#WTF: So ... I just got a text from Romeo

He just doesn't go away does he.

There I was minding my own business watching SYTYCD, and what do I get?

A text ...

but not just any text ...

a text from Romeo aka my first love who I told my personal truth to a few months back and then when he declined my advances I decided to terminate the parastic relationship entirely.

That call was hands down one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do, but I meant EVERY.SINGLE.WORD.

Loving someone doesn't ever go away, it merely evolves. We had a great friendship over the years but absolutely every bit of everything in our dynamic had run its course.

I'm now in a more stable place with my work that I am seeking more, and I want a partner - I'm ready for a commitment.

Based on his timing, I hoped that would have been him - but alas, it was no bueno.

Here's the text ...

These two sentences sum up Romeo completely. He needs something from me and based on the love that I have had for him over the years, I have always always always been there for him.

Now, I've moved on ... and I FUCKING MEANT IT.

It took me three minutes of COMPLETE disbelief before I decided to respond ...

I said to him SO FIRMLY on the phone that this was it. I couldn't talk to him anymore, I very literally wanted nothing to do with him. I, of course, will never wish him ill - but I was placing a boundary and he had to respect that.

This is him pushing and testing.

As something I have never done with him before ... guess what? This is my push back Romeo - I'm done. done. done. and the promo you wanted to use me for? Guess what, I just granted you a post. Well done, peace out homeslice!
