I have no insight on what makes people act the way they do, especially with everything that's going on and so many people hurting on so many levels, but I do know you deserve a partner who lives life as fully and with all their heart as you do. We will see you in CDMX soon!

I don't have much insight either. The one "good" thing about this particular incident was that the guy flipped so abruptly and completely that it was very clear he had a problem -- that had nothing to do with me. Thank you for the kind words -- Very much looking forward to seeing you and Nuvia!!!!!

Siel! We are not friends, but perhaps, sisters-in-arms, and god I needed to read what you wrote here tonight--- this brutal yet honest reminder about the sunshine-stealers. And, I absolutely relate to the feeling that writing gives you strength and energy back. Me too. Thank you for sharing and resonating.

I’m pretty sure you can’t just switch sides at will but what do I know? Sorry for your heartbreak, it takes time to heal.

Haha -- I think you're right about that. I actually tried starting to read a book called The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping With Chicks and gave up after like 20 pages due to lack of interest. Thanks for the kind words -- I actually feel a lot better already, now that it's fully over.

I can't even imagine another relationship.
