Oh chepie sorry to hear your day was tough. You don't sound like a cow at all, we've all been there, and completely understand those feelings. One of the hardest things is , that every one else's life just moves on, while your swallowed in grief ... It really does rip your heart out.

I think I'm with freya on this one, you should tell them about Hugh, if you don't they're going to continue "rubbing it in", without even knowing that they're doing it, you know?

PAC- I didn't get a chance to reply to your thread earlier, and couldn't have the motivation to search for it now (on phone). But just wanted to say that yes, I do believe friendships run their course. It is unfortunate, but it does happen. Something very similar happened to us, we even bought a house 2 minute walk from At first, it was very awkward, but over time I've grown to not really care, and not invest so much emotion. I hope you can find peace in that your friendship is not as it once was.

Hello to everyone else. Mwah x
