A Part Of The Past Just Keeps On Relating And Coming Back...


It's been over 5 months now, I had moved on and focused my attention to family and friends who are always there for me. Lately, I've been busy taking care of my own health...

My ex"Special Friend"'s stepmom, despite what had happened to me and him, had always been calling and sending me YM offline and online messages. She's so sweet and for some reasons, she likes me more than the new GF of my "ex-SF". I had wanted to detach myself from her too, so that there'll be no news about what's going on with whom. But I didn't want to be rude to her...She knows that I'm now assigned in Labor and Delivery, and being that she was pregnant (her first, and by the way, my SF's Dad is 63 [had widowed 2x], and the 3rd wife/stepmom is 29) at the time me and that SF parted ways, she always asked me lots of questions regarding childbearing and all, which I gladly entertained, with a condition that we will not talk about my ex-SF. This has been going on regularly, and not too long ago, my ex-SF found it out, and apparently "got jealous" (how immature! )that the stepmom is getting a lot of attention from me, something that I did not give him before when we were still SFs . I'm not sure if that is jealousy or paranoia? or both?

Guess what? She gave birth last night at 9:09 p.m. in one of the hospitals at the Rainbow State, and she called me right away as soon as she was admitted. She even asked me to be one of the baby's godmothers. They will have a family reunion this coming June, 2008 in Houston,TX and they'll fly with the baby to be christened there as well. Sigh! According to the tradition, one should not decline any invite to be a godparent, and so I agreed. What it means, is that I will have to see my ex-SF again, and this time with his GF. How uncomfortable is that?....YOU TELL ME!

Dee,

I know how you feel. It's just tragic. Seeing him with the other woman. I can feel your pain.

Ok, what you have to do is have a new bf from now til the baptism. If God is willing, it's not impossible. That's the only way to feel less uncomfortable. It's hard not to focus on them while you're all alone. Di ba???? But, think of it another way. You are one of the special Godmother and you are there for that baby.... not your special friend. OK... God bless YOU!!!

Dolly, sweet sis, thank you for the kind words and for keeping me on my toes. I am contemplating on what to do, but I guess, I will not want to disappoint her. Past is past, and if I don't really feel that comfortable, I will leave right after the first few bites at the reception or not even go there anymore...Miss you too! Muwah!

Tess, thank you for empathizing with me...I feel better knowing that people understand the kind of discomfort one has to face being in the same place at the same time, and this is the first meeting after the "split"...God bless you! I don't think having a new BF is about to happen though...

Dee,

Some dislikes us, and some adore us, what is important is, we behave the same to everyone. Enjoy, don’t let your life being controlled by anybody else.. When you get there, have some focus. If she is affected by your presence then that’s her problem.

Hello Edna! ...My apologies for not making it on your SPECIAL day, I had surgery 4 days prior to that, and I will still be out from work for quite a bit...But, I have not forgotten you and many thanks for those beautiful pictures of yours in Magazine covers...Thanks for your insight.

I'm not sure if "she" knows about who I am, but you are right, there will be some tension, but I should not focus on that...I am confident about myself, and I had moved on...She should know where she stands. And about him?...I won't allow him to use "her" to spite me. Past is past. I'm happy for him that he found someone new.

Gem, I would say your situation is extremely unique and all is well with all those concerned...I think you, being remarried as well, made it even easier for all of you, and made it really EVEN!...I'm happy for all of you...Well our friend, Jeff from Houston, and I haven't heard from each other for quite a while, except for some forwarded emails maybe......But thanks for giving me the idea. I'll keep that in mind..Once again, I'd like to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family for the demise of your grandma...God bless!
