I talked to some friends, some GOOD friends tonight, and I feel much better, much, much better. I couldn't convince myself to talk to other people, nor did I want to burden people with my sorry situation, but really I didn't know who else to turn to.
One after the other, they sympathized, understood, and wanted to help. One offered sympathy and understanding of how I should feel, both angry and upset, another understood on a deeper level what I was going through, why I am justified to feel the way that I am, and offered without realizing it, sympathy that I really needed. She reaffirmed thoughts I already knew... but told me, without my telling her, what I told other people about our relationship. Yet another, offered, suggested an alternative solution, something I wouldn't have even considered, but the fact that he offered, I am grateful.
He has great friends, and I'm grateful that they are mine, too.
