Being me, again, it's tough not being what I always viewed as the good, caring H but that's just the way it has to be. As far as CB, I actually felt good about last night. We interacted together positively and therefore that connection still exists, although buried right now. I won't pursue any further coffee times with her, I didn't get the feeling anything was going to change in the new year, but that's OK. I've left the door open and I will get on with my Living Alone and Loving It adventure. Btw, I think your analysis of the CB sitch is right on! By addressing it any further I would be losing face for her, it's better to let it be. I have to remember that she did try to be supportive and caring in a pretty unusual situation that, yes, went against her cultural norms by spending frequent time alone with a man who wasn't her BF. I must appreciate what she gave and not focus on what she can no longer give. She did give me alot. So, I did not make her the brunt of my hurt and resentment last night, I was personable,as was she, and we left it on a positive note. You couldn't ask for any better outcome at this point! I do miss her though but such is life.
