I just got an invitation from some of The Other half\u2019s circle of old friends, to attend a beginning of summer event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally speaking members of the group are okay people. There\u2019s one however who drinks too damn much and then becomes an asshole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NO, It\u2019s not me\u2026 I\u2019m an asshole ALL the time! I don\u2019t need booze to become one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the one hand I\u2019d like to see some of these guys and I\u2019m sure they have questions about the Other Half\u2019s passing. They deserve answers and I suppose it\u2019s out of a sense of duty to the Other Half that I\u2019m considering going to the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll admit to an ulterior motive in going because the asshole likes to pick on people he considers to be “less than”. This particular person is an academic elitist with an Art degree of some sort and considered people like me “less than,” in spades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not an academic, and I was actually involved in the production of goods and services. He’s always liked getting under my skin, it was somehow amusing or entertaining for this guy to sour every single party we attended. I was always restrained so that I didn\u2019t embarrass the Other Half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now<\/em> the Other Half isn\u2019t around, and he wouldn\u2019t be embarrassed if I just said exactly what I thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, even after I stopped going to the events hosted by the Other Half’s friends, the drunk elitist simply turned his venom on my Other Half. Within a year or two my Other Half stopped accepting invitations to their parties as well. I don’t think my Other Half had seen this group of old friends for at least 4 perhaps 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It might be cathartic, hell it might just be dang fun to inflict pain on someone that offended me and my other half on so many occasions. I can\u2019t decide if ignoring this particular bloviating asshole or confronting him directly and brutally would be the best path. I think I\u2019ll have to make that decision on the fly if I decide to go to this event in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will probably be the last time I see any of these people and as such\u2026 Well I might as well go out with a bang!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would like to spend time with the hosts and at least one if not two of the other guys. If it becomes too much I can leave. Since I\u2019ll be alone I won\u2019t have to worry about forcing the Other Half to cut the evening short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just got an invitation from some of The Other half\u2019s circle of old friends, to attend a beginning of summer event.
