I Can Take a Hint

Theme Song: I Will Survive

"I don't love you and I'm not attracted to you."

That's when I knew the relationship was over. How did I know? Because I can take a hint.

Maybe you'd think hearing something that starkly cruel hurt my feelings. Well, you'd be right.

However.

There's nothing like getting dumped, hard, on your a**, to launch a few months of pain and desperation. But as I was moping down Fillmore Street, the thought came to me: what is pain without poetry?

And so I decided to celebrate by starting a new blog, this time on Blogspot. I'm trying something new. I'm moving on. I'm being brave. I'm staying active.

I've heard this kind of thing before and now I know it's true. I can cry all I want to, but I have to remember:

She doesn't love me and she's not attracted to me.

Those words will help when I'm tempted to call. Those words will help when I miss her and wish, for increasingly unclear reasons, I could have her back.

Well, I can't. And here's why:

She doesn't love me and she's not attracted to me.

Where You Come In

Because getting dumped is extremely painful, I decided I wouldn't go it alone. You're here, and I'm going to use you.

You will provide moral support and a friendly ear. You will agree with me when I say she's the meanest person alive and I will never speak to her again. You will also be honest with me, *but* only when I specifically ask you to be. Otherwise, it's your job to constantly agree with me that I did nothing wrong and I didn't deserve this and she's probably suffering at least as much as I am. If not way, way more.

So, thank you. I appreciate your help getting through this critical time.

Oh, and by the way: I'll be publishing stuff about the breakup on Tuesdays and stuff about single parenting on Thursdays. That way, you won't get bored. And feel free to leave a comment, especially a positive one that says I didn't deserve this, I did nothing wrong and she's probably suffering at least as much as I am. If not way, way more.
