I recall that, at the time, he was playing drums in the bars at night for about six different bands and i was working Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 4:30. All of the things that were super cool when I met him, wore thin when it came to blending our lives together. He wanted to be a rock star and I wanted a “regular” life. I got into pool and developed a different friend group that he did not get to know at the time. So we were literally living separate lives. And he was somewhat depressed at the time so not fun to be around when we were together.
He is living a different life now. He’s got a 9 to 5 job. He still plays drums but more as a hobby now. He’s past the bar life and the rock star dreams. He has grown up quite a bit with respect to how he views relationships. TBH KML… not sure if this is a road I would want to go down or not but it’s just something I might consider if there are any romantic feelings between us still. I have only ever seen him when I was married to XH so that wasn’t even something that crossed my mind before. It will be interesting to see how we feel when we are face to face. It is more likely to be two old friends, with a lot of history together, taking a walk down memory lane and having a nice visit. I’d be perfectly happy with that.
