Just thinking about you and was curious if you went to the housewarming party? How did it go (if you went)?

Thanks for thinking of me! I did go. I figured it would be awful now or awful later, so I bit the bullet.

It wasn't really as bad as I anticipated. We stayed longer than we had originally agreed to (we originally said 1-2 hours tops, and we would bail if I needed to). There were a lot of people there so thankfully that gave me the opportunity to rotate between people and not have to talk to anyone for that long.

The weird thing was... and I guess I should've anticipated this... no one said anything. We've seen a few of the couples since, but the others we hadn't- and no one said a word. So, even though nothing "bad" happened it still left me feeling kinda yucky, you know?

On a side note- I spent a long time talking to the wife's mom. I had run into her in December and she had heard what happened, revealed to me that she lost a baby at 5 months over 30 years ago. She and I chatted for quite a while & she gave me her phone # in case I ever need to talk. So sweet of her. She is recently diagnosed w/ breast cancer and treatment is successful so far, but she said it's another odd social situation where no one really asks her or talks about it. I guess it's too scary.

I'm glad it went well for you! But totally can relate to that feeling when no one says anything. And thats great that you met someone you can talk to. I went to a support group this week and it was nice to talk to someone face to face who could relate.
