Relationship Rant Thread

Dude, sorry to hear that. I hope it's not the case and maybe just RL messing with A, but if it is, I like your attitude on it! :thumbsup:

Resentment is never a good thing.

 

Is that how it's done? Nobody ever told me the rules, then. I've never done that. It's always been boom, it's over.

 

I agree, GA82, totally.

And good luck!

(I'll hold your hand if you want. Not that you sound like you need it.)

 

We haven't split. (?) I'm just giving her space. But I do have the feeling that she's done. It's been kind of off since before Christmas. That was sort of perfunctory.

At least there's not a lot of fighting, And I have the sense not to ask out any of her friends. I'm not sure about the two week friendship. Maybe we have already done that.

 

Yeah, I miss being young and angry, all that competive goodbye sex.

Got to be careful. My son was conceived a year after the separation. Handling that helped me grow the hell up.

Thanks for the sympathy, Scry. I'll take all the hand-holding I can get.

I seem to be coping by early morning posting and helping with my younger friends' crises. And, as always, hanging with the cheerfully oblivious little people.

 

Not having to talk to stupid (but cute)- ass exes. Tell me more. :gotmyatte

 

Aren't you forgetting the case where the 'dumper' wants to avoid deliberate injury to themselves?

These rules sound very complicated. I'm glad I never heard of them before. I'd probably screw them up.

 

Well that's the problem with the "rules". You don't know about them until you break them.



The "nice guy" side of me wants to say something supportive to you, GA, but it all sounds so corny and meaningless on my head. So, all I can say with complete sincerity, is that I'm here for you too, man, if you need it!

 

Uh...that's a corny line. And don't ever let corniness stop you from saying something sincere.

Actually, a lot of people are having their problems at the same time. So, I'm too busy to sulk. Kind of convenient, actually.

Come to think of it, until last week, I HAVE been drinking a lot lately. Maybe I've already been working my way through it. Valentine's weekend was kind of thought provoking.

 

Thanks, GA!

 

Ha, now that's funny. I've been friends with my ex since we broke up (which was
around November). I dare say that our mutual relations are better than ever
and we still are meeting and talking on a regular basis.

 

I feel for you Mags. I have the same problem. They love me and leave me, but they don't stay away.
