Sounds like you didn't lose much of a friend in that bargain.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
suggested that I 'enjoy my freedom' and get over it. That was two days after Bartleby died.
Oh my god.
I suggest you enjoy your freedom now.
(I know that's flippant, and letting go of a friendship can really hurt, but -- you're better off without that kind of toxicity.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

She's lucky she still has her teeth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Friend", hell. bonny, sounds like what you've lost is the illusion of a friendship, not an actual one. Still painful, of course, but dang. That woman sounds like a toxic reality-impaired personality, and who needs that shit? Not you, and not now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What everyone else said. Sounds like you stood up for the right member of that former couple.

Compassionately intolerant

This actually made me laugh out loud so hard, I could hardly type.
Yeah. I think that's the plan.
She will talk smack about me to the neighbors, but whatev. If people want to join her in the hate corner because I officiated a wedding...yeah...whatev.
She threw my struggle with our mutual friend K in my face as proof of what I terrible friend I am. (You rejected her just because she moved away and got busy.)
Apparently, she missed the part where K called me after Bartleby died...arguably as upset as I was, partly because she really loved him and partly because she was going through the same thing. We resolved our stuff completely, as far as I know. If not, then it's up to K to bring it to me, not the 'friend' who badmouthed her so badly to me for YEARS that her sudden loyalty is starkly funny.

The thing is, she isn't wrong about what a terrible person he used to be. Seriously, TERRIBLE. But, he's got his shit together in a pretty amazing way. His wife is an absolute doll and they are extremely happy.
I would not trust him with some of the stuff that we struggled with before, but he's different now and I value what he is, rather than what he was.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Like that boy Namond on the Wire said "With all due respect, fuck you." Um, I mean her, not Bonny.

WHAT. Wow, I suddenly have an urge to go find this person and shake them like an Etch-o-Sketch.

ION, this probably should go in Lit, but: Teppy, get your hands on the new (last!) Vampire Kisses novel. I think it would be good, distracting fluff for you right now. It's adorable. (And I only knew about it coming out because Amazon emailed me and said, "Hey, you've pre-ordered all the other ones to get them on release day. Want this one?")
