After three and a half years, it's over. We had "the talk" a month ago, and I'm still bleeding. I thought I was beginning to be able to handle things, but I just ran into her, and I'm back to crying like a baby. (Yeah, I know, not very studly... certainly not very dignified for an old guy, either.) I've never loved anyone the way I loved her. I still love her, but I guess sometimes love just isn't enough.
Just because a man cries doesn't make him less of a man. The men that don't show how they feel has the bigger problem, dude. Too worried what other men think of him, so he puts on an act.. while really hurting inside, but hey, if they still want to please their fellow jerks than their lady..what can you do?
I cryed too, a lot, we are both humans, and when it hurts, it hurts. i agree with you. A man who cry is a courageous man who do not deny his humanity and who is in touch with his soul.
Thank you. Thank you all. If crying makes me courageous, then I've been pretty brave. I've been amazed at how supportive my friends and co-workers have been. People I never would have thought would care have been great. Everyone could see how smitten we both had been, and they rose to the occasion wonderfully. It has improved my opinion of humanity. I'm doing better for the last few days. One day at a time...
