Good thing I was all caffeinated yesterday (still am) because I was up late on the phone talking with He Who Must Not Be Named. He called, and we chatted for several hours, catching up.

I guess a bit of history for those who haven't been reading my blog (or can remember that far back) for years. He Who Must Not Be Named was a close friend of mine (we dated a bit when we first met, but he wasn't interested in pursuing anything with me). We remained close friends over the years while we dated others. Then he met the Mrs., dated for several years, and got married. He ended our friendship shortly after they got married. I was really hurt at the time, but I let it go thinking that if that is what he needed to do for his marriage, then so be it.

So fast forward 3 years...He separated with his wife and contacted me sometime after. It's mostly been emails back and forth over the last couple of months.

He's one of the few people that I can say anything to. He's like a male girlfriend! We talked about our current relationships (I heard a lot about his ex), about what we've been doing over the last few years, and pretty much just catching up.

Of course there are 3 sides to every story, but he made it sound really difficult being married to her. I had no idea how much she hated me (or felt thratened by me or whatever). We never got to know each other very well because she didn't want to. Turns out it didn't take her long to throw out the wedding gift I got them (in front of his face). I have to hand it to him for sticking in there for as long as he did. He's still moving on and dealing with the anger. I hope he gets over it. He needs to get that positive energy in there! I think I have to thank my experiences with my hynotherapist for my current outlook on life.
