Friend attempt update

Hi all! Thanks for your words of wisdom/advice on the trying to be friends front. It was pretty amicable while it lasted, but it only lasted 5 days. On the evening of the fifth day we hit the wall again and ended up in a three hour text fight about our breakup. Oh well, at least we gave it a try. Back to NC.

I was wondering how you were doing KC. Do you think you will try the friend thing again? You seem to be handling this fine... .

Hey Tater Tot-- I don't think we'll try the friends thing again, at least not for a while anyway. It seems like it would be all on her terms and just about her needs, so that didn't seem to bode well for a friendship even if we could have avoided the fight. I'm doing okay though tomorrow would have been our 1 year anniversary. It was tomorrow night a year ago that I told her meeting her felt like being hit by a tsunami (then I meant it in the good, bowled-over-by-love sense, but after a while it felt like a tsunami in the not-so-good sense :'( )
