GFI, you're right of course. I'm solid intellectually on the concepts. But the fact that she's running with it, and sticking the fork in verbally, is hard to take. She's not being deliberately cruel I don't think -- she's just taking too much away from The Outing. "Wonder what it will be like to have sex with someone else?" That sort of thing. Really, I don't know what to think about that. And I don't think it's unreasonable that I feel that way.

Sheesh.

But she's acting "as if" -- as if we're buds, hardee-har-har.

And that puts me back in that same terrible black hole feeling I had in February. Bugger.
