This Sucks...

I guess this will be one of those Keeping It Real posts.  I have an old friend in the area who I have been talking to online a bit.  He offered to come over and keep me company now and then, but it turned out to be very agitating for my dad.  :(  He walks through the room every few minutes and scowls at me or motions me aside to ask me who he is.  Even though I tell him it is an old friend, he keeps saying, "Where's your husband?"  or "You aren't with your husband anymore?"  No amount of explaining seems to decrease his anxiety and scowling.  I know he is from a more "old fashioned" generation, but this has been really surprising.  He has stayed friends with many of my moms female friends after she passed and doesn't seem to think it is weird to see them on a friendly basis.  Double standard I guess.  I could just not care I guess, but it bothers me to see him like that and doesn't make for a very relaxing visit to have him making faces at me every few minutes.    Just...  argh.  That is all I guess.  Sometimes a post can just be a vent.  I don't have to come up with a magickal reframing for everything.  Some things just suck.
