H called me at work(again!!) but he always has a reason, never just to say "hi"but that's ok, anyways I make cookies for his bank every month as customer appreciation Friday, and they also wanted some for staff party tomorrow night, and in the process of telling me what they needed he asked if I was ok with doing it still. I said of course I was, why< well some *itch at his place called the person in charge of getting the cookies and told them that it will be a problem for me to do them, because "we are having problems". H told this other person what was going on, now mind you he has onlt told 3 people at his work, 1 is ff, I don't know other 2, but he trusts that none of these have repeated, so he was upset that people are talking. I said I knew that would happen. We live in a small town and are known well. He said how come some of our friends support us both while other people say things that they really don't know the truth, again I said people(especially a group of women)gossip and repeat and repeat... he said that kind of stuff does not help us(not sure what he meant by that).I said as long as we know what is going on, it won't matter. It is a cruel world out there. I have learned a very valuable lesson so far about gossip. While I like to hear the office talk, I was always careful who said what and i never repeated what I thought was hurtful or gossip.So h is dealing with "talk". I have not asked him why he has not told others. Is he guilty, ashamed,hoping for reconciliiation down the road, knows for sure that we never will????OR does he think it is no ones bussiness. I do not broadcast it, but did tell my co-workers on my floor and my boss(who has a BIG mouth). Just another thing to deal with in a complicated sitch. Gotta go, cookies to bake Bye Sue
