hmmm… what?
…and, strangely, I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I know I should be upset, but… I’m not. No crying tonight, that ship sailed long ago.
There is SO much I could say to this person. But this person just cannot accept the fact that they might be wrong and so it’s pointless to keep going around in circles. And, frankly, I can’t deal with people like that.
Moral of the story? Don’t try to fit someone else into a mold you’ve designed, it will always blow up in your face in the end… I am not a follower.
Nothing more.

I guess I’ve missed this coming and going in your stream Val. Really sorry to hear you’ve lost a friend. Sometimes friends do argue and seperate, but sometimes we find they weren’t as much friend as they were traveling companions for a ways down the road.
That makes that time no less special that we’ve experienced together, and doesn’t reflect poorly on either individual. It’s just sometimes we come to a parting of the ways. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be back on the same path in the future.
A fellow traveler,
Todd

You didn’t miss it because I didn’t talk about it. ;-)
Yeah you are right – the good times are special. But I have seen how nasty people can be and I’m glad to be out of that. I’m sure they’re bad-mouthing me, but I really don’t care because Steve and I know the truth about me and well, that’s all that’s important. He actually told me to be done with them last fall, I guess I should have listened. Oh well.
Now I can move on and I won’t be looking back.

I’m sorry. It’s me, isn’t it? :(

I think sometimes one realizes that while a “relationship” may be friendship according to one person, the other person involved in the relationship may not view it as a friendship but as a rivalry or obsession or something. Jealousy is bad, and if it ruins a relationship, you can try to fix it. If the other person does not want to fix it, you have to see if you want to continue to try fixing it or simply move on.
Jealousy, lying, being a moron, etc all come together to form an evil cloud that can destroy a relationship. Good to know you don’t get along with hypocrites. ;)

LOL Amanda, of course not ;-)
Yes @ Bes, and sadly, I thought that when I became an adult the childish fighting between friends would end. It did, except this one time, apparently. Again, oh well. All I can do is move on and not care what anyone else thinks.
I don’t get along with hypocrites. And by hypocrites, in this case I mean that if you have a problem with me, say so! Don’t lie to my face and tell me it’s not me. Tell me what’s wrong so I can dispel your fears and we can move on together!

I’m sorry, hon, but you’ll be happier in life without this person! Smuck them!
