Starting with the weekend which is the furthest from today. A friend got married more specifically a former significant other got married.
Now, before you go all shouldn’t this be in the WTF Wednesday file. I stop you and say, No it shouldn’t. I’m not sure if this is an odd thing or not but most of the women with whom I’ve been in relationships still talk to me and at least on some level consider me a friend.
Sometimes it is just hard to maintain those friendships because of distance and other reasons why friend don’t always remain close. I don’t really ask about it so I don’t know if this is odd or not but people seem to think it is a little strange when I mention it.
Anyway this friend AKA Texas asks, hey if I invited you to my wedding would you come. I said yes immediately. Then asked if there was a section for exes that I would have to sit in, she said no, that I was allowed to sit with everyone else like a regular person. See I am a regular person.
The way I see it is everyone has a past, no matter who you are and everyone will have a future. Now you may or may not be a part of that future just depends on how you deal with things. We never got that far in our relationship and this relationship seems to make her happy. So who am I really to say one way or the other if it’s a good one or not. It’s her life to live how she wants not how I or anyone else thinks she should.
When ever I mentioned I was going to Texas’s wedding, people would say, “Really, why the hell would you do that?”
I thought why wouldn’t I go? We were friends while we dated, and remained friends afterwards. Friends celebrate things in each other’s lives.
There were several people at the wedding who knew us as a couple and I got some pretty strange looks from a few people as well as some hey good to see you here. Then as the grape vine twists it was cycled back to me that some people thought I should not have gone and others who thought you know it was nice to see someone so evolved and able to be there. There were more of the latter than the former.
I’m not sure how evolved I am but I still don’t see why people can’t accept that people can remain friends even after they have been in relationships. Now I won’t say there weren’t some raw moments and hurt feelings at first. But in all honesty I owe this friend a lot because she was a key person in helping me to quit smoking something I had tried and failed to do many times before.
Her wedding by the way was very interesting and it was the first time I had ever seen both people cry their way through their vows usually it’s only one or the other. Mainly I’ve seen more men cry than the women Now many of you guys you may think you’re not in tune to your tears but you just might be standing there exchanging vows and looking across at the person whom you love. Just saying you may want to have that tissue handy.
This past weekend is the one which is respectfully classified. Classified not because it is OMG stuff but because I don’t always talk about everything in my life in here, there are a lot of things which are private and are not for general knowledge. I keep a secret well and don’t talk about things which should be private.
I will say that I had a very good time at one particular point and while I was nervous mainly because I was happy and looking forward to things. I don’t know where things go from here but isn’t that part of the enjoyment of life the not knowing, the anticipation and the looking forward to things and living in the moment. I’m still smiling a lot today because of that one point.
Sunday was Brand A’s birthday and I was able to meet her and Head Nod’s son for the first time. He is a very cute baby and seems to like me for what ever reason.
I got there a bit after several people, like maybe five minutes or so. But this worked out because my order was in later and when Brand A and everyone else go their food mine order was just going in so I was able to hold the baby and in a few moments of me holding him and doing the RLS leg bouncing things he was knocked out sleeping which he wasn’t doing for some reason. He didn’t seem fussy at all but now I guess I can add baby whisper to my list of nick names. Doodle came down at one point and hung out for a few minutes, was good to see her. I asked how she had gotten so tan this early in the year and she said, I was born this way. To which I said I was there No, and then someone else pointed out that it might have been believable if I didn’t have a very Irish complexion, i.e. very pale.
So it was a good weekend.
