This is the point...

...where our intrepid hero gets to be the douchebag that goes back to his old friends, at the end of a particularly demanding year-long relationship, and says "hey, yeah, I know I disappeared for a year... we're still cool, yeah? Yeah

The group probably still thinks well of you, but yeah, sometimes they drift out of your life if they're really more your partner's friends and there's less natural overlap. You might pick two or three to make a concerted effort to stay in touch with.

>I never seem to be that good at building my own circles<

Me, too. I'm finding it rewarding to be forced to do that as a single laydee. I'm also digging having an FWB for just the good relationship stuff and none of the bullshit. ((((you))))

[stoopidfresh]

yeah, just gotta see how it shakes out. this whole thing is more painful than I thought it would be, though that shouldn't surprise me. still in the early breakup phase, tho... haven't had to do this in a while. oy vey.

and get down with your FWB self! ;) awesome. =)

Actually a similar thing happened with me and my last ex. Strangely his friends still ask me to hang out if I see them out... but they don't go out of their way to contact me. I think it's just awkward overall.

I kinda suck at keeping in touch with people as it is, even when I'm NOT in a ball-and-chain situation. I need to learn to un-hermit myself, methinks.

If only some of my friends lived in my neighborhood... ! ;P

[morbidiqua]

Well I'm not going to be in the neighborhood long... so get it while it's hot!

Miss you!

Just popping by to say...

[puffenstein]

We're still cool. Yeah. Yeah. ;)
