So anyway...I pulled the elephant into the middle of the room for a show...lol

I talked with the s.o. about things not working because of his behavior stressing me out. I thought it was going to be this huge issue but it just wasn't. He also said he would not mind paying the whole rent if I needed to save to move to a new city(I brought that up) He thinks I am miserable because of him and that I have changed alot in the 10 years we have been together. And he said it was not a bad thing. I made a joke "well its not like we are talking investing in real estate and the state of your 401K" And he said "Thats what I am talking about..I don't even know what a 401K is."


Its just so odd that there was no freakout...I guess it helps we were friends for a year first. He said he would feel better if he helped move me forward because he feels guilty for the stress and just wants to see me happy.
This is why I had such a fear of the cut off. Hes not pure 100% ahole. The sludge of past was an easy to flush break off.

Is this how big people break up?

Off to shop for some geritol now...

Ugh, I get that all the time...that's why I don't have any interest in younger men. You don't see many men my age with a 401k, a mortgage, life insurance, a pension plan, stocks, cars paid off, etc. I feel like I have to dumb myself down to be in their level sometimes. No offense...just stating what I see in my own life.

Are you for real? They don't think about all this fracas until they push into their mid-thirties
