What would you do, if literally days before you were about to get engaged and go on vacation, someone told you that a "higher power" (leaving it vague because I don''t want to break any rules) told her that you don''t belong with the person that you''re with, and you need to break it off?
That''s what happened to me yesterday.
Two days a week I go to this married couple''s house and clean. The wife has muscular dystrophy and can''t do some things. The husband is usually at work, so normally it''s just me and the woman...and over the course of time we''ve gotten to know eachother and have become sort of friends.
I''ve told her (maybe too much) about my life. I talk to her about my BF, and where I grew up, and how bad I can''t wait to move back there one day, and sometimes complain about my BF''s work hours, and how we hardly get to spend any time together.
I told her last week that I think BF and I will be getting engaged soon, and she looked at me and asked, "Yeah, but is he the one for you?!" and I said, "I think so!". I dunno....when someone asks me a question like that, I feel like they are expecting me to pull out a hanky and wipe off my forehead while I swoon over my prince charming. I''m not like that. I don''t feel like I have to sell my BF to people, and frankly, questions like that make me SO uncomfortable because people usually only ask those types of questions if they are getting a certain vibe from you.
So over the course of time, she''s kind of let me know that she has the "gift" of seeing into people''s lives, and when she sees something she''ll hold it inside until the "higher power" tells her it''s okay to release the info. So yesterday she sat me down and talked to me for TWO HOURS about how my BF isn''t a bad guy, but if I marry him I''m going to have a very mundane and boring marriage...and she is feeling quite strongly that I need to pack my bags and move back to Maine without him, because this isn''t in my "life plan".
So naturally I''m just sitting there listening to her tell me this stuff, and she is coming off as very concerned while I just sit there feeling extremely uncomfortable and PISSED OFF, yet I can''t say anything because I''m an unconfrontational boob. So I just listen to the whole thing...and she swears to me that she won''t bring it up again, because it no longer has anything to do with her, and it''s up to me to work out.
Yikes.
Background info on this lady....she''s 35, has been married for 10 years. Before she was married, she bounced around from state to state. She was heavily into drugs, and was a very well known dealer. Someone ratted her out, but she made a deal with the police to rat out the people above her and she got out of any jail time. Very soon after that, she went to this school (cult) where she slept in a trailer in the middle of TX with 14 other girls and one man. She met her future husband very soon after that. On their first date he asked her to marry him, and they''ve been together ever since. I''ve always gotten a weird creepy vibe from them, but they are both so nice that I figured they had to be harmless.
I talked to my mom about it, and she said that it sounds like she replaced one addiction with another. When it comes to this "higher power", it''s more than addicted, it''s like infatuated obsession. I can''t explain it, but it is NOT normal. But I figured that she was harmless. Now I don''t want to go back there....I''m freaked out....she has me questioning my relationship...(well not my relationship, but what I did or said to make her feel the need to tell me these things) and I''m supposed to work there for the next month and I feel like I don''t want to wear my ring there for fear that she''ll confront me again! I mean, is this crazy, or what????
