And on another note altogether
Dear exes,
If we have ever lived together, had a long term relationship, or were otherwise similarly involved, and the breakup could be described as "brutal", "frightening", or "harsh", it is a good idea to assume that I will not be open to any type of reconciliation. This includes acquaintance-ship, friendship, or a relationship. Why? Because that "ship" has sailed.
You see, folks, I don't say "go away" to just anybody for any old reason. I keep my friendships with the people that are friendly. I might not be friends with every single person I've ever had a friendship with, but I do keep the ones that are most important to me close to my heart.
When I say "go away", it is because you have violated my trust so completely that I finally see just how damaging and volatile the relationship is and am thus not willing to stay within reach of that. I won't contact you directly back. I won't continue to listen to you whine and complain about your life. I won't lend you my shoulder or my ear.
If I say I'm not your pillow, I'm not here for your abuse. That's it. That's final. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
So please, and this goes for pretty much everyone:
If I don't respond to you within a reasonable amount of time, and you'll know about how long that is depending (ie: text messages within the hour, e-mail within two days... IM... um... instantly or within five minutes? etc), just tap out. It means only one thing. Go the motherfudge away. Forever. Seriously, folks.
Thank you and have a nice life,
Me
