More complicated than I imagined...

[Michael Mc C]

I've taken the recommendation and simply told her that I'm glad she's feeling better. No discussion about what occurred, nothing about whether it was appropriate or not.

'man up' - i love it

I was her 'girlfriend' when she first tried to end the relationship with OM. Kicked myself for a while about taking on that role. Our 'girlfriend' relationship only lasted for about an hour but the idea of it stuck around for weeks. Nuts.

This time though I think I got it right. As much as she may have needed comforting last night, when it comes to THAT, there isn't anyone who could convince me that it's my job or that it would be in my best interest. In fact, I don't believe it would have been in her best interest either.

Reading your story really got me thinking about an anniversary card. I don't recall, however, if you ever posted anything about the impact (other than her thank you). Since you began 'piecing', has the card ever come up in discussion? Simply curious, not trying to be too strategic here!
