SHOUT-OUT TO MS. SCARLET FROM MISCHA

I had a similar experience: He gave me a claddah ring on Christmas (it's an Irish thing, I think), took a four day trip (only to Lake Tahoe) and then broke up with me (only over the phone). I know EXACTLY how she feels. This happened about a year ago. Please tell her it gets so much better. It does suck for a long time. The first month, though, is the absolute worst. I couldn't eat, all I did was sleep...I cried a lot. But after she gets through that, she'll slowly heal. She'll feel herself getting stronger, more independent. I look back and can remember the pain, but it doesn't hurt: kinda like being on Vicodin (I bet from the WT'98 incident, you know about that). But now, I am happier than I ever was with the Irish Ex. Being single ROCKS. She just needs to remind herself constantly that she'll be okay, and she'll be happy again.
