I have apologized to her, but maybe it's time to really lay it out there. We've been in contact off and on for the last few years, but I tried to sort of "cut her out" by changing my phone number. I think with all the drinking I've done I was never really able to get over her. And she would text me for advice on her boyfriends. I stayed friends with her on FB, though, and she requested my new phone number.
She contacted me to tell me she had moved and was working toward her PhD, and also something else that I won't discuss here but it was pretty bad. Didn't seem nice to not lend her my ear at her time of need.
I don't know. She knows (obviously) that I have a drinking problem. Maybe I could tell I'm working on that. Maybe she'd be supportive and this could be a mutually beneficial friendship?
Thought? Comments?
