Well, I guess I’m glad you were right… but aren’t you always right?

I suspect it’s often a big problem when friends become lovers and the relationship was not meant to progress to that level of intimacy.

This can affect other relationships. I was on a casual friendship basis with both of my current supervisors. The transition from casual work friendship to supervisor-peasant relationship has been deadly indeed.

It sounds like you might be able to work your way back toward friendship. I’m happy for that for you.

Some years ago I got involved with a male best friend. It ended disastrously and I always regretted what we did. I lost a friend I’d had since childhood. I spoke to him on the phone a little over a year ago and he was quite shocked that I had gotten married. We made plans to get together “some day”, but it hasn’t happened. I doubt that it will. Too much water under that bridge…

I so wish my ex was as reasonable as you. He still remains a pain in my ass. Actually, he’s more of a nuisance than a pain in the ass. Well, perhaps things seem to be improving but not fast enough in my opinion, lol.

I’m really glad to hear that Mina is moving along. There is nothing more agonizing than when one person refuses to let go. I know. I have one of those people hanging around.

Pan — I don’t know that I was trying to be helpful per se as much as simply sharing information. I left out the part of the conversation in which she told me that she hated the dog (but was still glad that it probably wouldn’t be expensive at the vet) so perhaps that makes more sense of my subsequent remark. Her response was meant to be ironic/amusing, and in context, it was hilarious. However,I thought it might present her in a bad light if I said she didn’t like her own dog. See how gallant I am?

Shawn — If you think that’s bad, try living with me. Yikes.

Vroni — Sounds like it’s a good thing that you’re in two different towns. Sometimes two different states really isn’t far enough apart.

Holley — Yes, it is a horrible place to be in, and I hated myself for putting her there, although of course I had no control over how she chose to handle the situation, emotionally speaking. So I am much relieved that she’s moved on. It was quite an ordeal for everyone.

Mr. Random — I do remember Carmen and her Doberman, which is probably indeed dead by now.

I have been pleased to note that a couple of my allergic friends are not allergic to my Bengals — I think possibly their saliva is different (as I’m sure you know, that’s the allergen, not the fur) because they’re partly wild. So, you know, if you’d like to have a weasel cat, just let me know. I probably have one I can spare. (Is your house fireproof? Firebomb proof?)

Elissa — But of course.

My sister in law always had Dobermans. The only way they died was getting run over by cars. They also seem to have hip problems. But, they were big babies and excellent guard dogs.

Are you sure you were trying to helpful? I think I would have replied just as she did.

Having an ex as logical and reasonable as you would drive me nuts.

It sounds like you did the right thing. I wish I could convey that to my ex but being that we are both in different towns, I’m glad not to have to. He wouldn’t be as understanding, he’d just be bitter still. Que sera, sera.

I’m glad that both of you got some closure…it really does make all the difference in the world. I’m also really glad that she was finally able to move on. What a horrible place to be in…to cling to the smallest amount of hope that someone you love will come back to you, when in reality there is no hope.

This was a long story in the making…I’m so glad that you shared the happy ending with us.

I am a cat person, though I am allergic to cats. I am not particularly a dog person, but as I wrote, quite a long while back (on Blogsource), I once, while in high school, had a close relationship with a Doberman, and a not as close relationship with her owner, a rather sad young black girl named Carmen.

I am not a religious believer. I don’t know how the universe began, so I call myself an agnostic. On the other hand, I don’t at all believe in life after death, so I am pretty sure when I am dead, I will indeed be dead.
