So I guess I'm breaking up with my boyfiend.

Take the dog outside? No walkies? I’ll do walkies!

You would be amazed. AMAZED. He prefers being with his people and has gone through three gauges of wire to do so. Right through the wire! Never gets hurt! Easier to train him to potty in a hurry and watch his innocent-looking ass.

Well, he changed his relationship on Facebook and has been cleaning up the garage. I feel pretty good about it, all told. But my jaw is so tense that my whole face hurts.

No words of wisdom, but a question (and, dammit, I forgot to drop off my film again!): Did he ever again talk in a fake British accent when you called him?

No, but when very drunk he did sometimes come in speaking in faux Shakespearean prose and pretended not to hear you unless you responded in kind.

I’ve just changed my relationship status on Facebook. I’d kept it because I thought my ex hadn’t told his family that we’d separated, and I wanted to avoid awkward questions.

But he has told them. So fuck it all :smiley: I’m free and easy :wink:

I just got rid of my relationship status altogether, which evidently showed up as a wall post? Anyway, I was a little miffed nobody asked me about it! He got all kinds of comments on his!

Yeah, I don’t know what goes on with relationship status changes and wall posts. I changed from “Married” to “In an Open Relationship” and it posted all over the place. I changed from “Open Relationship” to “Separated” and it was all “Nobody gives a shit about that, bitch, I’ma not even post it”

One of my FB friends changed his relationship status to single recently. He added a comment along the lines of “If you comment on this, I will never talk to you again. Facebook is not the time or place.” Maybe some of your friends think like that.

Yeah, I never comment on relationship statuses. What are you going to say? “Congratulations, I hated the guy you loved for years?” “Sorry for your loss, he was a great guy!”? It really isn’t the time or place.

Because he is running 3 other unsuccessful things is not a great excuse to also be a crappy roomate, IMHO. It’s just another great example of a Peter Pan and/or selfish lifestyle.

Well, “open relationship” is about a zillion times more gossipworthy, see.

Well, “open relationship” is about a zillion times more gossipworthy, see. Facebook is just looking out for your nosy friends.

Facebook is a yenta?

Well, the people commenting on his status are classy about it - nobody’s mentioned me at all, it’s very lighthearted. Of course there are plenty of people who thought his campaign manager was his girlfriend because I’m just not as social as he is.

I call bullshit. You post to a social network site and then tell people not to comment?? Talk about passive aggressive !!!

Alcohol is truth serum. He played games like that, when drunk. Welcome to his sober inner monologue…

Well, that’s the stuff I’m going to miss!

Hey-you get to look forward to getting laid !!! :smiley:

But how on earth am I going to satisfy my rough-sex-with-Shakesperean-monologue fetish?

Well-sharpened nails wreak bloody weals
P’ raps feral growls or frantic squeals
Entice the famished to a meal
Served by a drunken bawdy Bard.
