This is just people. There is this woman who lives in our neighborhood who has a child in the same t-ball league as my 4 year old. A week ago, we ran into her at the game, and she said she wanted to have lunch with my wife. This woman is a good friend of another woman in my neighborhood who grew up with my wife in a little town and they were rivals for head cheerleader, homecoming queen, etc. This other woman doesn't really like other people associating with her friend (probably since she has some really good gossip about her).
Okay, to get back to the story. My wife likes this woman we ran into at t-ball and thought she would call. The next day she calls and leaves a message trying to set up a lunch. Ten days go by with no return call. Okay, maybe she is busy or didn't get the message. Last night my wife is at t-ball, and the woman's son is playing on the team we are playing. She acted like she didn't know my wife at all (wouldn't catch her eye or anything). She is walking out in front of my wife and kids and her daughter looks back at my wife and says hi and waves. My wife stops to tie one of the kid's shoes and the woman was gone by the time she looks up. She came home all pissed off. About an hour later this woman calls and leaves a message on our machine saying she had seen my wife and had tried to stop and talk her after the game, but she was gone.
This reminds me of high school. You have to know our town, but she basically didn't want to be seen associating with a member of the opposite team and now she is trying to make it better. This is just people. Some guys do it as well as women. I don't have any use for duplicitous people and won't associate with them. I guess this is my "solution" for the problem.
