Briefly: W was extra talkative this morning, happily told me plenty of intimate details about last nights outing with single GF and GF's man friend... it was almost like I was there. Plenty of eye contact, smiling and laughing.
Said GF was in the dumps last night because of issues she's going through with her brother. Brother is 50+, a drug addict and jail bird loser, trying to get money from the family. Said laughingly that the last time the three of them were together she (W) was the one crying, (no details why) and the time before that it was MF. Admits the three of them are messed up and have issues.
MF has been trying unsuccessfully to bag GF for years, asked W for advice. GF won't let him in, but still flirts with him. Details on last nights flirting were eye opening. He always pays for their night out too. W is starting to feel guilty about this and paid part of the tab on the sly last night. W often joins GF and MF on these outings. MF is one lucky SOB! (side note: W is hotter than GF, even though W doesn't think so)
GF asked W to join her on a Vegas trip. (FY thinks... OH NO!!!) W said she can't do it until after her busy work period, (2 more months) and she doesn't want to stay long or spend a lot. Also not into gambling. "maybe we can see some shows"
As you can imagine, W is more excited about the trip than I am. On the other hand, if it falls through or GF changes her mind, W will be fine with it.
W also told me about a long time co-worker who made big life changes. Recently quit his job of 30 years, to move out of state and get married. She admires him for being able to make a plan and move on with it... says she needs to do that soon or she'll end up 65 years old and stuck where she is. Did I mention co-worker is a gay male, marrying a female for insurance and convenience? He's a big FB'er and W is looking forward to following his updates.
As usual, I validated and encouraged her to keep talking.
GF came over to our house to pick up some vegi's we picked while at FIL's today. After a bit I joined the girls. GF is in the same business as me, so we had plenty to talk about and got along well. Afterwards W was very withdrawn. Went out the door with her new jogging shoes without a word.
Maybe she felt like I was trying to move in on her new life? IDK
Thanks for following, and as always, any comments, advice or jokes are appreciated.
