All time low for the male species:
Okay, you thought my getting dumped in a parking lot was bad? How about getting dumped via email by the same person that fought so hard not two months ago to get you back?
Let’s not forget this is probably one of the most stressful workdays in months for me — I leave for New York in less than 24 hours. Isn’t that special? Not like it was a surprise, though. (And I’m referring to the respectful way in which it was delivered as well as the timing.) Don’t get me wrong — I take 50% of the responsibility for our situation failing, I just can’t believe the way I was communicated with when it did.
The consideration is overwhelming. Really. Very thoughtful. Wooo.
You probably noticed that Jeremy’s photo was removed from my “mugs of friends” yesterday, had you checked. I’d already decided on Monday afternoon that I’d had enough of the lack of communication and constant frustration by that point.
Why email? Hell if I know. He didn’t have the balls to call me and ask for some time to talk, but rather sent a brief message yesterday via email after not talking to me for almost three days asking if I had time for him last night. Uh… How’s no? Why would I make time in my stupidly busy day when he didn’t even have the courtesy to pick up a phone and call me?
So, rather than giving me some time to stop pulling out my hair, workwise, or call me to discuss things, he sends an email this morning saying basically that we weren’t meant for each other. By EMAIL??!? CLASSY!!! Oh, but, the best is yet to come… Then he has the balls to ask if we can stay friends?
Well. He’s made it easy for me to get over him at any rate. *MEN*
Hey — I’m actually doing just fine with this. Obviously, I’m flabbergasted by the overwhelming lack of respect, but, my head is in a great place. I’m going to have a fabulous time in New York this weekend with Jenn, and an awesome business week at the tradeshow booth.
Tomorrow is a brighter day. Heck, today is for that matter.

Email? Ugh. Yeah, you *so* deserve better… NYC will certainly take your mind off all the icky stuff. May you have a delightful journey, there’s always fun things to do there.
Maybe I’ll actually show for one of these “get togethers” ones of these times
Owch! What a complete rotter! That’s just cowardly. I can’t believe how immature that is. Fuckin’ EMAIL.
I’m going to miss seeing you at the rowing club this weekend but I’ll think fondly of you tearin’ it up in NYC. Have a BLAST and let’s have a movie night when you get home!
An email!! Jeez!! Hope you find someone better soon. Maybe not TOO soon. But soon. Oh what the heck. Tomorrow’s soon enough.
[[place eye roll here]] Just a note — I do have access to IP addresses when you comment. Normally I don’t even consider them, but this last one has been noted. Do you really think I’m that stupid? Whomever left that comment really needs to grab a life. Seriously. How mature are you? [[/eye roll]]
On a more positive note — Thanks you guys! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this was a blatently cowardly way to communicate such things.
I look forward to getting together with everyone when I return to Vancouver!
*Theme to Sex and the City playing in the background*
Go to The Big Apple…. When you get there, order yourself and Manhattan, toast to your new found freedom, and have fun, a night out on the city, just you and the girls. You only live once…. and heck, you might fall in love with the city. You only live once. Just take lots of photos for your Blog, OK!
Have a good time.
*music stops*
Kudos to you T on your attitude – we will sure make the most of our girl time in NY – yar!
Hi, Tanya:
I “followed the yellow link road” here from Col’s page…I had wanted to say again how nice it was to meet you and talk with you recently.
Sorry to hear about this latest news, if only because it makes my own Y-chromosome all the more shame-ridden…but here’s to a quick bounce-back, and looking forward with high spirits!
Cheers!
hey girl sorry to hear about how shitty men can be, there are way nicer men out there believe me.. hey you have a blast in NYC lucky bum, and we wil be sure to have a girls night out when you return…..
Make that a Cosmopolitan…it you’re looking to recreate a true “Sex in the City” experience.
Boys are so retarded! They think they’re are so smart and so slick…when are they ever going to learn?
You know, the time comes (usually around junior high school) where you have to grow up and do it in person….and sometimes, you just have to rip it off like a band-aid. Sending an “e-break-up” is really just a technologically advanced way of passing a note in class. I’m surprised this email didn’t include a “check yes or no box.”
He needs to grow up. Who needs boys anyway when there are REAL men out there!?
Hey, welcome cajuntexan! I’m glad you made it by. I’m sorry about your recent hurt as well. I’ve come to realize that some men are truly not worth the pain they cause.
Thanks everyone for your encouraging words — Having a support network to turn to really helps lighten the load, and take my mind away from the things that do take a bit of time to heal.
Hey, I hear there are lots of single guys in New York. Not that I would know though. Cause, well, I’m not gay.
I’ll stop now…
AMEN sister! Thanks for your kind words as well…I’m doing fine now. Hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it?!
You live it up in NYC woman! And watch out for those subway cat sized rats! They really DO exist and they’re freakin’ SCARY!
Tell Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda hi for me!
*grumble* If I knew where this guy lived, I’d go and hurt him for being such a rotten person to you (which is what I said to him when I met him at the morrissey). There is no excuse for the lack of respect that he showed you.
Have fun in NY with Jenn! See the sights and treat yourself! I think that your time in NY will be rejuvenating. You deserve it
*HUGS*
Loved dinner… You have a great time and meet lots of guys. I’m sure there are lots of single firemen.
Lots of love.
M
T,
I’m glad we had a chat to chat today. Again, sorry for the crappy news at such bad timing. It’s not like you don’t have enough to stress about before the trip and all.
Anywho, I’ll be down in a week or so. We’ll do coffee… hmmm, scratch that… something more potent!
Have a great trip!
sorry t, that sucks…people like that make us men look absolutely silly. when you come back, we’ll go out, have dinner and ward off evil ex significant others! i’m on a mission to prove that us guys aren’t *all* bad!
*blink* Talkin’ about unacceptable! Wow … you’re better offf without a guy who does shit like that, my friend.
New York sounds like it’s going to be a riot. I’m a wee bit jealous
