Guys, I need some hugs.

[starrieskies]

Hugs, gault.

I'm being a little sad panda today too. I'm trying not to, but it's hard. My birthday is coming and I'm "single" for the first time in 13 years... I'm going out with some friends on Friday night, but no one can decide where we're going and it's becoming a headache to plan. Part of me wants to just scrap it and stay home but I think that going out will be good for me.

(heart) you gault.

Gigantic hugs gault. I am sorry it took me so long to catch up on this post but you are amazing and funny and gorgeous.

Go have fun starrieskies!

[gault]

Have a great time, starries. You are amazing and deserve a celebration.


I posted breakup details on SO. It's very long. It was cathartic to write. A few coworkers just entered my office, saw my face, and backed away slowly. lol.

Breakup details? Aw, Gault. I'm so sorry.

[gault]

Thanks. I'm still kind of in shock. Not about the breakup per se, but what he said to me. And a lot of things make sense now. Actions and reactions from the last few months.

My long winded reply is on SO. Here I'll just say I'm sorry and give you a great big ::::HUG::::

I'm glad you're responding in such a healthy way to all of this Gault. I'm sorry he turned out to be such a jackass.

Understandable.


I replied on SO, but it all boils down to this: You are better than him.

[gault]

I know I am. lol. From insinuating getting engaged and blah blah to this. What a whirlwind.
You guys are the best.

[dixienormous]

I also replied on SO. And it's all true. You're one of my TIP heroes.

[starrieskies]

Thanks guys. I don't know why it's hitting me so hard. We haven't done anything for my birthday in years, so it really shouldn't be a big deal. But for some reason it is.

Huge hugs to you gault. I haven't read your post yet (but I will and will reply there as well), but what I can tell you is that muddled is 100% correct. You ARE better than him, and you deserve better too!

I'm all kinds of emotional today. I dropped DS off at daycare this morning and won't see him again until Sunday night. This is the longest I've been away from him, and I'm sad that I don't get to help get him dressed in his costume tonight. I know I'm not good at sharing, especially when it comes to my kid, but this really sucks.

That is so, so sweet.  And deeply appreciated.  Thank you.

(((gault))) You are better than him and better off without him.

starrieskies, if you come visit me I'll make Boyfriend babysit DS and you and I can go out together.

gault, I'll go read details tonight bur for now you get a gigantic hug.

[tiramisu]

gault I read your other post and holy shit. What an absolute piece of shit that guy is. I agree with others, I think your anxiety will be improving fairly quickly now. You are beautiful and amazing and he is such a fucking dumbass. I hate what he said to you but I'm glad you know what a completely worthless human being he is now.

If I lived near you I'd bring you your choice of pointy-toed shoes and steel-toed boots, then hold him down so you could kick him in the nuts with either pair (or even both!).

Big, huge hugs to you. You are an amazing and inspiring woman. There are much better things in your future.

[tiramisu]

Also, he's really not that cute. He's fucking delusional to think he could do better than you, ever. You're a million times better than he deserves. Not just looks-wise, in general.

I was also getting a bit of a bad feeling about things with the way emotions were dismissed as your problem and you started thinking you were being irrational, but it was nothing I could solidly put my finger on. Now I can: he's an asshole.

[gault]

Just wanted to make sure you knew I read this, tiramisu. Thank you. It's nice to know that others had a bad feeling as well. Pretty sure I did, too, but couldn't pinpoint the origin.
