Divorce, Separation, and Bar Hopping

So tonight I went out with my friend Alan. I met up with him at the Sunset Saloon in Springdale. We didn't stay long because 10 minutes after I got there, they were closing. Everyone wanted to go to Stacey's which is another bar across town. So Alan and I got in my car, drove over there, hung out with a few more friends, drank and played pool. It was ok. I mean I don't know Alan's friends very well, so I made the best of it. Alan of course got drunk AGAIN poor boy. He seems to be doing that more and more lately. I'm kind of worried about him.
Moving on... My friend Eve and River split up. Their one year anniversary was coming up. Eve is really devastated. She's doing better than I would be I know. River up and decided she didn't need to be living with her anymore. I wonder if she's met someone else, or just wanted to have more freedom; you know away from responsibility. That's basically what it boils down to. At least in my mind. If I saw River, I'm not sure what I would even say to her. I just can't believe she's done this. River came home one day and told Eve she was moving out. Eve asked when and she said "now". Eve told River she was going to have to tell Meg because it was she who was moving out. She lied to Meg; Eve's daughter. She told her she was going away for a little while... something like that. What a cop-out. Meg came out of her room saw that River was packing all her stuff and started crying. I can understand where Eve said "You can hurt me, but you DON'T hurt my daughter". Well as you can tell she did.
Todd and Courtney are getting the big "D". They've been married for a little over a year, but were together for almost 6 years before that. Courtney has issues I've never understood. It was as if she always relied on Todd for everything. When it came time for her to find a job after she graduated, she took her merry time about finding one. Maybe now that she's working, she'll realize what it's like to have to pay for everything like Todd did. He provided a house which he paid for BEFORE the marriage, love, and support. I always felt she was... well mooching off of him. I never wanted to say anything because I didn't want to hurt either of them. Todd IS my best friend and has been for a VERY long time. 15 years is a long time to get to know someone. He did everything in his power to provide for her. And now she's trying to take him for everything he's got. I hope she gets her stupidity out of her head and realize the sun does not rise and set out of her butt. She is sweet, but doesn't have the discipline needed; well that's my opinion.
