/~ and I feel fine ~/

Well. More or less. It's not what I wanted, but sometimes a relationship is past its best before date. So now I'm definitely single. Which I admit is something of a novelty really. The last time was probably about a week at the end of February 1998. But it's not really the end of the world, and despite a somewhat teary evening I do actually feel quite positive about stuff. And have a lot of wonderful memories, as well as keeping an excellent friend. What's not to like?

The moon is shining tonight. It's not full. It's not new. And to my nethack addled mind that seems a good omen of sorts.

Nice userpic, btw. Where's the beach?

I'm glad you're coping so well. One of the worst things about being poly, from what I've seen of it over the last year or so, is that it allows the possibility of multiple breakups in quick succession, which must be awful... One ending at a time is quite enough to have to deal with. *hugs*

I guess. Though partly this breakup was a side effect of the other party to it never having expected it to be a "serious" relationship in the first place. I think I've only ever been in poly situations rather than it being a thing that I need to be, but we certainly shouldn't have made the mistake of not talking about the implications of a "secondary" partner becoming an only partner.

A friend of mine a long time ago said to me:

"If the light in your life goes out...get a new bulb."

Anyway, sounds as if you're coping well with it all.

Keep smiling.

Nowt wrong with being single. In fact, I'm scared for those people who seem really incapable of coping with it, to the stage of always flitting on to the next partner when the previous relationship comes to an end.

(As opposed to being with the same partner for a long time.)

Gee thanks. (Not been single for more than a month max since I was 18). It just sort of happened that way though. Right now I have no plans to be anything other than single for the immediate future.

Well, in your case, you're just very popular *grin*

The moon is waning.

I'll leave the meaning of that to you *grin*

Glad to hear you're still friends; since my two closest friends are both exes I know how much it can mean.

hugs (((((lnr))))). And at least you're staying positive and you and Mike are staying friends. Have a great time at Reading.
Like your icon btw!

I'm never entirely sure what to say in these situations, but my thoughts are with you and I've not been saying stuff because you said you don't want to talk about it, but if you do decide you want a chat about anything then I'm here.

:-( The best I've got is a "glad things aren't worse", which is by no means good.

Thinking of you, hoping that the joys extend far past Reading.
