Yesterday was hard, going through all the pictures of our life together. W and I have been through a lot of unique experiences together. It wasn't until, at her urging and supposed support, that I entered graduate school and everything went to hell that those memories stopped. Oh well, it is what it is. Ultimately it's better that I find someone who WILL be supportive rather than someone who looks for a new companion at the first sign of trouble.
I didn't respond to W, so she emailed later saying she'd like to help and asked what my plans were regarding this week. At first I thought of dashing off some snarky remark, but decided she didn't realize how her offer was coming across and she probably was thinking she was being magnanimous in a difficult period. I'm certainly capable of doing likewise and should always take the high road.
So I emailed back that I appreciated her offer but was doing okay, that I appreciated the fact that both of us needed free time to arrange our respective homes so was trying to be out of the house before the weekend, and that I hoped she enjoyed her camping trip since the weather was so beautiful.
