All is well here. I get a little edgy when I know that I won't have the kids for the weekend. But I have a lot to do, so hopefully I will stay busy.
My friend has invited me to a party Friday night. She knows that I don't have the kids this weekend.
Friend: Come with me Friday night the XYZ Accountants Party. You can be my "date" (she is female and, no...we are not dating).
Me: Um, you mean the accountants that H has contacted to value his businesses for the divorce?
Friend: Oh. Well then come the to ABC bar with us after the party for some drinks.
Me: Okay. Who all is going?
Friend: {After long silence) Fred and his wife.
Me: Oh. You mean H's divorce lawyer?
Friend: {Long silence}
We were all friends prior to all of this mess. Yet "Fred" doesn't see any problem in representing H. And he told my friend that he doesn't understand why I am mad at him. He says that this is just business.
And I understand that this is just business to him. But it is personal to me. And I cannot separate the two - sorry, maybe I an not a big girl yet, but I cannot separate the two. So my friendship with him has cooled considerably...okay maybe it is ice cold......
I told my friend that I am not mad at him, I am just uncomfortable around him.
And, I can't even imagine that it is wise to go to a bar, have several drinks, and hang out with your H's divorce attorney. I have a tendency to chat when I am drinking.
