Don't worry they are single ladies! I'm in no hurry to pursue any relationships or entanglements at the moment. S is my main priority but it is nice to have a few adult conversations and a bit of GAL. As I've said before I don't expect W to come running back any time soon as her relationship with OM has been over a long time. I just refuse to be the cake she'd like to have! I'm going home for Xmas with parents as I need a change of scene then a quiet New Year. I've work to plan then start to think about 2017. I suppose the most positive thing is that even on the darkest days I believe I'll be all right and what ever happens I've tried to be as honest,loving and fair as I can. I have a wonderful S, a good job and some nice people around me.It has taken time and still isn't over but I've accepted W is unlikely to be in my future. It saddens me, 25 years is a long time but I always said I couldn't be her friend. I suppose D will come eventually but for the moment it suits us both to leave things as they are. Tomorrow will be uncomfortable but at least S will be there which will stop W going overboard with the lovey dovey stuff she still likes to do if we meet up alone. I won't lunch with her, just a handover of books and a Merry Xmas
