Her Wedding

In the past 2 months I have been "good". That is, silent, without any attempts. She has been quiet too - no emails.

Her wedding is shortly. I have no idea what the "etiquette" here is... I wish her luck and the very best, but should I send her a card? Or give her a present?

This wedding is after all involving two people, and I do not really care for the other half. Also, it would be weird to bring myself into memory here, and attach myself forever to this wedding by adding my card and present there. I do not like or approve this wedding, but who am I to say anything about it? I shall remain quiet, and swallow my disapproval.

She shall go through marriage hell like anyone else does, and then after her divorce we can talk again...

ok, I am a bit cynical here. Do not really mean to be so mean...

Soon it will be final, at least "final" for a while. Maybe that wedding / marriage stuff will work out for her, maybe she is happy with it, as she imagines now that she would be.

And I will then stay back. Not "waiting in the wings", no, this is not what I want, to be there "just in case". No, I have my pride too (really?). I will stay out of her way. If she would need me, she would have contacted me already. But she does not, so what is the point?

--- That was a long and dumb story, I must say. What did we learn from it? Nothing, as usual.

Moving on, to pastures greener...

I still feel that this is not yet over... well, I will have to wait for a few more unhappy years. The best would be to move on, literally, to move physically away. The world is big, there are nice places, good job opportunities everywhere....
