We got that stuff unpacked and then realized Missy didn’t have any food.  We also needed to go grocery shopping and pick up some stuff, so we went back to my apartment and picked up Missys stuff and the rest of stuff that we forgot and headed to the grocery store.  I forgot how much trouble it is moving.  I just wanted to sleep.  After we got all that done there was some misunderstanding and he ended up asking me to leave.  I think he is just mad about the breakup.  I can’t help what is.  In any case I don’t think I will ever see him again at this point.  I came home and my house was A MESS!  I don’t even know where to begin.

Break ups are hard.  I don’t know if it is even possible to remain friends when one is resenting and blaming the other.  Basically… I am just having a rough time.

I know we just got engaged, but when we started looking to the future we realized that we want a few different things. It’s been the hardest decision of my life. Whitney has been looking for a new place to live and I think he found one yesterday. I am pretty sure he is signing the lease today. Good thing is he will be able to keep Missy. I would love to keep her, but I don’t think it would be fair to keep her in the kennel all day long. It’s hard to lose 2 things that I love so much at the same time. It’s going to be so weird coming home to an empty apartment. I think he is moving out tomorrow or the next day.

The weirdest thing is that I still want to be friends with him. I have never wanted to stay in contact with an ex before. Usually I just want to stay away from them and move on with my life. I don’t know if it’s because we have been friends for 17 years or what it is, but I can’t imagine not laughing with him and being in support of one another. Anyhoo, sorry I haven’t posted for a while. Just been going through a lot.
