I "broke up" with him last night...or...whatever.

He took it well. And actually, the way in which he took it made it easier on me.

I guess I'll be really sad for a while if we're not friends (like we shook hands on)...and if/when he meets another woman...I'll only be jealous (for a spell) if he loves her or falls in love with her...because I'll take it personally since he couldn't bring himself to do so with me.

::le sigh::

But that's all. No sweeping exits; no off-stage lines...

*shrug* And again, as much as I might miss certain aspects of his company and I'll be sad to lose a friend...I feel a great weight lifted from me. Just as the sun rises...this is the course...

:nigel: Cheers.

All those feelings are natural. And to be cliche about it, it's for the best. Now you're not excluding yourself from the possibility of finding someone who will appreciate you in the way you deserve. That sounds cliche too, i know... sorry. But it's true!

:beer: here's to the past

You should give yourself a pat on the back. Last time I thought about breaking something off, I just kind of sabotaged the relationship until he got sick of me and we both sort of ended it.

Good luck with the future. There's something better out there waiting for you!

I am made up for you in no less than an upbeat kind of way, and refuse to not *congratulate* you! :up: (From the impression I got... with the general aid of MysteriousPoets'.. reactions to you) ...you are now a star doer, for deciding so firmly about this, so now as well as lifting the ill-gotten-gain of boyfriend burden, you've also made your critics redundant
at last in seizing what you had to do. :)
It was fairly obvious even without the detail to put into writing about this
matter that you were not going to be happy long term, so well done now
for pulling out of a no go relationship which seems it was anything but secure/fulfilling. :sick:

btw: However many weeks back it was, I read your last post in thread in which posted me and mysterious poet. :) I just avoided rag tagging that
thread so as not to enflame the flak you already appeared to be getting.

:hug:

Just as the sun rises...this is the course...

:)

I wish I'd have seen things like that, at your age.
Breaking up sucks, but it's all a part of living.

That said, :hug:

:hug: You seem to have a good outlook about this, Pseudo. Like OA said, I wish I could have been so clear-sighted about things when I was your age. It will get better. :)
