Lucy, You Got Some 'Splainin To Do....
Oct. 9th, 2006 10:04 amSo, um, I broke up with Anthony on Thursday, but you knew that.
I guess I kind of owe everyone an explanation, and this is easier and faster than becoming famous and having them make a Lifetime Movie of the Week about the whole thing. What it boils down to is that I'm really really really really not ready to be married yet, or, more importantly, monogamous, and I don't want to wake up when I'm 80 and resent him because I never got to date.
This seems like such a small, shallow thing (dating people), but in my life right now, it's huge.
These past four days have really been the longest of my life. It feels like Thursday and Friday were two years, instead of a day and a half. A lot of people seem to be upset with me right now, and the only one I understand is Anthony. Aimee says that, usually, when people break up, you can say that both parties contributed to the break up, and that this is all on me. That's absolutely true, but I don't understand why there has to be a villan in this situation at all. We broke up, but we're still friends. Hell, as of Saturday, we're dating. This may not be the wisest course of action that either of us have ever taken, but we're young, and that's what young folk do. That, and have really great sex at the words "This morning, I got sucked off by a complete stanger." Why that should turn me on so is at the bottom of a very long list of things to figure out about myself.

Date: 2006-10-10 12:24 am (UTC)The fact that the two of you can still date and be friendly and sexual with one another speaks to how much you love each other. Relationships are always evolving and the relationship you had with someone 10 years ago isn't necessarily going to be the same relationship you have with them in another 10 years. When relationships become a hinderance or damaging that is when they need to end.
I'm glad this relationship isn't over. It has simply changed and while sudden, it is something we all who love and care about you will get used to in time. Just as you guys will.
