[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently attended the 50th birthday party of a college friend of my husband's, and someone I have known since my graduate school days.  The party was held in another, where our friend lives, and was akin to a wedding, held in a hotel, with a hundred guests, an open bar, dinner, and a live band.  It was really lovely.  In any case, my husband, who deeply hurt me with a recent infidelity after decades of marriage, was distant and disengaged, talking and dancing with anyone but me.  So I spent most of the evening with the birthday friend's family and older friends from high school, college, and graduate school, many of whom I have met and gotten to know well over the years.  We ate, talked, danced in groups, and generally had a great time.  I am now no spring chicken, and I have never been the most beautiful woman in the room, but I am fit (BMI 18.9), and that night I wore a good, fitted dress, and had done my hair and makeup.  At the bar after the birthday party, one of the host's oldest high school friends, someone with whom I had talked but not exclusively so, asked me if I would join him for a late night walk (1:00 a.m.) around the city.  He is married, and my husband was also at the bar.  I kindly explained to him that I could not do that because my own husband had broken my heart with an affair, and I could never hurt another woman that way, then I burst into tears, and turned to a female acquaintance and spent the rest of the evening talking to her.  The man left the bar a few minutes later, probably embarrassed for or by me.  I felt bad that I may have hurt his feelings, and the next time something like this happens with another man (if ever) I will have a more appropriate response ready.[/quote]

Sounds like a boozy wild night.  [/quote]

The cocktails at the host's house started at 5:00 p.m., and the after-party at the bar ended at 2:00 a.m.  It was a wildly fun, boozy night, and the man who asked me out for a walk had likely had a lot to drink that night -- as had most guests.  I am not a big drinker though, which is why I am in control of my senses, and only had two drinks the entire night.  [/quote]
