A reminder that this is an off week for the Ballycastle Bats but I do urge our fans to see the game over the weekend, including the Kenmare Kestrals where our old Reseve play Robbie Marr is a featured player.

[Ward to the Bats]
At this time, I am going to ask you very pointedly to not speak to the press unless it is about our next match. I also think that running or apparating is acceptable.

[Heidi]
Thank you for the warning.

	She's been fucking around for eight years, Matty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm trying so hard not to be myself here. I'm so sorry, really. About everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what being yourself has to do with anything. Nothing you could've done. Unless you've known, which I figure you didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I knew at 7:30AM when Heidi came around, made me tea and told me. I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fuck. Sounds like everyone knew before I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, listen. I hate that it happened, and it's so new and raw but you've got every right to be blisteringly angry and possibly suicidal. Don't let people take that away from you. I told her I wouldn't help her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Suicidal is taking it a little far, but you realize that this is the worst possible way to find out, right? I would have rather heard it from you than some gossip rag in the middle of practice. The sudden dead silence and pity and bombardment of well wishes from people I didn't even realize gave a shit about my marriage was too much while I tried to figure out what the fuck was happening and why a handful of people who say they're my friends kept this news to themselves for hours and, in some cases, days.

How you deal with Alicia is up to you. She's on your team and you have to do your job.

	Look. I'm not going to defend myself to be a good person in this situation. She told me what she knew, and she was going to run this story even if I asked her not to. I was half awake and massively angry. I was so mad that I went right to work and waited for Alicia to come to my office. I am angry for you. You don't deserve this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's not like I can do anything about it now. I know getting angry at you or Pip or Marlene won't change what happened. I wish someone had told me instead of letting me find out this way. I want to go for a run to clear my head, but I don't want to deal with the possible media bombardment. I don't want to consider what I'd do if I saw George Weasley's smug face in person. I don't want to think about the fact that she probably went crawling right to him and immediately had someone to comfort her.

There's a lot I don't want to deal with because I am also massively angry, but I'm going to have to.

This is going to sound crazy, and you're going to be so irritated with me for saying it, but I think going out for a run is the best thing you could do. Show them that you're alive. Show them that you're hurt. Show them that you're going to get on with your life and not sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Do that in private. Don't let this live in your head rent free.

She made the mistake. You did not. You were faithful and loyal. You were good, like you always are. Fuck the stupid media.

I don't want to show them that, because I'm not ready for it. It's been less than a day, so I haven't moved on. I know I should get divorce papers and send them to her. I should go back to my house and be prepared to live in it again, but I'm just not ready for it yet. Everybody talking about it isn't helping me come to terms with it, it's making it worse.

You're right. I didn't cheat on her, but it still happened and I still have to deal with the fallout.

	Well, should you be ready to do any of it and need a strong, sarcastic hand... I will be here. Always. I am so sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent)
