Amen Rev...well spoken....RT time to sack up

[Regulator]

At this point, RT is playing jedi mind tricks with RT.

[PBR...]

No RT her being happy means she has checked out of the relationship. she is happy that you guys have finally came to a decision that you werent meant for one another and she is happy that its time to move on. The weight has been lifted off her/your shoulders and she is waiting for you to  bring up who is moving out, how to split possessions etc....

[labart96]

In an unrelated development, FFMRT decided to tell RT she'd "had enough" and started to pack when all of RT's friends/wives were in town for the weekend. Completely selfish timing and RT somehow talked her off the ledge. We've been communicating today but RT is feeling like he needs to sit down w/ her once and for all and put this thing to bed. RT has not been looking forward to this moment

Why prolong this any further?  Are you a sadist, a masochist, or both?  She knows its over.  You know its over.  LLPP knows its over.  Are you worried about her feelings?  You've already hurt her feelings, so forget about that.  And she has not only hurt your feelings, but she's hurt you finaincially, socially, and other ways that I cannot think of at the moment.

Put it to bed?   This relationship is not asleep.  It is dead.  Don't put it to bed.  Bury it.  To quote my favorite bearded gentleman, Jesus: "Let the dead bury their dead."  Move on.  Shake the dust from your sandals.  She is like Legion.  Put her into a herd of swine and let her run off the cliff.

Her meltdown this weekend was pre-meditated to make you look like a sap--worse: to make your friends and their wives uncomfortable while there and then give them reason to talk about you all the way home before finally deciding that it's your fault for putting up with FFMRT's ish for as long as you have.

RT, everyone you know will slap you on the back and congratulate you for finally getting this virus known as FFMRT out of your bloodstream.  They will only wonder what took you so long.  Hell, everyone at LLPP wonders.  even The Guru wonders.  WTF?

I'm sorry to be so harsh, but let my now-unused priestly training come in handy for a moment: The sex is not worth it.  Son, this is not love.  This is your own private Guantanemo. 

Esto vir!  Be a man!  You know what you must do.  Now do it.  Get it over with.  Get rid of her.  Be free.

Can I get an "Amen"?

This is the gospel according to Rev.   amen.  k`+

[realistic]

AMEN!!!!!

[formerwu]

I'll give an "Amen" as well.

I will give my son this advice when he is old enough to discuss women,

"Son, find a girl who is more in love with you, than you are in love with her.  When it comes down to it, we all get tired of the same old hole.  Once you start wanting to hang out with your bro's again, your lady won't give you grief.  She'll "Understand thats what guys do".  If you get tired of her, move on to the next one.  For every pretty girl in the world, there is a guy who is tired of her."

I have said my peace.

Good observation, PBR.

The Rev regrets his tirade a little bit.  RT will be a hero if he handles his situation with tact and gentleness.  There's really no need for RT to be as unkind to FFMRT as my post suggested.  Calmly sitting down with her, laying the truth of the situation out, and then offering her a good, respectable way out will likely do more than kicking her to the curb.  She's looking for an escape hatch that she can use without being ashamed of herself.  Give her one.

"FFMRT, I loved you, but since you said that we will not marry, it's clear this is over.  We've been dragging this out too long and hurting each other, for which I am sorry.  But it's time for you to move out.  You can have this, this and these things. I'm keeping the big screen TV because foosball season is about to start."

Believe it or not, The Rev planned to get married a several years back.  Long story that The Rev doesn't need to get into now, but we dragged each other through the minefield for an extra two years or so.  She ended up marrying in Jan 2005.  In May 2006 she started contacting The Rev again.  By that point The Rev had retreated back to his clerical roots and had another year of seminary under his belt. (Hence why I was in NYC last year.)   Ex tried to get The Rev to commit adultery with her because she was unhappy with hubby.  The Rev put the brakes on that immediately.  At that point, the Rev understood his duty and now viewed himself as her older brother.  The Rev gave her a session of straight-talk as any older brother would.  At first it surprised the ish out of her.  But once she got the message, she and her hubby (who I think is the biggest d-bag in the world) have vastly improved their relationship and they've finally commite to buying a house and she's going to squeeze out puppy #1 in a few months.  Now The Rev has to admit some bad feelings (i.e. that woman, house, baby should be mine, not that d-bag's) but at the same time, The Rev knows that life just didn't play out that way and that's that.

Ex and Rev are no longer interested in each other, obviously, but Ex repects Rev more than she ever did when we were "an item."  As for Rev, I just want her to be happy, even if it means that she stays with D-bag.  (Although The Rev has to admit he can't understand how she sees anything worthwhile in him.  God, how I hate his guts.)

Link of the day

Cougar sightings are quite common here in Southern California.  In fact, TGP was recently at both of the (west valley) bars listed in the LA/California section of UC's report.

RT - TGP recommends you consider doing some cougar hunting in the Saratoga region.

A day in the life of EngiNegro...

somebody questioned a simple forcast I put out for august (at one time, many moons ago when gro was new, gro screwed this forcast up and it hasn't happened since in over a year), which would have been fine if they didnt' copy 6 other people on the reply... Gro responded to all with some mathematical gymnastics then signed off with

"it's science".
