[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, since your husband is sitting right next to you, you can tell him from me that I know many lawyers who would say the same thing that he is saying to you right now, and all I can say in response is that he may very well truly believe that but it’s only because that’s all he knows.

I also have a deeper definition of “friendship” than you and I guess him. I “keep in touch” with a lot of people. “Friendship” to me isn’t a word that I throw around so lightly, though.

Oh, and one more thing: we also vacationed with law partners and their families. We don’t see them anymore either. When the ties that bind are law, business, careers, etc., those ties are fleeting.

I’m sure you think everything you have going is genuine, though. Enjoy your rose-colored glasses. [/quote]

You know how I can tell you might have actually been a BigLaw partner?  You think you are always right. Unbelievable that you are trying to deny someone else’s lived experience.  I bet your DW regrets the day you retired - she is stuck listening to you mansplain all day. [/quote]

DP. You know, your lashing out at him here makes me think he’s hit on a truth that you don’t want to acknowledge. What you wrote is so over-the-top reactive to what he said that I suspect he’s seen you and your life in a way that makes you very uncomfortable. [/quote]
