[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to depart from the common wisdom here and say that it was a drunk episode with less meaning for your relationship than it was for her personally.

Twenty-three is a weird transitional stage and you just got a front row seat. When you bring your high school friends into the context of your not-quite adult life and put alcohol into the mix, there's an uncomfortable juxtaposition between what your high school self thought your adult self would be and the reality of what you are. She brought her old friends around and then critiqued herself through their eyes - through their high schooler eyes. Drunk minds do that kind of bullshit.

If you were in your 30s I'd say run like hell, but in your 20s go with your gut feelings. She basically showed you a vulnerability and if you care about her you can tell her honestly how it made you feel and give her a chance to deal with the consequences of her behavior. I'm betting she'll feel badly and open up about some stuff she hasn't shared before.

Or you can decide you really don't have time for her issues and move on.  Both options are reasonable. Plenty of time to deal with Significant Other Drama I your lifetime. [/quote]
