I'll Keep Your Secret

Without going into details I fell for it. She contacted me, saying she knew I was her only real friend. We talked. We had a lunch.
Coming back from the men's room I overheard her on the phone: "We're having lunch. He thinks everything's alright. Yeah he's nice but he's just an old man. He's nobody. He's something to kill time and get a free meal."
I motioned for the waiter, paid the check and left her at the booth. I didn't say goodbye. There was nothing more to be said.

I'm putting my account on 'vacation mode' and taking a break from SW. I know you're probably tired of hearing about her.
I'm simply tired.

I thank you all for your time, kind words, humor, and understanding. I feel so incredibly socially irrelevant.


Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you.😞

But I agree that it's better that you found out now rather than later.

And I definitely agree with Grace2016 that what that girl said, and did, says a great deal about her but says nothing about you. I'm afraid I don't know you, but from what I've seen of the comments on here, I'm sure you must be a very good person, and not at all socially irrelevant.

So I can understand needing to take a break for a while, but I hope you don't give up altogether. You deserve better, and one day I believe you will do better.🙂
