Yeah man, totally get it. Despite how much we get along with WL’s, reality is that once they have left the industry, that’s it. Even when us punters hang out with WL’s outside the shop, it’s only for their benefit as in companionship or to keep us as punters. I asked one if we could still be friends after she quits and despite being a long term regular, she was like “no, once I’ve finished, I will not be in contact with anyone” which is understandable.
If I was in a WL’s position, I would do the same thing. New number, delete social media and move on with life. WL’s know what punters are like so why would they continue being friends after they quit ? Just my perspective. And I’m the same. No way would I want to be their friend knowing full well their history.
