*sigh* That was a great post. Do you still think you'll end up together eventually?

This post brings tears to my eyes. How many of us have been sitting in that same bar stool as you? Or Kate? We all know the feeling. Of saying. Or receiving. But, you bring it life, so poignantly. Very impressive.

Yeah. That left tears in my eyes, especially with how emotionally charged I am today. Your language and eloquence inspire me.
I want that, D.

Wonderfully written, sir.
I wish someone thought my laugh made the earth vibrate. Mostly, men just think 'why is that hobbit making that horrible sound?'

badcat- you know, i don't contemplate it like i used to, in the sense that back then, i sort of wanted it and knew i'd have to let go in order for that to have a realistic chance. the irony of that is by letting go, you have to accept that the likely outcome is 'no, we don't end up together'. so if i had to guess, i'd say no.
somi - STOP CRYING. get to work. 
ben - thanks to you.
DS - the sentiment is mutual.
d - in all likelihood, someone's thought it but never said it. oh, and btw, i have hobbit like hair on my toes. it's blond, thank god.

Damn. I wanted the happy ending. I cried too, but I cry at pictures of puppies, sooo...
Love how beautifully you write. How much do I have to pay you to write an ending that is happy for those of us who still hope that our version of kate will finally work out?

This double post was really really good (understatement) it hit home. Impressive. We have all been there and I guess its something that makes us grow as individuals, at least thats what I am seeing in myself. Awesome blog post.

Ummm, you just gave me a sliver of hope that there are still well-spoken, smart and sensitive guys out there. Cheers!

this is equivalently beautiful and torturous to read, especially since you portray such raw emotion and circumstance so openly, succinctly.
who knew i'd feel such a sense of protection for you, wanting you to find that peace you describe in knowing SHE'S truly ok, but have it instead come from everything being ok with you BOTH, as a couple again.
but i should know you always come out seeing even glass-half-empty situations in a positive light 
however, can i still make a jab that it's her loss??

We should all be so lucky as to have as genuinely caring exes for friends as you obviously are.

Wow man. It takes guts to do something like that and write something like this.
Its really hard to "let go" and finally move on from probably the most fulfilling romantic relationship ever. It took a while for me to do that as well.
Great great post.

i am eternally terrible at letting go when i should, as i see it as a failure. this post makes it seem as if it is the noblest success one could have.
and could your puppy BE any cuter? my gosh.

It's been 6 months now since my fiance and I broke up and I still don't have it in me to put all these words down, let alone air them to the public. I'm sure it's very healing for you.

d! i have to stave off tears right now. (is that a word? stave i mean i dont know if it's the red eye i took in from new york this morning or the sweet sentimental words you wrote about us. ok i do know - it's both ANYWAY, i guess i'm just writing to say i dont know what to say. should i even be reading this btw? you are a wonderful writer, and i feel so lucky that you care(d) about me that way. it IS beautiful. and that's what it's all about. thank you.
