Yikes. I can't deal with that level of activity.
I sedate myself in protest.

Your comments are right on, as usual. Confusion is the operative word.

If you've noticed, there's been cordial two-way correspondence between myself and the person I spoke of. I'm glad. I'm okay with the way things stand between us right now. I'm not going to obsess or speculate about what may happen in the future between us. The fact that the bad feelings are easing is enough for me, and I believe her as well. After all we've experienced together, I'm grateful that we're able to ease away from the hurt feelings.
