Sweet, it's a bit hard to comment without knowing exactly what you wrote to him in that "emotionally charged email"; strikes me as at least possible that it was more hurtful than you appear to believe.
Still, his behavior was neither reasonable nor excusable. If he'd decided to break up after that one email, at a minimum he should've at told you why. The fact that he didn't tells you enough about his character, I think, to safely move on - deriving your clearly much-desired closure from that one fact. No reasonable or compassionate person would ever cut someone off like that - ergo, he's neither, and you're better off shorn of him.
Unfortunately, Happy One, the mind is not the only thing that is made to "move" by some of the posts in those threads...if you know what I mean (really hating that my pipes are frozen once again).
You have a point about the chainsaw, Dana. But surely I can safely toot my DeWalt cordless drill like a flute?
Seriously, I love power tools, too. Unfortunately, I'm suffering at the moment, because my oldest son has most of them over at his shop, and I have almost nothing here to hold or play with.
Give me a break, Wall. You can't tell me you don't wear stiletto boots while performing dead lifts!? (Though it can be damn painful when you lose a heel in the midst of one!)
I drive a Volvo gl850 station wagon. Here in South Dakota, I'm beginning to suspect, it is practically a collector's car - I may own the only one in the state. People stare and scratch their heads as I drive by them and their pickups.
I'm much more at home and courageous with written words than I am with spoken words. I think people who've spoken with me on the phone are probably surprised at how quiet and reserved I am in RL.
I couldn't agree more, Rose. That was VERY OOD, if I do say so myself!
I recall meeting one of my kid's teachers years ago. She was 41 and I was 37. She asked if she'd ever had me in one of her classes. Kind of a more pleasant reversal of the above, methinks.
