Still in the Storm

[Jer2911]

There is no rhyme or reason for what the MLCer does or doesn't do. She may have become very resentful and jealous after seeing the photos of the vacation and trust me, they do not like for us to have a great time and have fun. They want us to be as miserable as they are. She also may not have been happy w/the fact that you and the GF were at a wedding together. Even though they don't want us, they don't want anyone else to have us either. Sick isn't it?

Yep -- that's what I assumed... Just all part of the MLC craziness... Sick and sad...

I wouldn't worry too much about being unfriended on FB. Right now, she may think she's punishing you because you are doing well and she knows that this action will bother you. Don't let her see you sweat! Also, she doesn't want to be reminded of what she's walked away from.

Good point Job :-) I didn't think about it in terms of "punishing" me, but that is very likely the way she viewed it. I admit my initial reaction was "WTF?!" and I wanted to ask her why she did it... But fortunately I have learned through all of this and I refrained from even mentioning it to her. I haven't brought it up and I don't intend to. And in all of my interactions since then I have been acting as if I never even noticed it.

No intention of letting her see me sweat.

Continue as you have been, don't allow her behavior to change anything that you are doing. Keep moving forward and being the best you can be. She'll get over her little snit when she sees you aren't reacting to it.

Exactly.

Honestly, I think she will regret it one day because when (if) she ever comes out of where she is right now she will probably miss being my friend on FB (being able to see my pics of the kids, interacting in a friendly way, etc.) and then she would have to send a new friend request -- which could be awkward. I would certainly welcome the friend request, but I'm not sure she has what it takes inside of herself to send me a request when she realizes that this action was a mistake on her part. Oh MLC...
