23-years ago I married a wonderful man. We both had the same profession and a lot in common. He was (and is) the right decision for me. He adds stability in my life. However, I have since grown. College has opened my mind to new people and different ways of life; some are fascinating. He has not had the benefit of education, nor does he choose it. He is happy with his life the way it is; he chooses not to grow. I love this man dearly and respect his wishes.

By the way, I'm Debbie, the person Connie met to mall walk.

What I mean is ... what should I do? Say, "Look whose coming to dinner? A witch." Switch would start my new potential friendship off on the wrong foot or say, "This is my new walking partner Connie; she is fascinating!" And at some point down the road, when the initial meeting has been a positive one say, "Our friend Connie believes in witchcraft." - Personally, I believe its best to do it this way.

However, I am flexible too. If Connie is uncomfortable with not immediately announcing she is a witch, then I will tell my husband. He is not so Christian bent to "forbid" me from having her as a walking partner. (LOL! Not that he could "forbid" me anyway.) I just wanted to give the new relationship time to grow in fertile soil. Why plant in the dry heat, when much moisture soil is available?
