The result of continuing to listen to my friend's concerns...
A year and a half ago, a friend asked me to talk about “being cheated on by my husband.”
Up until then, my girlfriend and I were people who could talk about pretty much anything, and we laughed at a lot of stories.
She was pretty weak, so it's been a year and a half from that day until today,
I wanted them to recover, and I encouraged them by working hard over and over again.
I was encouraged even on the late-night phone call.
However, while I was listening to the story...
I began to feel that my friend was worse than my husband.
(It turns out that she was a wife who didn't follow up on her husband who was hurt by work etc.)
And recently, we talked again.
I casually talked about how well my work was going.
Then,
I don't want to hear that! and upside down & flames...
I mean, that was so shocking.
Loud, “Are you going to hear that? me?” I was told...
I wonder if all the encouragement and concern up until now have been taken for granted
I was shocked.
I wonder if my husband didn't like it when he saw her look like this...
I thought the day would surely be understood if I treated them kindly... my kindness
I regret that it was something different.
I can't really empathize with the other person anymore
I want them to recover if possible.
What is a good way to deal with friends like this?
I'd like to hear the monk's opinion.
