breaking up gracefully


sorabji.com: I need advice: breaking up gracefully

    so we haven't communicated at all since we broke up last thursday.

    i wrote kevin an email late this afternoon asking if it would be okay if i stopped by tomorrow around 6 p.m. (he'll still be at work at that time) to see my cats, drop off some cat food and litter, and pick up my stuff. i haven't heard anything back from him, but i know he checks his email about 100 times a day.

    so now what? what should i do?

    to say that i'm not doing so good these days would be a gross understatement. i miss my kitties so much and it would be good for me to see them and be with them even for a little while.

    i don't think he's going to make this easy for either of us, and this too makes me sad.

    Sarah, I wish I had some words of advice for you, but I don't. Break ups are hard. This one sounds particularly hard because it really involved so many aspects of your life and left you alone. I am sorry for that. I know how it can hurt. I would offer you one of my cats if I thought it would help, but I know it won't. Can you believe I am actually at a loss for words? How did that happen?

    Take care of you and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

    If they're your cats why did you leave them behind?

    i can't have pets at my apartment, and the property manager who lives 3 doors down is very strict about it. since i brought them to texas from hawaii, they've been living at kevin's house, where they can go in and out as they please, they live in a safe, quiet, low-traffic area, and they have a huge house and yard to play in.


    i'm taking next week spring break to go house hunting. i need to move so i can get them out of there.
