  • I am sorry you had to go through that. Interestingly, I’m almost the reverse. I had a group of friends I thought I was close with. Started dating a girl, everyone got along. When I proposed to her the friends all felt that I betrayed my then-roommate friend, and they all bailed on our friendships. I tried to explain how I felt, I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.

    They took, spouting all kinds of hurtful things to me and my girlfriend like how we’d never last and how she was my “trophy”. Years later we’re still together, happy, and (mostly) healthy. While at least one of them has been divorced (only mentioning that to point out the irony).

    So I ended up losing a whole group of friends in exchange for my wife, who is my best friend. As much as that time hurt, if I had to do it again I would never choose them over her.






  • Interesting idea. I wonder what the Sun is then? Since that’s where the investiture is seeming to come from.

    I also wonder why there isn’t any area on the ground that is in sunlight but not the full scale, investiture-fueled firestorm. Nomad experienced it at the peak of the mountain, but that same phenomenon had to exist elsewhere on the planet, wouldn’t it? Maybe the smallness of the planet is the reason for that but it just got me thinking.
