I recently told my friend, Best Lady*, about this blog. I don’t know if she has stopped bye yet, but she said she would. She was also a little annoyed I hadn’t told her about it yet. Hi hon!

She told us tonight she is going to have an important conversation with her boyfriend, Mr. Director.

They have been together, two years I think. He was in a relationship when they met, but it was ending. It has been good and it has been stormy. He has a temper and is very high strung. He often thinks he knows more than he does, is smarter than he is, and is always right. He’s not really a blowhard or know-it-all, but it can be very difficult to be around him. She is starting to realize that this relationship isn’t going to go where she wants. She has given a lot to him, and doesn’t always get in return. A few of us have noticed the tension lately (since fall) and she hasn’t seemed happy.

There is so much more to this story than I can write here, but I am so concerned about how this is all going to end up. I am waiting to see what she needs. I think the hardest part is how to keep his friendship. She is worried about him too. He has grown very close to her family and most of his friends were hers first. She doesn’t want to take anything from him, but she can’t sacrifice herself anymore (do you hear that?).

Best of luck BL. We are both behind you. You stood up for us, and we will stand up for you.

*When we got married my closest friend was getting divorced, so she was neither maid nor matron. So I decided if T could have a Best Man, I would have a Best Lady.
