One can only say "sorry" a finite amount of times, if there's no chance of nookie...

Got a text from her today. She made it absolutely clear that our friendship is dead, but if I agree to never lay so much as a finger on her again, and never send her texts or emails, then we can commute together as colleagues.

I don't think so. She's acting as if I RAPED her, for Thread's sake![:@]

Guess that's the sort of risk one runs when one hugs women, and those women turn out to be neurotic. Oh well, lesson learned. At least this isn't America, where there'd be a sexual harassment lawsuit incoming...

No offense to my American brothers, but you do live in a somewhat litiguous country...[;)]

Morning tithe.

Last weekend with the GFU for quite a bit. [:(]

I will be putting that to the test soon.

Hmmmmm...... Goth cowgirls......I need to think about that for a bit.... [:D]

I'd imagine you can find them in Austin. [:D]

It the goth cows I'd really beware of.

There's something wrong about having your ac on in February.

No AC, glorious breeze with all the windows open. [:)]

I've been living in DC,Florida and Guam too long.[8|] That never occurred to me. Opening your windows is what you do when your AC (and power) goes out. [:D]

Not in DC, Florida or Guam. There you get stench, humidity and ball assed boonie cats respectively.

Morning tithe... Well, I've recombobulated myself (as much as possible), and decided to stop punishing myself over this. If there's something to recover, it'll be up to her to start. One can only say "sorry" a finite amount of times, if there's no chance of nookie...[:D]

In other news, I've found a new favourite machine at my gym. It's a stomach cruncher, and over Thursday and Friday, I crunched as near as makes no difference 10,000 pounds. Hurts a bit, but it's working.

Oh, and welcome back Bobo!

Good man! [8D]

Terminus, given your description of what happened, and considering your previous friendship, this woman's behaviour strikes me as being completely bizarre ...better off out of it.

That's my take on it, too. Where's my cord-cutting scimitar?

Ah, there it is!

SWIPE!

I'd say so to, walk away from this one. Either she's actually crazy, in which case you're better off, or she's not the friend you thought she was.

What is the backstory here? How good friends were you? Did you talk or text outside work..etc?

The overreaction seems absurd, so I can only guess that she has a bit of guilty consious. Were she acting in a way that might have been "over the line" or in a grayzone when you have a relationship?

Yup. Amen. Consider this the PC shot across your manhood bow. Alright, maybe not the best euphamism, but you know what I'm saying.

Been here before on workplace opposite sex 'friends'. They want the best of both worlds: the attention of an asexual male friendship but they don't want to cut you the slack that you would have for non-workplace opposite sex friends of yours. They want that legal ("HARASSMENT!") backing when things don't go exactly to their liking with you in the workplace-either in their professional relationship or their workplace friendship. You can also be the scapegoat for their own very confused feelings about their own relationships.

Being in a female-dominated profession is particularly challenging. With rare exception, I find it best to treat them as formally as possible. No personal delving or secret sharing of any sort. Your marriage is boring? Is that so? Gee, that's very interesting-not. Can we grab lunch together? Only if there's others in the group and we talk business (separate checks too, please). Do you a favor beyond what's expected of a workplace relationship? Don't think so. Carpool with you and you alone? Foxtrot that noise, sister.

Anyways, good luck, T. Looks like you'll get off relatively easy here-it may not be a bad idea to disentangle yourself as fully as possible-certainly in your personal time as well as your work relationship.

Too bad, comrade red mouse. That leaves a whole lot of time on your hands for AE tho-donnit?

We were pretty close (or so I thought); did talk a fair bit outside of work. There was nothing out of the ordinary about what happened, it was a completely usual end-of-the-day hug, which we'd shared many times before, and which I (as I've admitted and apologized for) ballsed up.

I hope she has a long and happy life with her husband-to-be and all the kids she so badly wants, but the conditions she's set for me being allowed to be on the extreme periphery on that life are unacceptable. So I'm walking away.

At least we don't work in the same department at the hospital, so I don't actually HAVE to co-operate with her.
