Since I moved back to the D.C. area I've started contacting old friends here, many of whom I haven't spoken to in 5 years or more.
Last night welbywife and I met some friends of mine for drinks, a husband and wife, now known as H and W. I really like these people, and we were very good friends for many years before I moved. I went to college with W, met H through her, wound up standing with H at his wedding, and actually saved thier budding relationship at one point by keeping my dick in my pants and telling W not to blow a realtionship because she was mad at H. W and I never discussed it after that night, and it never affected our relationship. She's smart enough to appreciate good advice, I guess, and knew that it was probably tough for me to tell her to stop and think for a minute.
We lost touch, more because of me than because of them, and we were really happy to see each other again. We picked up where we left off, just like good friends who hadn't seen each other in a few days instead of a few years.
Problem? welbywife dislikes W, greatly. I think this may have something to do with me relating the story of W wanting to sleep with me, and me refusing. I can find no logical reason for this. I told the story because welbywife mentioned that she thought W was looking at me "longingly," whatever that means, which I don't think she was, and asked what our past relationship was. welbywife didn't express her intense dislike for W until after I related the story. It's not an amazing story. She was mad, wanted to get laid (H was out of town), and I was available. I said no. End of story.
This is bad. These are my friends. The many stories of times we gave each other support, friendship, and love are too long to go into, but suffice to say that I was happy to stand with H at his wedding, and happy for both of them when they decided to marry. These aren't friends I intend to avoid for any reason, especially not one that appears to be a little misplaced jealousy.
This SUCKS.
