Well, my birthday is this weekend. Can I be the hot 42 year old?
Back to basics. W just left. She was supposed to come over for dinner but bagged. Showed up 1.5 hours late. We chatted about everything as usual. She kept acting like she needed to leave, but stayed and stayed.
Long story short, she started getting teary as she finally stood to go. Said she had a dream about my best friend and his wife, who she was good friends with. Then she said she didn't feel like she could contact them. I told her she had her own relationship with them, but he was my best friend - I didn't feel like I could contact her best friends. She said she knew that and then started crying and said she was sorry. I said I was sorry too, I wished things had turned out different, I had tried but it wasn't good enough. She stood there, slumped and teary, so I went and hugged her. She hugged me back and we just stood there for awhile, then she left, wiping tears and acting confused.
I feel like her decisions are really starting to hit home. But I don't know. Is this all just part of the process of divorcing? Of letting go?
