Old friends surfacing

Had lunch with an old friend today. I was a little suspicious about his motives, but it was fine. Just like old times! We had Thai, we chatted about family and got caught up. This is the same guy that I was bitching about a while back – the one who IMed me out of the blue. He’s the one who got involved with this psycho bitch who proceeded to force him to choose between her and his friends. He made a mistake and he chose her, rather than try to work it out with all of us. There has been a lot of resentment towards him from the rest of us since then. But, he truly has offered the Olive Branch and he has realised that his wife did cause much of the drama and strife that happened in his life back then. And he regrets it. So, in the effort to reconcile and all that, I offered him good behaviour on my part if he decides to put me and his wife in the same room. It’s certainly more than she deserves for the way she treated me. So. We’ll see if he ever tries to consolidate his life into one whole or if he slinks around and sees his old friends on the sly forever.

[That lasted less than a year. The psycho wife found out he was hanging around w/ me and put a stop to it. Whatever. He was always too vague for me in the first place. -A 2015]
