Freaky coincidence

[jj33]

This is so weird I had to share it. About 2 years ago I started speaking to a life coach/therapist. Of course xMM figured largely in our conversations and she was pretty clear that she didnt like him but that wasnt the point of it all, the point was how I felt and how I was acting and reacting to things and processing things.

 

Whenever she would say I dont like him I always thought she meant that based on what I said.

 

Well the other day I said something about his W and she said yes thats true and actually shes x and essentially let slip that she has met them from time to time.

 

It was really weird because she hasnt seen them to speak with them in about 15 years (more recently its just been across crowded rooms every once in awhile and they are both quite tall so you see them even in a crowded room) and I doubt they would remember her as she is very low key and they werent friends directly.

 

Anyway it was a bizarre coincidence and it gave me a lot more faith in her assessment of things that I thought we were speculating about. Turns out she wasnt speculating!

Yes, that is bizarre and freaky!

I asked her why didnt you tell me you knew them and she said its not relevant and its not about me its about you and I dont really know them etc etc

 

But there was a very public rift in their marriage a long time ago and he had told me snippets of it but I never quite got all the facts straight in my head and she knew all about it (I found out yesterday). Its so long past the A that the information no longer is not as interesting to me as it was, but she did tell me about it because she was more part of their wider circle then and knew about it.

 

She wouldnt go into too much detail but she did fill in some of the blanks. And this "agreement" that they have with each other to grin and bear it (the M) apparently stems from that and it kind of made more sense to me. But it still seems a stupid way to live but hey thats their choice.
