| Dear Carolyn: My best friend is about to retire to another country like she’s dreamed of. I know I should be happy for her, but the thought depresses me. I can’t honestly share her excitement, and I’m not going to burden her with my misery, so it feels like there’s a wall between us now. I know the root of it is that I got divorced a while back and moved closer to my BFF, hoping we’d be old ladies together (her expat dream always seemed like an impossible fantasy until recent changes in her finances)… |
