I have done everything wrong....

[Queen_of_Swords]

Hold onto the letter for a few days, think about it.
There are 4 levels of friendship...

There are aquaintances: these are people you see regularly, you know their names and a bit about their lives, you share small talk with them about the weather or what team won the game last night. A good example of this level of friend is the barista at your favorite coffee shop or the server at your favorite restaurant that knows your “usual” order. You’re on a first name basis and are always friendly toward them, but you wouldn’t invite them to your weekend BBQ.

There are casual friends: these are the friends you play with. They’re always up for a night out on the town, going to the beach or starting a recreational softball team. It’s a group of mutual friends and their families who get together often for social events. However, you rarely have serious discussions about happenings in the news, religion and spirituality or major life events. This level of friend is strictly for having fun.

There are freinds you share interests with and invite into your personal life. This level of friend is one you turn to for advice. You trust their input and value their opinions. They may be more educated and well read than other friends. They stay abreast of current events. You’re comfortable with these friends and can bounce any idea off them without fear of being laughed at.

There are intimate friends that you invite into you personal life, know all about you and history, perhaps been with you since kindergarten and like/love you anyway. They "get" you.

Your wife may no longer be in the innermost circle of friendship anymore and considering the situatuion that's fair.

Do you think you can put her in one of the outermost rings of friendship?
