Wii..there's another context in regard to lesbian Rs and friendships. Because our social circles tend to overlap, you'll find that there's a smattering of exes and whatnot among our friends. Seems to me that the straight folks who break-up tend not to be friends, if rarely ever. In my case, I am friends with some of my exes to this day. One could make the argument that I was never in love with any of these women so the level of detachment is a whole lot easier on that front.
Not sure if Stubborn feels the same or not. With P, it is very different since there was/is a deep level of love present. It is heartbreaking to watch P seemingly move on with another R. There's the other matter of so-called 'closure' that tends to trip us up because issues are not really resolved at all and we're left hung high and dry. Not cool.
