I’ll have another …
I’m pissed.
No. I’m sad.
No. I’m mad.
How about pissed, sad, mad.
I could take a dump from a romantic partner.
Done plenty of that. And received plenty.
But it’s a BITCH gettin over a dump from a sistuh.
The last time a friend dumped me I knew exactly why.
It was 27 years ago.
And I deserved to get dumped.
I was consistently inconsiderate. And – well – a narcissist.
In other words — young.
And though I deserved it, I think about her every – well let’s not get dramatic – how about – every other day.
Because she was unique. Crazy smart. Super talented.
And one special Broad.
So grateful she is too cool for social media. ‘Cause I’d be a secret stalker to lick those wounds. Yeah, after 27 years.
“Maybe it is that you say things to your BFFs that you would NEVER tell your lovers.”
Why is it that we recoup from romantic breakups? Eventually … And not this?
Stewing, I found a podcast @eifpodcast on this very subject —
They talked about the “closure” theory. That closure ends romantic relationships.
But there’s often no “closure” in friend dumping.
Well. I dumped and was dumped in all kinds of ways romantically.
With often – no real closure. So that theory no help.
Maybe it is that you say things to your BFFs that you would NEVER tell your lovers.
You not only DISH – not only soul talk – you pour your guts out. And they get it.
Did you see that Jane Fonda bit on friendships all over IG?
Talking about attractions — drawn to women who keep her rigid back even more rigid. I liked that. You aim high — especially as we age — no room in your closet for just “hang out” friends.
Maybe that’s it. You are (or perhaps I am) more fussy about my friendships than I am about my lovers.
We won’t analyze that here.
Back to the dump.
Did it have to be during Women’s history Month?
And now — after all those martinis, mega laughs and slobbering cries — making our legacy officially history?
Why is it sooooooo hard to break up with a pal? Your comments may ease my heart. And help me to stop thinkin about the bitch.
