CB was my Coffee Buddy! As I was in the process of separating from my wife, which took five months, I became friendly with a lady whose daughter went to the same daycare and dance class as mine. We began having coffee together while the girls were in class. I shared with her my situation and she was very empathetic. We started having coffee regularly. My hormones were on overload and I wasn't making good decisions. She also had a boyfriend and wasn't making great decisions herself. Finally, almost as soon as I separated, she just abruptly stopped spending time with me. Now, nothing happened between us except talk but what we were doing wasn't really appropriate either. OT was kicking my butt for that one, and rightfully so! Has that experience soured me on women? No, I recognize that I pushed something that I shouldn't have. I was validating my manhood at a time when I was feeling very undesirable. CB finally did what she should have done a lot earlier. Anyway Mish, that's the CB saga in a very brief nutshell.
