This is Me Getting On With My Life
by Scott Hardie on March 4, 2007
Any advice for a newly single guy? After five months, Denise and I are no longer seeing each other. I won't get into the causes out of respect for her point of view; let's just say she and I each wanted the other to behave differently and it wasn't going to happen. When the end came a week ago, I was terribly distraught over it, but now I know it's the right thing and I'm moving on. I wish her well.

I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad it's something you can accept as the right thing though. I guess it's better to end things sooner rather than later if you know they're not going to work. Still painful though, I am sure.

Scott, sorry to hear about the terrible loss to my blog readership. :P Now who will read about my medical problems and mental issues?!
But, seriously, it's always hard to break up, but there is, I think, some consolation that it seems that it wasn't a horrible ugly break up. Or maybe it was...that would be not so good. I'm not good with words for occasions like this, so I will resort to my default reaction:
*warm fuzzies*

It was a horribly ugly break-up, but it has the upside of being over now. Thanks, everybody, for the kindness.

Aw, Scott, I'm sorry. That bites. Nothing more can be said, really. =(

"Stupid Bitch! What do you mean I can't commit? I've got my share of restraining orders!" - Steve after his last break-up.
Seriously, I have dicovered this about myself. Although I am mostly content by myself, I flourish when I am part of something. I'm one of those guys who loves being in love. And even the rockiest relationship I ever had was the best while it was happening. All that being said, you can compromise on almost anything in any relationship, but you cannot (must not) compromise yourself.

So sorry that I can't say much here without a good cry to go with, except... sorry, Scott.
(Except also that, Steve, you make me laugh an uneasy but/and empathetic laugh... And Erik, I'm not sure which is worse, either, but don't feel like you're missing out on too much, bro.)

Amen.
I don't intend to stay single for long, but I do want to give myself proper time to get over this.

R.I.P. Harry
It's been a melancholy weekend since learning of the passing of a family friend. Fifty years ago, Harry and my mother went on a date. They didn't quite click, but she liked him enough to introduce him to her best friend, and sparks flew between them that soon led to marriage and a lifetime of gratitude to my mother for introducing them.

Does it make sense for me to keep my phone? Work has provided me with a cell phone. I broke my home phone last weekend, and I could buy another one at Target for ten bucks, but I wonder if I should finally kick the $45 monthly bill and stick to either the cell phone or something like Skype (for which I'd have to buy a mic).

Science says that complaining is bad for you, but sometimes it helps me feel better, so I'm going to do it anyway. It's my blog and I can cry if I want to. Summer has arrived and I'm miserable. Go »Stepson
She hasn't come out and told me yet, but it seems pretty clear that my mom is engaged, or at least planning to get married to her boyfriend. I wish them both happiness, especially my mom after eleven solitary years as a widow. This is great news for both of them! Go »
