Pitch. I’ve never played it. I had to look it up. Looks good. Lots of variations. I’m going to give it a go next time I got some folks sitting around the table.

You asked why...I have sat on this and only come up with a surface answer. I'm not sure that this is it. Still pondering...
Perhaps you are reacting in the moment. Ponder the situation, outside of it, when calm and still. When more in your intellectual/logical car. Do you arrive at a different outcome/want?
This can help uncover the why of things. With knowing your logical reasoned path, you can follow it next time, regardless of temporary feelings/pressures. Those feelings are still valid and all, just not controlling/highjacking your path/direction.

He may be saving me from guilt (for not making memories) I'd carry after they pass. H and I were pretty content with each other's company and didn't choose to spend time with others all that often. Is this God's way of saving me from myself?
Doing. Instead of trying methinks.
I too find that the single life allows more time to invest with others. Another piece of that silver lining.
Time is one’s most precious commodity. Yes, less guilt and regret. Being sincere and genuine. Letting folks know how much they mean to you, while you have the opportunity.

Absolutely. Can always find room for dessert.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
