It's been a little over 15 months since my former cruise partner and I severed our friendship. I will never go into a detailed apology for my actions, as I don't want to give her any ammunition she could use against me. (She's the type of person who would try to destroy a person out of anger.) Yet, I once sent her an olive branch to suggest that we try to repair things.
The other day, I mentioned something to the ex girlfriend - that I threw out a framed picture I have of the former friend. I don't want it anymore, and I doubt my ex friend would want it either. There is a touch of sadness here, as my ex girlfriend doesn't understand why the my ex cruise partner and I couldn't patch up things. The former cruise partner couldn't stand how I referenced her in my prior blog (she didn't like seeing herself in a sometimes harsh light), and I couldn't stand how she defamed me to at least two (or more) people I know. There are lines which two friends should never cross, and we crossed them.
You'll note that the face of the person in the center of the picture is obscured by her hair. I was lucky to have this picture of my former cruise partner in better times. (She wouldn't want her face exposed here.) Strangely, it was on the same ship on the same itinerary where we had a problems several years later. One thing I know, I will never cruise out of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal again....
