I should say I'm not going to be her friend because it's the only option she is giving me. My job was husband and best friend. In her eyes I was bad at my job and so I was fired. With the option of staying around for a lesser position with less pay and benefits. I could hold onto it because it's a job. Or I could look for something I want to do. Be self employed and look after myself and my kids. Sounds like a better option for me
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
