"So sorry to hear that..."

I think the worse post-breakup thing having nothing to do with the actual breakup is having to constantly tell people who don't know that you've broken up.

I contemplated sending out a press release or little "I'm sorry to inform you that..." (Hallmark is going to steal that idea. Mark my words"

Honestly, it blows.

I am going to write a book/screenplay about a guy who's just broken up with his girlfriend and throughout the movie I'm going to have people inquire about his ex has a truty comic tool.

I find myself actually avoiding calling people who don't know because I am going to have to break the news to them and then deal with the following questions that I don't want to answer.

"What happened?" (I've narrowed my response down to "things just didn't work out")
"Was it mutual?" ("Yes")
"Are you okay?" (I usually lie and say "I'm fine" if only to change the topic)

So, if you still read my website, and I haven't spoken to you in the last month...
