The Gentleman Caller and I are kaput.
We’ve been friends for years, have great chemistry, but timing, distance, and circumstance were not in our favor.
I’ve been angsty (yes, I realize that’s not a word) for a while now. We didn’t get a chance to see each other over the holidays and that left me feeling like our dwindling calls and emails and our lack of physical presence wasn’t really providing for a growing relationship.
Earlier this week, we finally talked about things and came to the mutual conclusion that what we had wasn’t really working. {sad trombone}
With that said, it was probably the nicest breakup in history…and I know we’ll remain friends and still see each other here and there.
While there were no tears, accusations, or airing of “red flag” issues, I’m still sad. I had hopes that he would be the one…but I think a lot of that was artificial and that I just feel like I’m in a ready place for love.
I know I’m still a work in progress, but I learned A LOT from this relationship…and it has left me feeling hopeful that love IS around the corner and when I finally find it, it will rock my world!
Awww… no worries Jen. Around the corner for sure.
Oh Jen, I am so sad for you, but glad that it went so smooth. God has the perfect plan for you. Love you!
OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!! I so had hopes…
I know the feeling. I’m glad it was a “nice” and mature break-up though.
Sad trombone for sure.
I’m in LA with a few gals next Fri – Monday. Wanna come play? Ping me for deets.
Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. But it seems like you’re handling it really well. It’s so cliche to say, “better to know now rather than later,” but….it is better.
Even if they’re nice and mature, breakups suck. Thinking of you.
breaking up is always hard to do.
glad to hear there was no “drama” behind it and you were able to remain civil and adult-like.
wishing you lots of opportunities for new LOCAL love this year!
p.s. (angsty is totally a word…..when you’re feeling it)
I’m so sorry to hear this, friend. I was rooting for you. I’m glad things ended well, as well as they can in this sort of thing. I’m praying that love is around the corner for you and for me. Here’s to 2012!
I’m sorry, friend.
But man, I love your perspective.
That stinks! So sorry it didn’t work out. I think you need to move to Texas. You’d be fighting them off here:-)
Big hug to you friend…. with my arms, that would be like 3 or 4 times around ya. Stinky times, but so glad you’re able to learn from it and take it in stride. God DOES have the perfect plan for you Jenny-pooh!
WHOA. Dude, I’m so sorry. I feel blindsided right now. I’m so sorry. Thinking of you…
That’s hard. Breakups stink. But, you’re right, love definitely IS around the corner!
JJ, I’m going through my reader for the first time in forever and just saw this. I’m sorry…and I’m sorry that I didn’t know it when we chatted earlier this week. I feel like such a jerky friend, but know you are often on my mind. Love you!
