So I'm talking to this adorable Cappie guy friend from work, and he's pouring out the harsh falls life has given him. His absent father suddenly comes back into his life two years ago, after having three strokes. This young Cappie then leaves home and youth behind to focus on taking care of his father and work to support them both. Having little alone time, his Scorpio fiance decides she no longer wishes to marry him which breaks his heart. Not only are Scoprio's hard to forget, but she was his only serious girlfriend. At this point, I try to cheer him up "Maybe that's better that you didn't get married, because you'd probably have a child by now in addition to the three children she has of her own and taking care of your father. You're still so young, maybe its better this way for now" his face suddenly gets bleak as he replies "I can't have children of my own...." Ouch. Ouch. and ouch. I had no way of knowing this of course, but why oh why do I cosntantly have to say the absolutly worse thing ever. I wished the ground had just opened up and swallowed me alive ):

Ouch!

It must have been an awkward moment, but I'm sure he'll understand you couldn't have known and only meant well.

You couldnt have known! That could have happened to anyone, not just a lassie saggy with a bad case of foot in mouth. Actually, sounds like something that would usualy happen to me!

"Havent seen your father for ages, how is the old fella.... O... O I see... O dear..."

(: Thanks for the support guys. I felt so bad, I couldn't even get a good night's sleep. Here's this guy confiding his feelings, and whoop I accidently stomp oo them. The good thing is, although ackward at first he did continue being himself around me later in the evening (:

Caps are not good at confiding, so it can seem like they have tons of problems-which isn't true-they just don't whine a lot-I like them, they are great to have around and I am sure he will land on his feet-the best thing to say to someone who is a hard worker like that is-I know everything will work out for you-you deseve the best and you will get it-I am sure.

That's all you have to say, it's not necessary to go into predicting the future, after all you aren't psychic right?

Good luck with your friend:>
