Just listen to me a minute. I understand. It was the same with me and Suzanne. I mean, we were together almost as long as you. And when you guys got married, I鈥檓 gonna be honest with you, it f#&ked me up. I mean, we鈥檙e not old people, the three of us, and you two made this commitment. This lifetime commitment for the rest of your life. And no matter how much you love someone, that鈥檚 a lot. And it freaked me out. And I think it freaked Suz out, too, because things got bad between us really fast. And I did things that hurt Suzanne. And I did things that would have hurt Suzanne if she had found out about them. And I know she did things, too. You saw how bad things got. You were there.
We broke up, Anna, a few weeks after you left. I don鈥檛 know if you knew that.

Yeah. And she moved out to Bloomington for some job at HealthPartners. And that was it. Five years of my life, that was it. Until she came back around Thanksgiving to pick up her stuff. And we got to talking. And all the things that drove me crazy felt like they didn鈥檛 matter anymore. So I moved out to Bloomington. We got a place near the mall.

And we鈥檙e getting married next year.
We haven鈥檛 told anyone yet. But, yeah. It鈥檚 not what I thought I wanted. But it was. And the only way I knew that, the only way I figured it out, is we spent time apart. And if I freaked out that much when you got married... I can only imagine how much you guys were freaking out. I wasn鈥檛 even thinking about it. I wasn鈥檛 thinking about you. I wasn鈥檛 the kind of friend I should have been to you two. And I want to fix that.
(beat)
I鈥檓 just saying, I think it鈥檚 good that you left, Anna. And I think it鈥檚 good that he came here. Things change. Then they change back. Or you realize that they never really changed at all.
