Aw, damn, smonster, that sucks. Glad he didn't string you along, but still, disappointing. OTOH, how could he not love Frankie?!
Trudy, lots of good vibes for your stepmother, and your dad and you. Waiting and not knowing is so hard.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

smonster, blergh. I'm glad you're taking a day tomorrow. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Love you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, smonster, I'm so sorry. After the stringing-you-along awfulness of that long-ago guy whose name I have blocked from my memory due to his awfulness, I'm grateful that D had enough decency and respect for you to be totally truthful and not leave you twisting and guessing. But, oh, how sorry I am, and how baffled that someone could get to be with you and not spend all his time staggering around going HOLY SHIT I AM SO LUCKY I CAN'T EVEN.

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.

What JZ said. Also, he was immune to Frankie's cuteness? That boy was not right.

Yes, exactly what JZ said.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Man, even a breakup that was "kind" (and props to him for not wanting to string you along) is still a breakup. That blows.
Take some time and wallow, and be good to yourself.

I'm so sorry, smonster. Grieve and heal as you can. We got you.
Trudy, that's so hard--wishing her and your family every good wish possible, and strength and endurance, besides.
Welcome, Ford! You've landed yourself in an awesome family! Don't worry though, you've got a fantastic older brother to show you the ropes. He can teach you how to get by on a grin and a snuggle, never fear. Be a stellar kid, though, and let your mamas sleep at night, 'kay?
I can't say it better than Beverly, so Ima point and nod.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I know there were good things about D...but not loving Frankie? I seriously don't get it. I've never even met the little dude and I'm enamored with him.
Some people are not pet people. Or dog people. I have maybe five dogs I've ever known that I truly liked. And that's being a pet person myself.
But a breakup is a breakup and they hurt.
