Me: “Saw your posts about the divorce. Hope you’re doing okay. Looks like you’re taking control and moving on. You look fantastic and seriously happy. Always liked you a lot and enjoyed all the times we hung out. Hope nothing but the best for you. If you ever need some who’s been through it, or just to vent, let me know.”

Ex’s cute and newly single mid 30s friend: “That means so much. It’s been tough but I’m turning the corner. Starting to have some fun. It’s so sweet of you to reach out. I always liked you a lot too.”

Me: “Awesome! Well post divorce rebound fun is some of the best fun out there so maybe we need to grab a drink.”

Her: “Don’t I know... had a Tinder date last night. He helped to clear my mind. Lol. Twice. Happy to let you buy me a drink soon though. It’d be fun to catch up one on one. We’ve never had that chance.”

Stay tuned for recap on post-drink shenanigans.
