Men-free Zone ~ The Non-romantic Relationship Thread

So this person who I cut out my life almost five years ago recently tracked me down and sent a post card that had a pre-printed message on it saying something about "People aren't always who you think they are." And she wrote some other crap about being blessed. Nah, witch. You are and will always be the same two-faced back stabbing jealous cow I know you as.

What really pisses me off is how folks can find your address on the internet. Remember back in the good old days where if you moved, it was damn near impossible for people to locate you.

:eek: weirdo... Is there a return address? I'd report that to the police.
 
One of my friends new SO grabbed for then held my wrist at the end of the night that we all met. Then he began stroking my arm.

The next day I felt off about the memory. Then after telling DH I tried to understand it by wondering if my face looked disappointed that they were leaving - which is possible. Still I think it was too familiar for someone elses SO and a man I don't know. I saw my friend clock it and look confused, but I prob wont bring it up unless he acts weird again. Sigh.

Definitely uncool behavior.

Wow! Very inappropriate. What did your dh say? Please don’t take any of the blame for this. He is a strange man that you just met and he is your girlfriend’s new SO. He was definitely in the wrong. So what if you looked disappointed! That’s a normal response to someone you care about leaving. Him grabbing and stroking your wrist is not. And besides, you were disappointed to see her leave, not him. I’d steer clear of him moving forward. And I feel sorry for your friend. He sounds like a piece of work. I know he caught you off guard. But if he does it again I’d make a scene. Make it clear you don’t want him touching you.
 
Thanks Hopeful. My DH thinks its inappropriate and strange also.

Definitely shook - it took a moment to process what was happening because it came out of nowhere. Good personal space and behaviour before that, and then he was suddenly very touchy at the end. I'll be ready if he does anything again, I tend second guess myself at first but it just felt wrong.

My friend - I feel bad too. Before that she was going on about how much she likes him, and he's the best man she's ever been with. I just don't think she's seen him in enough social contexts yet - its usually just the both of them dating, or holed up together. This is probably the first time she's been able to observe him around a woman socializing.

It's a family member so it's not that nefarious. But, again, I cut you out of my life. When I moved, I didn't give you any of my current information. Don't go looking for me on the internet because you are dead to me, heiffer!

Ohhkaaay...family. Yeah, it's always the ones who are beyond trifling and do you ridiculously wrong that want to dictate when and whether you deal with them. Then they want to play Christian Victim when they realize you're completely done. I have one of those. She had to learn again this summer at my family reunion how done I am.
 
I have an upcoming girls trip in a couple of weeks and I'm so indifferent about it. Like I don't not want to go but I'm not excited about it either. Maybe because it's not a place I'd ever pick on my own. I'm not buying new clothes, scheduling a hair appointment, nails, nada. I'll wear what cute stuff I have, I've perfected my wash and go, and I've been doing my own nails lately.

I've never been this meh about a trip.
 
I was so sad at the start of this year because of a long term friendship that finished out of the blue and being diagnosed with moderate heart failure (which turned out to be an error).

So happy now. I'm appreciating the friends I do have and a few great new friends I've made. I shook up a couple of the older ones who I noticed had got lazy and let me take the lead too much. I just told them how I felt. They have fixed up and are making more efforts to plan and initiate.
 
I woke up this morning from some good sleep disoriented by the sounds coming from the bathroom. Let’s just say I left the room and went upstairs to find my mother to ask her who drank too much. Now, the culprit is sleeping in my bed and I’m scared to go in my bathroom :look:
 
My beautiful, extremely intelligent niece got accepted to all the universities she applied to. The over achiever in me is annoyed that she did not apply to Oxford and Cambridge. I know she would have been accepted. But the lil gal did not even tell me she was applying early. So I did not get to influence her choices:look:

nevertheless, I am proud of her achievement. This lil gal did this alll on her own.
 
Christmas was fun, I hosted, so had family over and we enjoyed each other. I get a bit broody this time of year since I lost my mother, so new year's eve and day, I let myself feel that, today I am feeling a little better. I am feeling more hopeful, and have set my intention words for this year. May do a vision board party, or may not haven't decided yet.
