The Procession

The Standard Procession after Breaking Up with Steph Adamo:

1. Get a haircut.

2. Tell her you’re going to be fine

3. Decide you’re actually not fine, and write shit about her on your blog where you do realize she will see it.

The decent ones apologize and take it down. The dicks go on writing worse and worse stuff.

I’m with my dear friend Mike Tomlinson on the whole breaking up issue–why can’t people just date for a while, have a nice couple of years together and then part ways peacefully, being glad to have had that time together?

    I completely agree - this is perhaps the Buddhist way, via the idea of nonattachment (with which I don’t agree completely, as if one doesn’t really care about anything, is anything or anyone of value and how does that lead to a fulfilling life?) But I wish people were more able to put “non-forever” (AKA until age 72) relationships into a happy perspective… grateful for the experience, but able to be optimistic about the future and opportunities that have been opened up.
    I also admire your resolve, assertiveness, and confidence.
