This ^^^ This is what living your life and moving on look like.
Re: Biologist guy. So, no sparks ... but you will see him again. Yes, that makes sense. Alt least to me it does. Glad you will see him again.
Chatting it up eh? Lol. Good for you. I didn't really date all that much either, so I completely get where your coming from, especially being friends with guys. Yes, I too was that girl/young woman.
What I most love about your post is that you've always said how uncomfortable and quiet you were in exh's social circle. Funny to me to read that the tables are turned here and that it was really in his face about who you are and what you did while he was off fixing teeth.
You were and are loved by the people you saw yesterday because of who you are, not what you can provide (a vacation spot), and that was shown repeatedly. I'm glad he had an opportunity to meet the real Cil through the eyes of the other wedding guests. These MLCrs make up some narrative of who they think the LBS is to justify bailing. A situation like this one certainly gives opportunities for reality shine through. I love your answer, "yes, you're very good at it (fixing teeth) but this is what I did."
I love that he had an opportunity to see how many lives you've touched through coaching soccer and how well loved you are by so many people.
Bet your bottom $$$ your exh took notes.
You certainly gave him a lot to think about without even trying and I LOVE IT.
Perhaps that's petty of me BUT ...
I'm human.
Keep dropping the rope Cil. Keep living your life for yourself. xoxoxo So proud of you!!!! mwah :*
