Dear T,

Why did I have to bring that up? Or at least, why did I bring that up near the end of session today, rather than earlier in the session or else yesterday? I mean, I guess better than bringing it up Monday, but...

OK, the real question should be: Why did you have to react like that? Rather than blaming myself for something I don't think was such a strange thing to ask about or want.

I don't think this is going to be a rupture or anything, but I do feel bad about it. You could have explored my feelings behind it instead of just going sort of cold and weird. I mean, I don't see why emailing you like a sentence to let you know how H's surgery went is some huge ask or crossing some sort of friendship line. Like you said, we've been talking about this for weeks. (You apparently thought texting, but I made it clear that it wasn't.) And you're the one who's been self-disclosing all over the place lately. And it's not like I want to text you pics from a Taylor Swift concert.

If it wasn't a Friday, I'd consider emailing about this. But I should just do my best to let it go. As I'm stuck in the house due to the rain and trying to keep H from getting sick before his surgery and when I have zero work to do. Which is the perfect way for me to put things out of my mind. Not. Sigh...

Love,
LT
