She is an idiot. “She has a husband and you don’t”. Like having a husband is some special kind of accomplishment. Like she has a Nobel Prize and you don’t. And it’s rude to even say things like that. Weirdo. Hitting a puppy? I’d like to hit her.

Meetups are good by me. I am in a couple of groups myself and it’s a blessing. There are many that are only women and that’s what I like. Many choices. I have a group of three girl friends that I’ve met in a meetup that no longer exists but we maintain friendship and even do annual 3 day trips to various locations. I don’t make friends easily so I do have to make actual effort to maintain it so in that sense meetups are good as you have to make an effort to physically show up
