The healing of the heart

[mona_lisa_73]

It's just been 48 hours since David broke up with me, but I made a lot of progress in getting over him today. And he actually helped.

David is an arrogant asshole. Or can be at least. Before school ended, I didn't see myself ending up with him, but now, I know it really could not have worked. Sure, there was attraction, but there are some things

I have avoided commenting until now on livejournal about this end-of-an-era thing, because I felt it would seem somewhat trite. But I do feel bad that stuff didn't go so well at the end between you two. It seems like open conversation (my personal favorite relationship tool) served you well in the end, and I am glad that you will move on to bigger and BETTER things. And not to be snotty, but I knew David was an arrogant asshole all along...j/k! (Sort of, lol) Anyway, good luck!

I knew he was arrogant during the relationship . . . I just didn't say anything. It's not like he would have done anything about it anyway. I don't regret our relationship--him being an arrogant asshole does not make it worthless; it just makes it interesting.

I know that was a crazy, emotional roller coaster for you, which makes you uncomfortable, but I'm glad you managed to work through all of it through a very short time in terms of relationships-- the catharsis of anger and the exchange of faults up to the acceptance of differences and the strengthening of friendship in the wake of a relationship. I mean, the relationship wasn't that bad-- a worthwhile first relationship-- and I think those that do end are often better judged by the dysfunction of the breakup than the time in it ^_^

Pssh, I don't hate him. He's got his faults, certainly, but so have we all. I get defensive of you, certainly, but not to the point of irrationality where I'm going to make enemies of people who don't necessarily deserve it. Lol . . . rather than shunning him I think I've talked to him more in the past few days than ever before . . . though after last night's Harry Potter reference :-P that could be the end of that! Lol . . .

By no means did I work through this alone--you were there with me, and for that I am grateful.

What is this Harry Potter reference? I'm curious.

Heh, lol . . . I was making dirty Harry Potter innuendos as we were discussing dirty math innuendos . . . he says I am going to freak everybody out, lol . . .
