What was I an idiot? Of course there's an OM...

Ok.. so I'll journal later, but had an odd interaction tonight and looking for thoughts on it. Figured I'd post it now and let people chew it over before I come back later to journal.

I got home from work and won't detail it all here, but W and I were having good conversation. During the day I had seen some posts on Facebook about my W's friend (who is my W's best friend's sister) having some major R drama going on, and I mean major (like soap opera level stuff). So my W asks me if I know what's going on with... let's call her Jess. I said I saw some stuff on Facebook. So my W starts to tell me the drama... then she stops and asks, "Did I tell you this already?" and I say no, I don't think so. She continues, "Are you sure? Well probably not since we don't really talk anymore" and her tone and non-verbals were of... regret? disappointment? and her tone got soft.

So what was that? My immediate interpretation was regret for the breakdown of our nightly talks about her day. Since the last "roommate" convo I stopped talking about her day. Plus with all my GAL lately we just haven't had time, and when she's grouchy or withdrawn I just keep my PMA and choose not to engage with her, lest I be infected with her Debby Downer worldview.

I almost asked her if she wanted to talk more in the evenings... if she wanted to catch up on her day and my day. But I didn't... too much, too soon, too much like pursuing I think.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.
