We're only human

Tonight Drew called me and asked me to meet him for drinks, since he lives 45 minutes away, I figured if he wanted to drive in, I would meet him. As soon as I saw him I knew something was wrong. I wasn't exactly sure why he wanted to meet me as we aren't that close, our relationship is mostly professional (in a community context- i'm on the board and he is on staff). I thought he may have wanted to fool around but i had let him know last time that it wasn't a good idea (I assigned the blame to the professional relationship and not my disinterest). He finally got around to telling me what was going on- his ex-wife got engaged and he was upset that it affected him, he didn't think that it would or that it should and I tried telling him that it is natural to be affected in some way. We might not want it to bother us but it does- I guess I should remember that next time something like that happens to me.
