I’m a new reader so not entirely caught up on the history, but I have definitely been in your shoes. Sometimes, love just isn’t enough no matter how hard you try or want it. But – it’s great that you can keep your friend. It’s not an easy road, but I do believe that exes can stay friends. Good luck!

Thanks, and glad to have you here!

I’m all for the friendship route when the emotional attachment isn’t so strong that it sucks me back into the bad patterns. I’m friends with almost all of my exes and some of them have even continued to bring positive goodies into my life like wisdom, new friends, advice, companionship, encouragement and fun dinners. I’m betting you and LC will end up in that category.

I hope so. I really do care about him and I’d hate to lose him from my life.

I think you both gave this a really big effort, and attempted to do all the right things to make it work.

It just didn’t. Sometimes that just happens. No harm no foul. You got a great friend out of it.

That’s how I feel about this. It’s not a matter of blame for one party or the other. It just didn’t work. Some things just don’t.

Hey Twitter Friend!

I’ve been reading through your posts for the last couple of days now, and have been simultaneously amused, educated, chastened at my own hapless dating behaviour (which sometimes resembles that of your Gentlemen Callers) and, of course, greatly entertained… you write extremely well.

Just thought I would say hi, given that you seem to have had a rough couple of days. Keep your chin up. :7

Well hi there and glad to have ya! We all do stupid things sometimes so don’t worry. Just look through this blog to see some of my own doozies. and I’ll be just fine, no worries. Back to my old sarcastic self in no time.

I’ll miss the stories for sure. I guess it’s a good thing because the two of your were able to be civil about the whole thing. Good on you both.

We care about each other and we both knew it was the right thing.

For what it’s worth, I think you’ve made the right decision. I was where you are a few years ago and “my LC” is now one of my dearest friends.

I do hope LC and I make friendship work. I’ve never seen that happen firsthand, so I’m not exactly optimistic. But I’m hopeful.
