I feel therefore I am... trapped.

Life is weird. I transferred to a new ship about a year ago, I made a few friends like always. One however I consider a true friend, not just an acquaintance. Today I get an email saying that he told his wife that he filed for divorce. we've been out at sea for appox 4 weeks! How did it go from the two lovers with a new born child on the pier to divorce. It's just confusing. no more game nights with friends. No more going out to the drive in. No more playing with baby Téa. What happened?!? I'm ranting I know. Now he's talking to ex-girlfriends, she found his chat logs. He's found a new girl on the ship to "Mind Fuck." it's like my friend of a year warped into a different human being. We don't even hang out anymore. I keep getting emails about what he says to his wife. He told her she was fat and he didn't find her sexually attractive anymore. Who says that to a woman who just had a baby! I work in an office with this person. I feel therefore I am trapped because I cannot ignore the plight of others.
Oh we had a tour booked together for the Philippines now he's not leaving the ship. He's been chatting online to another girl, I've noticed. He probably wants to sit on the ship sulking in his sad marriage talking to pixels pretending that there is something there.

Ok, done with my rant sorry.
