Very solid point. It is true that it is hard to give full context to everything. Though I do remember you mentioning this friend before.

Even with that context, I think you probably shouldn't have confronted over that. If nothing else now she will be more diligent about covering her tracks


True, I shouldn't have. Most of the time I don't feel the need to look. Sometimes something happens and I just want to know. Confronting her is another thing. This pissed me off.

Her explanation seemed honest. I put her on the spot and she's not quick like that. As you said it was the context and the characters involved.
I don't regret doing it. If she gets more diligent, so be it. If anything the event has inspired movement. Limbo gets old.
And things were getting too comfortable in this new normal. This adds perspective and a segway for me to pull further away. I am watching a movie with W as I type. lol
The pouty persona has all but gone. I have gained more distance. During the fight, she accused me of not listening to her. I said "S*&%, all I do is listen." This seemed to cause pause. I believe she realized that I have been listening and confirming. But who knows?
Tomorrow night I will be MIA.

Steve, don't think I don't appreciate your observations. I do. Even if it wasn't the intended point of the story. I can always use an honest constructive opinion. Thank you.
