Then, I felt bad about it, like it was too private for me to see or care about. <br /><br />Your break up shocked the pants off me, I ain't gonna lie. When I saw Facebook relationship status changes, I thought it was a mistake. Interestingly, Matt and I were going through a weird spell during that time, and he accused me of being mean to him because it was "trendy among my facebook friends." I think I did something very mature at that moment and by "mature," I mean "infantile." Thankfully, we got over the whole thing. I am glad that you are happier now.Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543829492705705208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156391294580796335.post-64464983867558075252012-01-20T14:44:12.768-05:002012-01-20T14:44:12.768-05:00Interesting news.

That said, it feels like finding out an old friend is going through a break-up.<br /><br />Stranger still to consider this news in the wake of my own break-up. Sure, we weren't married, but we may as well have been after seven continuous years together, greater than 10 off-again, on-again. Everyone saw us as "the perfect couple," those friends who are made for each other, who seem to put in the needed work to make it through. One of our friends likened the breakup to the Great Wall of China tumbling down. (That was greatly exaggerated, but I appreciated the sentiment.)<br /><br />I'm sad for Dooce, too... And it feels weird to revisit her just to rubber-neck in the wake of her misfortune.theshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406703046524315073noreply@blogger.com
