Jordan text messaged me tonight and asked if I wanted to have a beer. I agreed and went to The Shamrock and 3 pitchers later, I went home after just having a nice conversation.

We discussed many things from my recent work stuff to movies to, "Hey, are we divorced?" I was just nice. One of the last things we talked about, I said to him, "my friends and family don't get me being able to hang out eith you." His response was, "My friends say the same thing. I told [new girlfriend] that I was gonna hang out with Molly, and she didn't get it." I told him that was one of the reasons I keep my distance. I don't want to cause discord. He said that was silly. It's just a lack of understanding. Neither of us have exes we hate or no longer talk to, and people around us don't get it that we still enjoy having conversations. Frankly, I'm glad we can be civil, or even more.
