Saying goodbye is never easy
He said: “I’ve been expecting this.
I’ve been living on borrowed time with you for a while now.
Each time I felt like I was losing you, I seemed to say just the right thing to
keep you with me a little longer.”
I say: He is a good man, I’ve always said that and I still stand by that statement.
He deserves to be happy and I wish with all my heart that he finds
someone who can be happy with him, as he is.
He said: “I know you deserve more than I can give you,
but I wish you could settle for less and be with me.”
I say: He had done his best.
He had given all he was comfortable or capable of giving.
It was unfair of me to ask for more when he was happy with the way he is.
Goodbye Ranger.
I hope you find happiness in the arms of the right woman.

“I had the guts to say I got in the car.”
My journey with Ranger was amazing and I’m a better woman for it.
I still adore him with all my heart and he knows this.
NO FUCKING WAY !!!

Oh sweetie. I’m sorry. That sucks. xoxo
AAwww darlin breaking up friggin sucks!!
But we don’t know the whole story nor do we know what goes on away from this blog.
Don’t know what else to say other than I hope your heart heals soon.

Girls become women when they realize that they cant “fix” men. When they know what they want, and wont settle for less.
People, men and women are not each others HGTV projects, with a simple fix that takes only a weekend, and you can get all the parts needed at a big-box store.
sorry
OH NO! It seemed like you two were a good match. Hugs to you!!
Oh Kitty – I’m so sorry things didn’t work out!! I wish he could’ve given you what you need – and it wasn’t unfair to hope for more. Big, BIG hugs coming from me! If you need an ear, you know I’m here!
aaww … i’m sorry muffin
i still have chocolate cake and ice cream left
… and a couple beers, bottle of merlot, and a half a bottle of vodka
… oh the concoction we could make!!
What the? you just met the parents?!?!?!
I’m gonna cry now.
hugs
“that girl’s” sister, Teri
Awww Hon… if this really seriously means that you are no longer an item, I am so sorry… Muah!
WTF happened? I thought he was going away for work, but I reread this a few times and it seems like its over. I’m really sad for you Kitty.
Oh honey- I hope you’re OK.
xoxo
I am not sorry for you baby….you know….I am so damn proud of you I cant stand it. I am glad you got into the car too. AND…even more, I think it was a great relationship because you knew when you had to put yourself first….and then did. For once, my girl was a care-taker for herself first. *kisses* *hugs* See you soon. ~~Dee
I am so sorry to hear about your break-up. They are hard and suck…I’m sorry that it didn’t work out. I am very proud of you for knowing what you want and address the issue when your not getting those needs met. I’m sending you a hug!
Aww, sweetie! I’m sorry, but I’m SO proud of you. I’m glad you didn’t drag it out and make both of you unhappy. You know what you want, and what makes you happy, and you aren’t going to make him suffer for not being able to provide that. This still hurts, and I wish you lots of kitty kisses and big bear hugs and that your heart will heal soon. We all love you!
I’m proud of you too. I know in this relationship you tested your boundaries of what mades you comfortable and uncomfortable. I’m sure that Ranger is a good man but you deserve the best and should never settle for less than that. I hope that you do find your someone special too!
Aw, hell. I’m so sorry. But like so many others have said, I am so proud of you, too. Love ya.
He’ll get over it. Men always do. He’ll be effing someone else in nothing flat.
I’m sorry, you seemed like you were so happy. But it is best not to make it a long, tangled, emotional mess and make a clean break, the others are right.
Thank you everyone. I’m okay and so far, Ranger seems to be okay as well. Granted, he *did* run into a burning building on Sunday (to save people’s lives) but he came out unscathed and will be getting a commendation, no less! I keep telling him he has a superhero complex.
Yes, we still talk.
Yes, I still care for him.
No, we are not getting back together.
We are friends.
Yes, it really is possible.
Meerkat — well, I’m not an expert on the subject, but not all men are alike.
Thanks again for all your well wishes and support!
I don’t get it. What happened? Why? Is it really because he couldn’t give you what you needed? How do you make it seem so easy to let go? That is exactly what happened to me and my husband – he wouldn’t/couldn’t give me what I needed. It took forever to walk away and I am still rethinking the decision. We fought the whole thing for so long. I hope it works out for you. I hope you find happiness. (we can work on it together)
Awwwww – you and Ranger are no more????? I’m sorry to hear that. Breakups are always really hard.
Okay – about gambling. I usually lose. The Slots are usually a losing situation. I will sometimes put $20 after $20 in there and lose my ass off. When I hit big, obviously I come out ahead but for the most part if I don’t hit as soon as I sit down, it probably isn’t going to happen. Just about every single time I’ve won big, it happened right when I sat down.
Poker is a game of skill and it’s the best game to play if you gamble because you are playing in the poker room against actual players – you aren’t playing against the house.
Whenever you are playing against the house like slots, craps, blackjack , the house will always come out ahead in the long run.
Someone once told me if you weren’t mad at your ex for the break-up
you were still in love with ‘em
or
never in love to begin with
Any way…… sorry for your pain
I was rooting for Ranger, but alas, I understand.
i am sorry to hear that it didn’t work out my friend. i admire your strength in all that you do. you are a truly incredible woman.
Heidi –Darlin, there is still some hurt, it’s not “easy-easy”, but email me if you want and we can chat about it
Carmen — Ahhh…”the long run” is the key, then.
Jules — that’s a very thought provoking saying, thanks for that!
Queen — yeah, I was rooting for him too!
the Princess – thank you, that is high praise indeed!
Oh, Kitty. I’m sad for you.
Thanks CS. Things aren’t as bad as one would think. There is always hope.
How’s 3D treating ya? hee…hee..
Just reading this now. I am so sorry Cinn. ((huggs))
*sigh* I have no idea what to say doll. Nothing is going to make you feel better, I know. I’m just going to sit here and pretend to hold your hand, drink tequila with you and eat cake and ice cream, ok?
Sadness indeed, miss. But what I like best about breakups is the chance to spend more time with me, which helps me realize I love me more than I can ever love anyone else.
Oh my, I hadn’t been here in a while, with my mom visiting and being packed with things to do, I haven’t been reading many blogs. I’m so sorry it’s over. I thought things had gotten better after the family visit… I guess things happen for a reason, I hope you’re ok.
SM — thanks… and yet, now I must update. hee..hee… nothing like a cliffhanger, huh?
DM — Ugh… cake with ice cream and tequila? Why don’t you just stick your finger down my throat right now so I can puke? Good lord woman.. are you trying to KILL ME??? ha..ha..
Pistols — careful, i hear that too much self-love will make you go blind!
Jen — “everything happens for a reason” is a very APT description. more info to follow!
Doh, just catching up with you – what sad news
(
All I can do is echo the praise and adoration others have given you.
‘Being decisive’ – something I have difficulty with – but I’m glad you opted to get in the car – Go Girl, here’s to the next chapter xoxoxo
