And ms Blue... you are certainly welcome to bring your hunky guy. I promise to keep my hands to myself. Though I can not be held accountable for my eyes!
Though I was single for 6 years before I remarried, I honestly don't recall too many breakups... then again, I didn't have too many even remotely serious relationships so there isn't much to recall. One guy who did fuck with my head DID break up with an email... Shocked the shit out of me ,however, the circumstances were very different. We were verbally engaged and very committed - though no ring was yet bought, he courted me and my children very seriously and then just *"BAM* sent an email saying we were done because I returned an expensive gift when he REALLY hurt my feelings. Needless to say - the dude was bipolar and also had some VERY serious issues that neither I nor my kids would need. He did me a HYUGE favor breaking up with me....
Of course, every 5/6 months or so he still sends me his perfunctory *feeler dirty email* to see if I am still braindead.
