Breakups

I am single.


No ifs, no buts, no Ps on PEF, just one me, one EF, and a world of possibilities.

On that note, I needs must finish getting drunk, get dressed, and hie me to Slimelight - onwards, to glory dancing badly!

Congratulations! by TurboThy (4.00 / 3) #1 Sat Jul 29, 2006 at 06:10:53 PM EST
Don't drink too much, you'll need to sort out the mortgage and the custody papers tomorrow.

Meh by DullTrev (4.00 / 3) #2 Sat Jul 29, 2006 at 07:49:42 PM EST

I have the sneaking suspicion it's for the best, but I'm sure it still sucks. Good luck with everything you need to get sorted.

And *hugs*, in a tough, manly, platonic way.

DFJ?


Yeah, it is by Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #10 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 06:15:48 AM EST
And it does, but at the same time we both recognise that it's for the best. Sorting stuff is going to be a long, slow process, and it's likely that we're going to remain housemates for a while to come yet. That can't continue indefinitely, of course, but for the timebeing it's really the only practical option.

There's almost certainly a receptionist out there with your name on it her.

Done.


I hope it works out. by Evil Cloaked User (4.00 / 2) #5 Sun Jul 30, 2006 at 07:29:19 AM EST
Best of luck.

Still, I think most of the problem is just a mental hurdle to overcome, - Cloaked User


Thank you by Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #7 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 05:23:42 AM EST
It's going to be complicated, what with our daughter, mortgage, etc, and we're going to be housemates for a while to come yet, but I think it's for the best.

For the best by Merekat (4.00 / 1) #9 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 05:41:58 AM EST
I think the majority of your readers agree.

No Ties.
No work.

...Until PEF decides that she was wrong.

How do you feel about it, then?




Actually, I'm fine with it by Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #11 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 07:51:08 AM EST
As you probably know, this isn't the first time we've spoken about this sort of thing; it comes up every year or so. Each time previously, I've had that little sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as I've realised where the conversation is going. It wasn't there this time.

I have commented to friends over the past couple of weeks that perhaps I feel fine this time because part of me "knows" that we'll get back together in the end, yet as things progressed I continued feeling fine.

To be honest, about the only thing I feel at the moment is a vague excitement. I know the grass is always greener, etc, but right now, I'm looking forward to getting out there and just having some fun for a while.

I definitely need to expand my clubbing horizons though; Slimelight isn't a very fertile hunting ground.

So, come winter by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #13 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 08:37:55 AM EST
And she says "oooh let's get back together", what will you say?

In the meantime, good luck with the random boning.

If I feel then as I feel now by Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #15 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 09:23:57 AM EST
I'd gently but firmly refuse.

Of course, come winter, who knows how I'll feel? Maybe I'll have spent the entire time with women running screaming from me or laughing in my face, or maybe I'll have had more offers than I can shake a stick at, only to have realised that actually she is my one true love.

We'll just have to see what the future brings.

And with a bit of luck, that will be plenty of fun and frolicking

Well, good luck. by Breaker (4.00 / 1) #16 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 09:36:27 AM EST
Also, I hear there's various internet sites designed for people to meet.

Yay! by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #12 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 08:25:51 AM EST
It sounds like this has been a long time coming.

I'm sure you'll deal with things sensibly, and hopefully both of you will end up happier.

Also, hope it's not too sucky for you in the near future.



Thanks by Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #14 Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 08:56:01 AM EST
Yeah, it has been a while coming. We're being sensible so far - acting as friends, have a concrete plan for rectifying the sleeping arrangements, etc. The whole moving out thing is going to take a while, but that can't be helped, given the situation. It also may well be best for our daughter, give her some time to adjust to what's going on.
