Wow! The last time we talked I said that I called her and got everything out in the open. We talked for over an hour and she didn't answer her husband's call during our conversation. She even commented that she would need an excuse totell him why. So, the next week we talke a few times and I told her thanks again for talking with me. She said that she was glad we were talking again. I thought it would be a nice jesture and send her a friendly e-card since we talked. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do. She sent me a reply to the card never to email her again and that I have gone overboard with the "friendship crap". Her exact words. She went on to say she is tired of the "crap" and doesn't want anyonebeing "misconstrued". I couldn't let that go and replied back with how I really felt and told her I didn't need this kind of friendship which has caused me more problems than what they are worth. I told her I was being honest and that she needs to be honest with her husband before it is too late. I'm fed up with the whole thing now. I can see now that she really didn't want to be my freind but at one time needed me to be her friend.
She is like a Dr. Jeckyll and Mrs. Hyde!
I'm glad that this friendship didn't turn into something more serious than it was to get mixed up with someone like this.

WOW is right! I'm glad you're fed up - you deserve a much more balanced, kind woman (who's single).

Hey, wait a minute - are you single or married?

Actually I found her 25 years ago and didn't realize what I had but the best thing that ever came into my life. Sometimes you have your tests or temptations in life. I'm glad I was able to get out of this situation before it was too late. With friends like I thought I had...who needs enemies. In this case they were one in the same.

"We have met the enemy and he is us," - was that Winston Churchill?

Maybe you're setting yourself up for pain, disappointment, and heartache, bd1961. Maybe you are your own worst enemy.

I probably am my worst enemy but I am past this one and will get over it. It makes me more angry and yes, disappointed that I got involved. My self-esteem has always been low and I need to work on that. Maybe that is part of the co-dependency.

Ah, sweet mystery of life.

Your self is the entity throught which you experience all of existence, time and space. The more you are able to develop yourself, the more you are able to experience.

Your self is a pretty nice thing to have around. Think of the alternatives. happy

Moving on is a good thing.

Anger robs you of happiness.

» bd1961 - Moving on & Letting Go


Well after months of not talking and getting the rejections, we finally talked but I guess that was a good-bye because we are back to not speaking but that is ok with me. I realized what I was looking for wasn't in her and she seems more unstable than what I ever thought. It is probably healthier this way also physically and mentally. Co-dependency is tough.
