Isn't it funny how the longer you're together your friends become mostly mutual? All of "our" friends were my friends, and they all love me very much. We were all a very close and supportive group last summer when I was ill. That's why his rejection of me from our "group" stings so much. And it's confusing, because the few times that I have ventured out to do something at a different location with business associates, he becomes questioning and snide. That would be the control, he wants to know that I am at home....waiting.
I probably will stop in for a glass of wine, and then just leave. Maybe Friday evening. My girlfriend and I have a retirement party to attend after work. We can stop in at the pub on the way home. I'll have to see. I've learned to keep things pretty loose. If I am not feeling calm I will probably just go home.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
