Honestly Motor-head, I didn't know the answer to this question. I didn't know if I should go, if I should just drop her off, etc.

Gigi, thank you for your advice. Especially because I think one of the other reasons for the separation was my lack of involvment with her friends (just the fact that we had OUR OWN friends instead of just OUR friends was a warning sign). Anyway, I just always felt discomfort in hanging around with her friends, the lack of things in common, etc. I think a lot of it was anxiety as I'm actually that way with strangers as well. I've been trying to get over that so this is probably a good opportunity for me to continue down that path. Also, after the separation, I did actually email her best friend and appologize for not being more social with them. They felt I was just being rude and mean to them and they accepted my appology, which was nice. Guess I can do the same here. Might go a long way in repairing the perception people had of me.
