Ngl adult friendships require GRACE. People are very busy. People are HEALING. People are GROWING. People are taking time for SELF CARE just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in don’t check out.
We were at a party when one of his old friends the kind who thinks she’s funny said,
“If you ever get tired of her, you know where to find me.”
She smiled like it was harmless.
Before I could even process it, he said, “I don’t entertain disrespect. Especially not toward my wife.”
No laugh. No “she’s joking.” No softening it.
The room shifted.
He didn’t protect my feelings quietly later. He protected my dignity right there.
And I realized something that night loyalty isn’t what someone says in private. It’s what they shut down in public.
Elegance in Bloom 🤍
