A distance grows between Amina and me. It had to happen sooner or later. I get no sense of what she thinks of me or how she considers me. I have doubts whether she considers me at all significant in her life. Her men-bashing has finally gotten to me. Should I trust her? How do I know that one day she won’t turn totally against me just because I’m male? I feel of little value to her. I’m an expendable friend due to my gender, one more hurt male makes her world a little better.
