Ironically, on our six-month anniversary, I somehow found the strength to end the romantic portion of my relationship with one of my boyfriends in order to salvage the platonic portion of it before letting the failed romance sweep any possibilty of friendship away.
yay.
Ouch.
But also yay.

Thu, December 6, 2007 - 1:06 PMThanks Feiruz...It's quite a roller coaster.
Honestly, I feel like I've gone against my own best advice by not establishing some sort of extended separation period during the transition from my being his girlfriend to being his friend.
I'm starting to realize that I may have to take my own advice after all. I think that's gonna be even more painful than the initial break-up for both of us. But the truth does hurt sometimes - and necessarily so.
Ugh. Yay. Ugh. -

Sun, December 9, 2007 - 12:24 PMIt's the right thing. And you will both be healthier and happier for making the right (tough) decisions in a timely manner. It's sort of choosing the lesser of two pains. Truth hurts only when we cling to fallacies that delude us with an appearance of comfort.
May you continue to be strong and true to yourself.
