Breaking Up This isn't your typical breakup rant. Recently my LTR and I broke up. I did shed a few tears and was genuinely sad for a day or two. It was not altogether unexpected but a jolt to the heart none the less. Here is what really tweaks my cookies about the entire event: When I tell people we are no longer together, I get the looks of surprise then sadness and the "Awww, I'm so sorry. You guys seemed so happy together. Are you OK?" Uhhh, don't I look OK.? I'm fine, fuck you very much. I didn't have a pet die in my arms or have a child kidnapped. My relationship with my BF ended. I was upset for a bit and now I'm not. This is mostly from women and that is what pisses me off even more. We want to be independent and strong and self sufficient but as soon as one of our own states she is now a single woman, then we get all Hallmarky on her and want to hug and see her cry. We think she should be with someone in order to be fulfilled and happy. What the fuck is with that? Also, what is with trying to bash the guy?? We didn't work out. Doesn't mean I don't like him. If I saw him on the street I would give him a hug and be truly interested in his well-being. He is a great guy. We had a fabulous time together. Things just weren't meant to be. So what?? Don't start calling him names like "jerk" and "asshole", because he isn't. Seriously, bitches piss me off.
