Even Closer
People always wonder why I know so many people or even how I know so many people. I admit that I do have a lot of connections here in Houston but it's probably nowhere near some others that I know. All said, I am really blessed to have a lot of people that care about me and that is a good feeling. Still I am humbled with some relationships.
I was thinking about my friendship with Sean and Edit the other day and I suppose I feel compelled to put something down here. Sean has always been my boy and he always will be. Since he has gotten married that has changed but in a lot of ways for the better. I find that I often look forward to having dinner with them every weekend either Friday or Saturday night - I respect their marriage and they respect me being single. Somehow out of that respect and love for each other we are able to bridge the gap between the "single" and the "marriage". It's actually kind of cool because I don't know many married couples that make an effort to be around a single guy and I think the converse it true as well. Yet when the three of us are together, Sean and I still talk single stuff, Edit and I talk food, and she makes fun of me for being so pitifully single.....it's actually kind of funny the shit she gives me. I wuold have it no other way. I am very blessed to have them in my life and I really value the space between us.

Sounds like a great friendship to me.
You are blessed.
I have similar friends who respect my singledom, and I adore them, and, it seems, they adore me.
I would have it any other way.
It is so nice to be grateful for the "right now," isn't it?
I have always wonder why some friendships evolve and some wither and die.
After the divorce, many of "our" friends (people who were friends to both prior to the marriage or during the marriage) chose a side. The ex and I didn't chose sides, but they did.
