirty laundry being aired on social media about infidelity, etc... What do I see this morning? A post made by him of him and the kids hanging out with some new chick this past weekend.

People are drama.
