Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Men and relationships suck

"Whatever’s going on between you two feels like an HR violation waiting to happen," I commented once Mike was gone.

"I’m ignoring him," she told me. Well that much was obvious I thought to myself.

"What did he do this time?" I asked as I rolled my eyes and continued folding.

He missed his lectures on Monday and I was grilling him about that yesterday," she explained. I remembered when the two of them were bickering yesterday in the kitchen whilst Josh and I were attending to Louis and his guests.

"In fact he has been coming to less and less lectures this semester," she went on as she organised the cutlery to be put on the tables.

"Is something wrong with him?" I asked.

"He won’t talk to me. I know somethings going on with him but he won’t tell me anything," she told me. "He’s always been like this he keeps things to himself and doesn’t ask for help! That idiot!" She sounded worried and concerned for him.

"Mmhmm, that’s difficult," I responded. How do get through to someone who was usually closed off.

"And the thing is I can tell something is stressing him. I can tell he’s in pain I want to help him

I got closer to Megan and placed my hand on her shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. I could only imagine what it was like to care for someone and want to help them but have no way

"You’re a good friend Megan. Although there’s nothing you can do to force him to share with you what’s going on with him. The only thing you can do is continue to show you’re there for him whilst giving him the space he needs," I recommended.

"I see,"she responded

"Also, I’m sorry if I’m overstepping but can something a little personal?" i started.

"Go ahead," she said.

"Are you two dating?" I asked her. The two of them seemed really close despite their constant bickering. I knew they were good friends. However, the energy between them at times was as if there was something going on between them.

She scoffed at my question. "Mike? My boyfriend?" She said then proceeded to laugh. "I don’t think he has the courage to ask me on a date!"

My eyebrows raised at he response.

"If he can’t talk to me about whats going on in his life, I doubt he can confess to me," she told me.

From what she was saying it seemed her and Mike both liked each other and broth seemed to be aware that one liked the other but could not confess.

"Men and relationships are so weird and frustrating!" Megan complained and sighed.

I chuckled lowly hoping Megan wouldn’t here it. Young love was interesting I thought to myself. Overly complicated for no reason. You both looked each other both know it so go for it!

"What’s your husband like?" Megan then asked me.

"What?" I asked her in surprise. I don’t remember ever having told her that I was married.
