Dear x,

I wonder why you still come here? You specifically told me that we can not be friends, and yet you continually check this site. You are part of the reason I no longer update as it doesn't seem fair that you can learn about my life and I know nothing of yours. Why do you even bother checking? You totally ignored me when I saw you in the deli, and yet you still check the site, and wonder where I am. Whatever would your wife think? (She'd think nothing of it, of course, because she's not crazy, you're the only paranoid one.)

If you want the update here it is. Still happily married, living on the north shore, minus one cat, plus one perfect baby boy, and not ever returning to that terrible grey mountain where I saw you last.

I know I can't stop you from checking the site, but I have no idea why you feel the need to comment so that I know you've seen it. You're the one that wanted no contact. I accepted it, now it's your turn to.

And to everyone else that is reading this, it's not as complicated as it may seem. My husband is fully aware of my previous friendship with this person, and didn't have any problems with it. However, he too is curious as to why the commenting and website checking has continued after said friend decided, more than a year ago, to cut all ties.

So there. Comment on that...
