RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Fortress of Awesome Chat After 3 years, crawfordcrow is single once again.

I know I'm not a "regular" regular around here, so I won't recount the events of the past couple months (or, on a broader scale of beyond-relationship troubles, the past year), especially since it doesn't really have any interesting bits, like cheating or anything. ...But, suffice it to say that, much to my dismay (and a host of other positive and negative emotions), the relationship that I've spent the last three years orbiting my life around is officially over as of today. In short, my gorgeous, once-doting girlfriend went bye-bye.

This house is emptier than usual, with new naked spaces where her stuff once was... the silence just hangs there, even underneath any music or TV I have going... no one will go out to eat or shop or read my comics with me... the bed is empty... OK, sorry, pity party over.

I went out and got some pizza, a growler full of Scottish Ale from the local Skagit River Brewery (and a full case of Mike's Hard Lime at Costco, just for back-up ), and am determined to act on my right in this circumstance to drink heavily and alone for the night. ...Of course, I don't want to be totally alone, so will anyone hoist one for me tonight?

To start things off, I'm enjoying a nice 12 year single malt scotch, then (ok, I'm already there) it's the beer, then the Limes I have in the freezer if I have the fortitude.

Bottoms up, kids!

P.S.: Any girls in the Seattle area (which, because I do pay some attention here, I already know there are none), my aesthetic credentials (by which I mean, some so-so photos) are on display in the Men Show Yourselves thread. I work at Providence Hospital in Everett, WA, and I'm really sweet and cool. Take me home; amaze your friends and neighbors!

Sorry to hear that, crawford. I can only hope it's for the best. If it makes you feel any better, I currently have to live nine hours away from my girlfriend of 2+ years. It basically consists of long nights of solo wine drinking, and patterned phone calls. So, I guess, I'm with you in spirit...

Tough break, man.

Thanks, guys. I'm already on the Limes. Hell, I might need to break out the tequila, the ouzo, and the scary sweet lick-yoors in the back of my cabinet before all is said and done. ...Anything but the Everclear.

Dammit. It's always this time during the summer that girls seem to "shed" their "baggage". Not to stay you were baggage Crow... you know what I mean. I think the heat goes to their heads.

Then there's Lor's dumbass former fiance...

Well, Crow does have a huge sack, but I doubt that's the baggage you're referring to. I think that's just the heat.

My condolences, pal. I'll hoist the last of my Paulaner beers for ye. Perhaps mix German beer with Irish whiskey and see what kind of Boilermaker I can come up with...

Bombs away!!!

Sorry to hear that, mate. That shit is never fun.

I guess you'll have more time for us now though, so it's not all bad...kinda sorta (that of course being the worst runner up prize ever).

Ohhh... I achieved my goal of oblivion, last night. ...Drinking many gallons of water, today.

Thanks everyone for the raised glasses and well-wishes. Now that I can think again (albeit with some difficulty and pain)...


Pro, that long distance situation has got to be hard. You have my sympathies.

TK, I know what you mean - it does seem like this kind of shit happens in July and August a lot.

PCG, yes, it is huge, but is sadly overshadowed by the large item that drapes over it.

Joe, you must report on the success of your concoction. ...If there are any survivors.

Klinton, thanks, and, hey, at least I get a runner-up prize.

Wednesday, you know what? I think it's going in my signature.

Uschi, if I ran to a titty bar every time a gay guy wanted to mate with me... well, I guess I'd get some exercise every once in awhile, at least. But, you can save me a seat, if you like - I'll even put a few bills in front of you, so that you get some special attention.

Crawfs:

If she's the type of person to shatter the wall of stain glass you two built for three years and expect you to just screw it all, she isn't good enough for you anyway.

You'll survive and move on to a bigger and better relationship elsewhere, and it will be rather unfortunate for her when she wakes up one morning and realizes she made a ghastly mistake giving up her Vitamin C, and she just may try and beg you to take her back. But not if I have anything to say about it! Just say the word and it'll be off with her head!

hey me too crafs! your not alone hun, my relationship of three years ended two/ almost three weeks ago. so dont worry hun things will get better i know how you feel though my house is really empty too. if you need to chat about it or whatever email me or AIM me.

i dont know how serious yours was but we where engaged and he left me with out warning. you can read about it partly in my Lor thread in the wimmons forem. ut might make you feel better.

I hate hitman shortages!

HA HA HA HA HA HA

Give me a round-trip plane ticket and $200, Lor.
I'm cheap, but efficient!

Thanks, gang.

I read your thread, Lor - that sucks. You have my deepest sympathies. I must say that my relationship ending was almost as abrupt and unfair. It's good to see you're moving on. And, thank you for the reach-out; I appreciate it.

I'm dreading going to work tonight. She works for a contracted company that works in my hospital - I no longer work where I have to see her (different shifts, even), but everyone in the department knows both of us. It'll be my task to have to answer endless questions about "what happened". ...Guh. Wish I had some vacation time coming up.

On the bright side, there are a lot of cute girls who work at the hospital.

cry me a river..who give s a shit.............

you got sex for 3 years..deal with it..man, that's tragic..
