And then I laughed…

I read a blog this morning that I only read for morbid curiosity’s sake. I have no connection with this person anymore though we used to be close.

I read this morning that a former roommate of this person is getting married in a month. When I read that I laughed and laughed and laughed.

To think that when this roommate started dating her (now) fiancee, the person was convinced (convinced!) that their relationship was progressing too quickly and that they would fall into a destructive spiral ending their romance. In essence, the same label that they put upon my relationship with Marcy. Now, as you might know, Marcy and I are married (happily at that) and this other relationship appears to be moving in the same direction while this person’s relationships remains stagnant (though still existent).

Perhaps it’s mean of me to laugh at the situation but I did honestly find it funny. The final disintegration began in earnest on this day and I can’t imagine what life would have been like with this person in my life today. I doubt I’d be as happy as I am. Or free.
