At Face Value

"The One", "The Other", and I watched a spectacularly bad movie together last night. Just before the movie "The Other" made a comment that hit below the belt, he went right for the throat of one of my worst weaknesses and made my bad day even worse. (Hence the previous post) The only time I made contact with anyone during the movie was when I was bitter about the choice of entertainment and was making comments of forcing the guys to watch "Steal magnolias" or "Beaches" to get back at them.

Later I got online to talk to "The Other". After telling him he's and ass and getting an apology, he told me he has no plans to pursue our relationship. He plans to let go and get over me. It'll take me a while to let go. Giving up the sex won't be that bad, I already can't remember well enough to get excessively wet thinking about how he feels inside me. What will be hardest is giving up the level of connection and communication that we have. I tell him everything, more than that, I want to tell him everything. He's always there to listen. He's always non judgmental and supportive and makes me feel happy, whole, connected, loved, appreciated, accepted. . . Whatever it is that I need or want to feel. That's what I'm going to miss.

Good-bye "My Other". May our friendship be wonderful, if not wholly fulfilling.
