G is someone who is very close to me. We have been friends for the longest time and he understands me almost perfectly. Throughout the first 26 years of our lives, we have shared many experiences together although there were pockets of time when we lost contact with each other. Despite all this, he still understands me that well.
Things have now changed. I am married and he has found himself a girlfriend. I sometimes wonder if we are still able to do things together. I mean, we go to movies together, travel together, try out new restaurants together, explore new things and places together and so on. Now, we have different people to share our lives with. Will we lose our friendship? Will we lose the fun that we used to have together?
While his girlfriend is a very nice and sweet girl, my husband is not so out-going. So, it is near to zero possibility to create a couple group and have fun together.
At the same time, I do not want to impose or intrude into their lives as they embark on this special journey together. This is their journey which they have to experience together and share the stories with their children and children's children. I give them my blessings and I am truly happy that they have found each other. The flip side of the coin is, I know that I have to let go now and accept the fact that we simply may not have so much time to share together in the days to come.
