[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 699097, member: 18958"] Wow! I loved your post Nomad. What a great friendship. What a great friend she is to you. And what a wonderful friend are you to her. I just love this. This friend let you be human and she allowed herself to be human. She minimized a problem when she could have made a big deal. She could of hated and diminished herself (over-reacting with guilt and shame due to her own humanity) or she could have blamed and judged you, as a way of diverting responsibility on to you and away from herself. She did neither. Where do you find these people? These good friends. It gives me hope. The limiting factor has been me, it seems. Not women in general. Me. I love this, Nomad. Really. Is it not this in a nutshell? The young supervisor at the horrible job said something that I thought was very wise. He said, when somebody does something that is out of line, the first time they do it, I let it go. I make the assumption that it is an anomaly. But the second time I pay attention. I tried to see his own misbehavior toward me in the same light. Tried. [/QUOTE]
