Haven't we all...
My sister was getting a divorce and I went to help her move out. As I came up to the house I encounterd my soon-to-be ex brother-in-law. Without thinking I blurted out my usual greeting, "how's it goin'." I thought he was going to deck me on the spot.

Our minds can do very funny things. I've blurted out some things myself that I had been told not to.

You must write and tell me it and then I will let it disperse into the Ozone layer.
I have forgiven you 50% already do not hesitate to free yourself of this latent feeling.
I did something far worse, but I was only a little un and I hope he was not listening.

I loved this post, dear Kabu! It's just so real and well-written, and for some reason, it had me smiling. Probably in self-identification.To me, you allowed your unconscious to become unfiltered enough to surface beyond your conscious and just blurt it out, thus solving the problem for you regarding the woman with whom you wouldn't mind severing ties, at least that's how it seems! But, oh, what a great story! I just loved reading it. This type of storytelling is really your forte, or rather, one of them.

Who knows why we do what we do, especially what we say. "The tongue can no man tame." And that goes for woman also. That's no reason though that we shouldn't try. I've had to discipline my tongue, but sometimes it still doesn't behave.

Don't be too hard on yourself, the story would have come out sooner or
later, whether or not you were involved. It just might be that the one she was keeping the secret from already knew or suspected the truth.

Sometimes, I believe, we open our mouths and blurt out something we didn't intend, but that someone really needed to be spoken. We may never know why, or what good came of it, but in that moment, we fulfill a need greater than our own need to not feel dreadful and mortified. The word sacrifice comes to mind...
