joe, i don't want boy #1 punching boy #2 in the face though. he's already a bit resentful of him as is. also it's only an issue because dating anyone again after nearly three years with one person will be slightly awkward, and i might not be ready for it yet. eh. i never said it was a major issue, just something that's been on my mind lately.
brittany marie, i guess that would work for a normal person, which he is not. he would probably be all OH I LOST THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE SO I MIGHT AS WELL KILL MYSELF NOW. then what?
tania, it's actually not a huge stretch. no, it wasn't an abusive relationship while it lasted but right now i kind of feel like he's starting to become emotionally abusive, and i am not willing to put up with that. so if i ever end up back with him, feel free to remind me that it's not worth it.
it is kind of sad that i can't talk about this kind of stuff with anyone i know in real life. but thanks for the support, internet friends.
