i met the writer at a wedding. the bride was one of his classmates, the groom was my cousin.
they had their six year anniversary on memorial day, and now apparently they're separated.
my family is asking me for updates, because it seemed like the writer was good friends with the bride. sure they worked together, but they haven't been in touch for years. she doesn't usually attend all of the writerly conferences where people get together and catch up. she isn't even on facebook. the writer is asking me about my cousin, and i don't even know him very well. all of my male cousins are very quiet. i don't know anything. my family isn't accustomed to breakups, and i'm sure everyone is being very unintentionally condescending about it. i've had some friends in turn their lives around after a divorce, so i'm sorta meh either way. it is none of my business, and the less my family freaks out about it or tries to take interest after the fact, the better.
this couple moved to dayton soon after they got married. when i heard the separation news, i instantly wondered if one of the two started hanging out too much with bob pollard or kim deal. this is the least likely of scenarios and just goes to show how much i do not know these people who had such a huge impact on my life. it also shows how easily i can be sidetracked with dayton/ohio.
