Did she really persuade you or did you do it willingly to spend more time with her and the family? That is what I did. You just get so busy with family life and you really enjoy your W, so you let other friends slide. Happens all the time FFH.
I'm guessing that the positive things that happen to our W's will feel like kicks in the stomach for a while, but that will also pass. I'm glad you will find time to reconnect with old friends and you are excited about the lunch, but just be careful. Don't jump into anything too quickly. Rebound relationships are tough.
