Pretty in Pink

[GoatGal]

Wonka,

I hope today was better for you.

I thought a lot about your responses and how we all have to decide what we can and can't put up with in our relationships.

For example, I am not a religious person by any stretch, but my best friend is an Evangelical Christian. We love each other, and have lots in common, have incredible times together.

But on that particular topic, we agree to disagree.
Neither one of us will change our minds and we accept that about each other.

We occasionally dance around the topic--very respectfully--just to share our thoughts.
But it's not integral to our friendship, even though it is a big part of how we define ourselves.

I guess what I'm saying is, sometimes friendships can be forged in ways we would never have expected.
I think there is a good possibility of a real friendship with Ms. Wonka if that's what you want. It just might look--different.

We are always being told here that in MLC we should never expect an apology for their actions, and that when things are over and done, to let it go if we want to move forward.

Of course, it's our right to want that apology, that recognition for our being wronged, but wanting that and getting it are two different things.

And I am not in any way trying to tell you what to do, I would not presume to do so.

You must do whatever it is that will serve you best long term, and let you sleep easily at night.

Anyhow, I'm thinking of you today and all the wonderful help you have given me.

If I can be of any help--even if it's to piss you off so you're focused on spanking me---that's a good thing.
