Sean. You are NOT the bad guy.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Poor Sean. Poor S. Hugs for both of you.
Lots of bone-healing~ma for Vortex's dad. Hope the parental units will get to go on their cruise.
Barb, I'm glad you found an effective ice-pick for your frozenness.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Sean, honey, you are not a bad person. Please reread Daisy as she is wise.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It was hard earned what with the majority of my exes having not done things that way.
Trust me, having someone tell you they can't be with you sucks, but having them say nothing and then get married without telling you? Far worse.
ETA: Which is to say, yeah it hurts, but guess which one left me emotionally scarred and which one I leave random text messages for with inside jokes like "Raisins and Toast!"

Oof, Sean. That's always so tough. Good luck, because of course, the doing is only part of it, and aftermath is always part of it too (even if just in your own head). Eep. Hugs.
Am in Portland, headed for the last day of this work trip. Sadly, today's bit was ...OK, "exciting" is not the right word, but for a whie it looked like it was goign to all be wrapped up today, and I'd only ever have to come one more time, and do some basic-to-my-job stuff, not anything that required knowing about anything specific-to-the-project-or-location stuff. Which would've been awesome. And then my hopes were dashed. Sigh. Ancient tangled things come home to roost, and I'll have to come back a few more times and deal with them in somewhat annoying ways. The people are very pleasant though, which is something good. Ah well.
One more, and then I'm home. I"ve realized all this working from home means I'm not used to this much TALKING--my throat is really sore!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

If you decided it needed to end, then the fact that you decided that confirms that it was the right decision. Telling her honestly and in person was the right thing to do. You did the right thing in a mature way. And that always hurts more in the short term, but save pain for everyone in the long run.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Sean, I'm very sorry for the both of you. I agree with the others, it's so hard being the one to end a relationship; it means a lot that you ended it honestly.
