The strangest thing just happened…

One of my oldest friends just texted out of the blue after no contact between us for over 6 months. No specifics as to why we hadn’t been communicating.
And after showing me her wrist surgery scars and talking about various things from mountain biking to updates on family etc. She very casually says that she’s dating someone. I was shocked because she is a very married mother of one child who is 12/13. When I just texted back “Dating?!?!” Her response was a very vague “Oh yes things have been interesting around here lately” and I then asked if “everything was ok?” She replied that she was going to pick up her daughter and her bfs son from school and that she would need a phone call to explain everything and I said she could call me anytime she wants.

This exchange occurred last Friday and I have not heard back from her.
I’m not sure if I should text her or call her. I don’t want to pry but I do want to be supportive and of course I’m also curious too. A divorce would be highly out of character for her I would have thought.

I would text her just to say that the line of communication is still open. Like, "Hi. I'm always here if you want to chat."

@Trav2024 I think I will just drop a little message to say that I’m here and I’m free whenever is best for her.

@RunTheJulz Sounds like a good idea to me. I hope you rekindle that old friendship.
Sounds like someone’s getting their groove back. Give her a call and get the scoop.

@OlderSometimesWiser I don’t want to be too invasive and make her feel like I’m just interested in her drama/situation because I want gossip fuel.
@RunTheJulz She opened the door, might as well walk in. Shoot her a text if it feels more comfortable. She must have gotten back in touch to spill some tea.

@OlderSometimesWiser I feel like she def did get in touch to try and share something but I want her to be entirely comfortable with when and how she shares her news.

@QCDog2659 That’s what my parents said as they have known her since she and I met in kindergarten. Her parents and my parents were friends although they don’t really talk much since her parents moved away and she too lives 3-4 hours away now too. I’m guessing she’s revealing things slowly because she’s unsure of what to do here. Idk?!

tell her that your friends on SW want to know what's up

Why is she calling you suddenly.. is she dating your ex or something? 😳 or is it like a cry for help after slashing her wrists? 😳
YoMomma ·
@RunTheJulz ok yeah I'm hesitant to call anyone too 😅
RunTheJulz · 46-50, F
@YoMomma I’m not hesitant usually. I love the phone but I know that she often used to text me while she was doing other stuff at the same time. We typically talk on the phone when she is driving. I am the one who has a wide open schedule so I tend to let my friends pick and choose when it’s best for them to talk by phone.

@RunTheJulz ah ok ☺
