Nothing Lasts Forever
After 8 years, Rodney and I are no longer together. It’s been a wild 24 hours, full of mixed emotions and mood swings. I have a lot to say about it, and over time, I probably will. But right now, it just feels too fragile and too close to the surface to talk about. It also seems disrespectful somehow, so I will keep the details private for now.
Many of you have supported us over the years, offered comfort when we needed it, offered joy when we celebrated a milestone. I really appreciate the support we receive from people I’ve never even had the pleasure of meeting face to face. Thank you for that.
The context and dialog of this site will undoubtedly be changing as I start a new life. I have no idea what the future will bring. There are many open questions to be answered in our lives. No matter what though, and no matter how much it hurts right now, I know that I’ll be okay.
I’m going to Illinois this weekend, so I will be out of pocket for a few days. But I just wanted to put this out there. Talking on my blog is therapeutic, it helps me get things off my chest. So that’s the news.
Did you like this article? If so, please share it.
What? I didn’t read that right…..I hate to hear this news. You know where I am if you need some ears. I do listen well! HUGS!
dear god in heaven, you’ve 100% caught me off guard. totally and completely. I have not much to say except that I hope and wish for your sanity, the protection of both of your hearts, and for your long-term happiness. Be in touch when you can. I’m shocked.
Oh wow! I’m really sorry to hear that and can’t imagine what you are both going through. One day at a time and everything will work itself out the way it is meant to.
Wow. Completely shocked here. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts…
I read that with my heart in my throat, I’m so sorry sweetie. Take the time you need and if you need to bitch you know how to reach me.
This is a shock. Our thoughts are with you. xo
Oh Nathan. I’m so sorry.
Breakups are always hard, even when it’s the right thing to do.
*hugs*
I Couldn’t believe what I was reading this morning. I hope you’re doing well and best wishes going forward.
Best of luck…
Goyo
Completely shocked!!! We’re here to listen Nathan.
I am shocked, and heartbroken for both of you. And crying. I’ll e-mail….
I am shocked. I don’t know what to say. But, I also at the point in my life where I understand that relationships are very complex organisms and that only the microbes involved in them know what is best.
I hope you will call me. Let me know if you want to talk or come hang for a bit in San Fran.
As I have been in the fledging phase of my first gay relationship, I have really enjoyed how transparent you have been in your own relationship. Robert & I are praying for you… wishing you the best as the next chapter unforlds.
Shock… I’m sorry things didn’t work out for the two of you. As you know, I’m going through the same thing, and if you need a listener (I”m sure you have plenty), I’m here to listen. I don’t / won’t offer any advice.. but HUGS to you and HUGS for Rodney as well. Now I know my tears tonight won’t just be for me….
hey, sorry to hear this. best wishes.
I can only say that I am stunned and very sorry to hear this news.
Good luck..
I am srry to hear about the break up but brighter days are yet to come and I am sure you will be a better (happier) person for it. I felst similar when I seperated from my bf a few years ago. It helped me to write about it (http://namjablog.blogspot.com/2006/03/anatomy-of-love-lost.html) but everyone handles this kind of loss in different ways.
There is one thing that lasts forever: love. I hope you find peace in time with recent events… and we’re here to be on the journey with you.
Hugs
Thank you so much for your support. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. I’ve had a productive weekend here at my parents’ house and had time to think about a lot of things.
In the mean time, I just want you all to know how much it warms my heart to log on here and see such an outpouring of support. I really appreciate it.
Hugs to every single one of you.
