I know she is probably trying to spare me, but is that good or bad?
I'd say neither good nor bad, as maybe she did have a miserable time, or maybe she does want to spare you, and we don't know which. But if she *did* have a miserable time and *is* telling you so, what's good about it is that she feels she can open up and confide in you. That's good for bonding purposes. Just offer a sympathetic ear and validation, don't say anything back that may be taken as you trying to convince her that OM's not good for her, as it can look like you're trying to manipulate her, and then she may start clamming up instead of opening up.
Also, she still calls me sweetie and honey all the time, whenever she addresses me actually. Does that mean anything?... It is habitual for both of us to use pet names, but I remember reading somewhere that pet names go out the window sometimes (or more) when these things happen. Comments?
Maybe it's still habitual; maybe it's that deep down she still has some feelings for you; maybe it's just the way she talks. My ex still calls me "hun" and "sweetie" sometimes, I don't to her. I don't try to read anything into it.
you may as well call me Tim (sorry man, and many of you do anyway)
OK, if you insist. I was going to call you "sweetie", though.
