update on my sitch II

[what next?]

so, i went to see her lastnight to get some things (mostly mail) from her and give her a drill i had borrowed (my drill!) lol

we met at the door and everything was normal. she gave me the bag of stuff and i sat it down to talk to her for a minute. i asked her "how have you been doing?" ... she instantly teared up and was about to full blown cry. she did the same thing the last time that i saw her and when she did that time i left pretty quickly but this time i stayed and decided to just talk to her. i changed the subject from her to me so that i could maybe take some pressure off of her and started to tell her about my new job and how awesome it was yadda yadda.

as an interesting side note most of you know that i have primarily made my living playing poker online for the past three years and THE DAY that i started my new job online poker in the united states was effectively shut down lol. pretty crazy coincidence!

so, she was wiping away tears but laughing at my jokes and smiling a lot i kept the conversation focused on what has been going on in my life. i told her to let me know if she needed anything and left it at that. i had wanted to have "the talk" with her where i tell her i'm sorry that things didn't work out but that i just want her to be happy... i left without getting into that because she seemed ready to cry at any second. i think i'm going to start texting her this week with some light hearted contact and maybe work in a phone call or two. it seems obvious to me that she is not happy with where she is at and i think that i have a good opportunity to be a shoulder for her to lean on. that's just my take but would like to hear you guys' advice.
