What? It's over?

I gave up, y'all. Yep, I called the whole thing - OKMG, relationship and all, off!

Now that I have your attention, let me give you the details:

OK, where did I leave off? Oh yeah, the snafu about my pseudosingle post.

Well, tensions were still simmering on Saturday when T picked me up, even though we didn't talk about it. Sure, we ate, we drank, etc., but something was amiss. I can't describe it, but it was there.

We watched a movie, Imagine Me & You, very cute, BTW - except for the very, very sad, almost-ending. I don't want to give it away, although, you can figure out the premise anyway, so what the hell? So, near the end, when the guy and the girl are breaking up, the guy says to the girl (and I'm paraphrasing here), that he only wants to make her happy and he does not want to be the source of her unhappiness.

So, of course, I lost it. I mean, just ballin away.

And T's like, WTF, what's going on, why are you crying, etc. I told her that I only wanted to make her happy and if she was miserable, what was the point of staying together and OKMG and all?

Plus, I couldn't put up with always waiting for the other shoe to drop, that no matter what I did, it wasn't going to be enough, because if I made a mistake, big or small, I was in for it. It's too much pressure and I'll never be able to measure up - NEVER! Certainly, I realize that what I am doing now does not negate all the stuff that I didn't do in the past 6 years (her main point and concern), but it's a start in the right direction.

So, after much crying and hullabaloo (I just like that word), and talking back and forth, basically, I told her I needed to go home. I mean, I just laid it out there. Y'know, let me go if you're (T) not in this with me.

Well, that hit T pretty hard, because she realised that I was serious. That, yes, she has a right to stand up for herself and get the things she wants, but it's not going to happen over night with me and I am going to make mistakes.

So we talked a bit more and she told me that she wants to be with me...

We left it at me working harder at not making mistakes (*ahem* using the 's'-word), with her giving me some slack and realising that I am going to make mistakes and that it does not mean that I am not committed to OKMG, etc.

Oy, I have not cried as much in the entire span of our relationship as I have in this last month and a half.

LOL (seriously) at you, Maidink!

One word that I don't use near enough, now that I can curse, is nincompoop (sp?). That's the best word, oh, and twit. I like twit.

well at least it wasn't a melee. i think that is the word i was looking for. you word lover you!

imagine you and me was sad? i thought it had happy ending... it currently beats 'kissing jessica stein' as one of my favorite lesbian movies... minus "the love letter" of course or even 'love actually' but i'm a british humor girl

Melee - oooh, good one!

(I also like detritus, but that is another context. I also like to practice the way that words sound, especially those from other languages.)

No, no, no. The "almost-ending" was sad. I guess I wasn't clear enough (I'm noticing a trend, here.)

THe actual ending was great, I love it when stuff works out like that. But the part where the girl and the guy break up was torture.

But, then again, I am the type of person who completely feels the emotions that the movie-makers are trying to have me feel. ie, I jump up and down, I scream at the people, I get all sappy-eyed, etc.

i give you major props for watching this with a significant other with whom there are "relationship questions". i LOVED this movie, but was balling ! so good, so deep, such a sad sad portrayal of the reality of beginnings and endings...

You know, if I would have known what the movie was, I might not have watched it. However, it's obviously good that we did, because we needed it.

I was starting to feel like all I was doing was prostrating (how's that for a good word, Sky?) myself at the feet of T and it was starting to get old.

Now, T realises this and she's got a different attitude.

So, it was good.
