I didn't mean she was your BFF. I just know that being in a mentoring position would not be good for my friendship with my BFF. She stated that if he came to sponsorship or friendship she would choose friendship. So it sounds like what she did. She chose friendship. If you are unclear on that ask her straight out. When my friends get on my nerves I tell them. I have been told to shut my mouth too. I feel one of those coming my way actually.
I seem to have avoided the game playing I guess because I really don't have any goals except for making sure I don't eat cat food in retirement. I don't understand what you mean by playing a long game with your husband. I married my husband because he has a nice ass and is reliable. Mostly for the hot ass though.
