OK this question is a shameless rip off of

Do you get the hang of Thursdays? ↗

Here in sunny Wales, if you want to know the days of the week it's easy because they're exactly the same words the planets. But for some weird reason, we don't have the days in the right planetary order.

Mercher (Mercury), Wednesday
Gwener (Venus) Friday
Daear (Earth),
Mawrth (Mars) Tuesday
Iau (Jupiter) Thursday
Sadwrn (Saturn), Saturday
Wranws (Uranus),
Neifion (Neptune).

So Thursday is dydd iau, day of Jupiter. French, Spanish, Italian etc all follow the same pattern thanks to those nice Romans. Thursday, of course, is Thors day thanks to those nice Vikings.

So Jupiter and Thor are kind of the same and are probably friends because they both like chucking lightning bolts. Perhaps they're lovers, who knows.

Today, of course, is Thursday, and it's time to sacrifice an ox to ensure a nice sunny weekend with no lightening. I don't have an ox, so I'm using an oxo cube.

So upon this Thors/Jupiter day, who will you be making a sacrifice to, and what is it?

I was very close to this girl I met at work for 8 years. I was very open with her, she met my family, even became part of my family. The thing is, she was over the top secretive about everything. Didn't want me to know her age, about her family, her lovers, where she lived, etc. If I casually, politely brought it up, it upset her. I put up with this because I thought if I'm open and vulnerable with her, eventually she'd come around and be the same with me. It never happened. I got frustrated and politely distanced myself. Then I felt kind of bad because she was actually a good friend inspite of everything. But I couldn't take the one-sided thing. So I tried reaching out to her and reconnecting, and she just wasn't interested. Eventually, I just let her be. She even removed me from her Facebook. Then months later she hangs out with my brother that she knows I've had problems with. She would actually sit and talk to me about how awful my brother is. Isn't that the most garbage, 2-faced person ever?

I personally think being friends first is better than being with someone right off the bat in most cases. But what do you guys think?
