The song “Just someone I used to know” was playing
It’s then that I got to thinking about the words of the song
Actually, I looked for the lyrics and some words ring true
I got a call yesterday from a blast from the past
It’s a he
We used to be friends and things just changed and when he got married
I can say that’s when the friendship ended
There were jealousy issues with the wife so I stepped aside
I thought it’d be just one of those associations that will turn right with time
People grow up and most mature even if they thought they wouldn’t
Apparently I was wrong
Things won’t be as before and I’m not prepared to resuscitate that friendship
I’m ok with just the casual chat here and there and the obligatory hi’s when we meet
He’s not
He wants my e-mail and said he’s going to look for me on facebook
Old flames don’t make friends at all in my books
There’s that quiet time when the idea “what if” pops in
So best to avoid those chances/situations
Maybe he’s going thru a time when he needs friends
I just no longer trust people as much as I used to
I learnt the hard way that trusting people will make you see who your real friends are and that hurts
Like I said before, many ‘friends’ are associates in my books
It’s complicated, but so’s life
I’ll listen for as long as he insists on calling
I pray that he’s sincere in his intentions otherwise he’ll not like what I’ll say to him as far as this acquaintance is concerned
Correction, he’s not a blast from the past, just a good friend I used to have
Poeple often thought we were an item but that wasn't the case
We just got on so well people assumed it was becoz we were dating which is something we never did
We just hung out with other friends and at some point we both wre involved with someone else
He used to say that when a guy and a girl are friends there’s one of them who’s interested in the other and just won’t say it for the sake of the friendship
I didn’t agree
I was happy with us just being friends and apparently he was not
The reason I’ll take his calls is that maybe, just maybe, he needs help
I quit sometime being friends with just one of two people- issues come up when the other person is insecure or the person you’re friends with just says things they don’t mean and don’t say so
It’s complicated - sometimes

The opposite of optimism is not persimism,positive thinking is not negative thinking it's called sobriety.Which is based on a realistic assesment of life not ideaology.Your blog is sobrietic to some extent so are my comments as follows.A person who claims to be optimistic sees the world as a perfect picture which is not true 'coz the last time i checked the devil is still ruling this world.Even beautiful roses have thorns.So a sobrietic person will expect bad or good things not matter how nice the person or pretender might seem,and will not see pple who tell them what they think as ignorant persimists x10.This guy who is sprung on you is realising the wife you could have been comparing to the wife he has.Re-check the 80/20 principle.Why should you be the piece of the cake not the whole bakery or worse the icing on the cake.This guy's wife is open since she showed that she is jeo alousy and insecure for her husband to befriend an educated and principled lady.As compared to a wife who will pretend to be ok with his husband being freinds with a single women for faer of being kicked out.Be careful even if you're friends with a married man besides this guy you mentioned even if he is your "mentor".Potential hubbies will not understand.Don't make the mistake of going to meet your potential hubby with your married "mentor" even if he just needs a lift home.
I hear you. Like I said, it's in the past & something I cannot change. Now that I'm wiser, I know who to mix with and who not to. He's in the latter category.
It's sad many spouses actually go around looking for the 20% they cannot get from their other half and end up losing it all.
Stay blessed.
