On the flight home after our little weekend trip, I sat next to a man and a woman. Sam was asleep on my lap for the entire flight, so I couldn't do much of anything except listen (or easedrop) to the people next to me. The guy was probably in his early to mid thirties, and the girl--a very skinny blond--must have been around the same age (however I initially thought she was 20 or younger--maybe this guy's little sister? Boy, was I wrong!). They were both LDS. It sounded like they had just met for the first time going through airport security. He sat was on the aisle seat, I was on the window seat, and the girl had already found a seat in the back of the plane. He asked if the middle seat was taken, and I had to say no since Sam didn't technically have a plane ticket, though it would have been nice to have not been so cramped. So he called back to the girl to sit by him.
Here's where it gets weird. They start talking, then pulls out his i-phone and shows off all his fancy toys, cars, and house. I hate guys who feel like they have to show off their money! For much of the flight, he goes through his 800+ pictures he has taken including his entire extended family and all the girls he has dated. He basically tells his whole life story: why he is still a bachelor, his life's goals, and overcoming his addiction with pornography.
Then the girl gets started. I found out that she couldn't have been 20 or younger because she is the mother of five children. Her husband hasn't been showing much interest in the church which has caused a lot of marital problems. She is debating whether or not to divorce him. She has even made a pro/con list of both options. This guy seemed very interested in her situation. It sounded like he wanted her to leave her husband. He got her number, took her picture in his i-phone, and asked if it would be too weird if he invited her to a singles dinner party at his house. Umm, can I say weird and inappropriate?! They didn't even know each other, and they were discussing some very intimate and personal things! She's still a married woman! I don't know, I think it's all a bit strange. At least it kept my mind away from missing Chris already.

wow. people never cease to amaze me. that is CRAZY!!
who tells someone they just met that they have a porn problem... especially because it seems like he was totally hitting on her. yeah. good plan, friend.
and the fact that she had to even make a list...and that she gave the guy her number, etc... i am pretty sure she doesn't want to be married to her husband.
Super duper creepy! Why in the world would anybody (especially an LDS person, who ought to know better, but still -- anybody) ask a married woman for her phone number? And why would she, even if she'd mentally checked out, give it? Yuck.
Unless it was an elaborately fun game of Pretend. If I were the sort to talk to people on airplanes (which OBVIOUSLY I'm not, lol), I might make up wacky stories that were not my real life.
I think I'm grasping at straws to make them not icky people, lol, but that's the best I've got.
CRAZY!! And you said they were LDS and they were talking like that?!?! Way out of line! Man people amase me! How are you? What have you been up to?
