My newish but important-to-me romantic relationship has ended.
I'm sure all the lessons from this experience will reveal themselves to me in the fullness of time, but here's #1 takeaway I've gotten thus far:
If you care about me, it's GREAT if you tell me (and being a wordy sort, I do treasure a good love letter or romantic declaration), but really, it's more important that you SHOW me how you feel. Every day. In big and small ways. That says a lot more.
Lesson learned.
Over and out.

Well this guy is just an idiot, Kate. You are a gorgeous, super hot, funny girl and he's just stupid.

Weird!!! Oh well...you can do better then! I guess he was a needy guy!
Oh my God! He really did that? After he told you he was in love with you so very recently? That's just freaky. I'd say you are likely better off.
I love watching you on Channel 10. The guy you need is out there. Just keep your eyes opem.
Clearly he had issues and did you a favor by ending it now! I'm so glad he didn't lead you any further down the relationship path. But hey, you had fun didn't you? You learned something about yourself? maybe. By the way, I thought you were WAY too cute for him, and his hair isn't really that nice after all!
He's a good guy. I have no hard feelings. It just wasn't meant to be.
And I still like his hair ;-)

I know some of the details of how this played out and you are a class act, KAG.
Oh, and I should add that I heard these details from him, not her.
He is a good guy, by the way.
Wow. I'm sorry.
"Nothing says "we're over" more clearly than a guy deciding to move back in with the woman he used to live with ;-)"
I don't know. When the wife of your wife's boss calls you to tell you to tell your wife to stay away from her husband, (could you follow that tangle of pronouns?) it becomes pretty clear that the attempt at reconciliation might not be going all that well.*grin*
Sorry to hear that things didn't work, but I'm willing to bet a buffalo nickel (now that they're only worth a nickel again) that there's a line of eager and eligible candidates forming even as we speak.
And curiously, most of them share the same first name: Anonymous.*grin*
I know you really cared about this guy, Katie. I am so sorry he turned out to be unable to appreciate you.
Sorry to hear about this. It was giving me hope as a realtively new divorcee. But like the others say, you are better off w/o him and he has made you available for someone worthy.
I took down the very nasty comment posted by one of the anonymi ;-)It referred to people who have nothing to do with any of this, so it just needed to come down.
I am continually amazed by these sorts of comments. I mean, who has time to poke around leaving ugly comments on random people's blogs?

Breaking up at the holidays is the pits, no matter what the circumstances.
Lots of people love you, Kate, including me. And if this man doesn't realize that you are a once-in-a-lifetime catch - smart, funny, adorable, kind, and yes, a little eccentric (in a good way!)- it is his loss.
You told me soon after you began seeing people again after your divorce was final that you were holding out for something truly worth the effort. You said you never planned to "settle." I really admire that attitude because too many of us "settle."
Don't stop feeling that way.

I want to date you. And now I'm going to actually ask you out.
Was going to before you started seeing R and now I will.
