    Spooky, my last few days have been mainly taking up with supporting my (widowed) friend, whose new 'partner/boyfriend' was admitted to hospital on Friday morning in a diabetic coma!!:eek: This chap has never been diagnosed with diabetes. She is very much a carer/ feeder and has spent the last 3 days at the hospital with him, offering to take in his sis and mother who have travelled up from London. I'm trying to tell her that now he is in the right place the fact that visiting hours are 11 am to 7 pm doesn't mean you have to be there all of the time. She is also very bossy/controlling, which she knows, but I so want to say now he's receiving care, back off a bit, but she can't!

    Looking after her, looking after him has meant an extra few veg in the curry tonight to make it 'stretch' and 4 days of feeding her old , white lab and letting him out to do his business. When I went today the 'dog' had left me a bottle of wine and a twix to have with my coffee, I really appreciated this, but know that she can't afford it.
    She is now talking about having him come to live with her, I'm :eek::eek: ...
    PS my friend is the only person I know who makes her own nann breads

    Your story resonated with me. We have a female friend who is also very controlling.:o

    I find relationship dynamics really interesting. I really like it when I have time to spend on my own but my friend needs to know where her partner is, what time he will be in and there’s hell to pay if he’s late:o

    I’m unsure what’s behind it all....maybe insecurity or anxiety but I’m sure it’s damaging their future together:o
