It's great to have you back. So far I've been doing fairly well on restraint, even though I want to reach out and reconnect with her. However I do realize that it will be on her own time, so I'll let her figure it out. Things seem to be smoothing out over all so I'll just ride the wave and see what happens. I've been keeping myself busy and seeing some successes there.
I hope your new place is nice. I'll have to make my way back up to that part of the woods again some day, it's been way to long. A few people I grew up with I think live in that neck of the woods, I'll have to check.
One thing I find difficult is getting out and doing activities with friends when my R sucks and theirs seems to be great. To often I find myself tired of making excusses for why I really am not in the mood for group activities, to me it just makes the problem stand out. Watching W have better interaction with OM in a group, kind of ticks me off. In a way it's embarassing when the OP figures out that maybe their interaction is irritating me, they feel embarassed and it strains relationships. I like to have friends I can trust, her behavior in this manner only causes mistrust, both with her and the other friends. So as usual I will work on as if.
