Some of you might have noticed a lack of something in this blog over the past few months.
There have been no "Beau" posts.
And that's because it's over.
He ended it in an email (after the better part of a decade) and quite possibly had someone else all along.
Which was pretty brutal and cruel and hurtful.
But I'm almost glad it happened that way. Because it's so utterly black and white now that there's no feeling (other than hurt feelings) left.
And it made me realize how many kind, thoughtful, amazing people I have in my life. So, in being "alone," I've discovered that I'm not alone at all. Which is a great feeling.
So, on to better days, new adventures, and--a little down the road--someone who is good and funny and kind to me.
GOOD STORIES AND SNARKY NEW ADVENTURES TO COME!
Because we all deserve good stories.
I commented on this to a friend, saying, "You can't date someone for nearly 10 years and then break up with them in an email." He replied, "Sure you can - if you're a total douchebag."
ReplyDeletebeau--such a bad name for him--has the emotional intelligence of an attention-deficit emu and the intellectual capacity of an idiot. you were with him for nearly a decade, you definitely knew those things about him. you also definitely knew that it would end in a manner similar to this. i blame you. on the bright side, at least you don't have to see him at the office everyday. or is that, every day?
ReplyDeleteso, anyway, you know what they say about rebounds, no strings sex and feeling pretty right? call me, french...
TD, I know that's you. Scoundrel.
DeleteYes, it was. I was attempting humour and snarky empathy. He was so much more than a douche though. Smart and talented and charming and good looking and funny too. I miss beau. Perhaps I was just trying to make myself feel better. (Love that word - scoundrel.)
