this past February, a friend of mine whom I have known since childhood abruptly decided to “take a step back” from our friendship saying we had grown apart. I know that happens a lot of times, but it doesn’t make me any less sad. Because I feel like his girlfriend caused all of this. Which is strange because I met her once and we were fine. He and I were never in a romantic relationship. We had always been friends. I never had a problem with him dating other women. I haven’t contacted him since except on his birthday when I sent him a message on Facebook saying happy birthday, which he liked. This past week I learned from Facebook that he and his girlfriend I’ve gotten married and I had no idea. I wasn’t even invited. I feel angry and hurt but at the same time I still see him as a friend. I want to send him and his new wife a Christmas card in the spirit of the season, even if we’re not that close anymore. All I was going to write was “merry Christmas” and “happy newlyweds”. Yet, I don’t know if I really should. Should I?
