Well, tonight on the way home from visiting my parents (what a great Friday night for a newly single!) I think I had the biggest cry/anger fest of my life. I just don't know how to deal anymore.

 

It's not because of the breakup, but I know thats what triggered it. It's my whole life in general and I'm completly lost.

 

I know he wants to be there for me, and that he genuinely cares. I can sense that and see that in him. I just don't know how I can be there for him and be his friend. My life seems so chaotic right now, I'm going through such an emotional time, I feel angry and disoriented. He's so kind to me (after the breakup) and wants us to be like Jerry/Elaine (we certainly have the chemistry for it) but I don't even know what to do.

 

On Monday I'm supposed to call him for our little meeting I wanted to have (I've decided not to go) and I don't even want to talk to him because of the pain it will bring me. The pain that we're no longer and that he genunely cares.

 

I don't want to be a jerk. I don't know what to do!

sounds like everything caught up with you and you were caught unawares, you poor gal.

 

is he an ex-boyfriend or ex-husband? if you were married to him, it would be a lot harder to extricate yourself from the situation until you got a better sense of how you want to handle it, because there are all the legal issues/kids/joint holdings. However, an ex-boyfriend might just be easier to avoid until you can pull your head together and be calmer around him.

 

either which way, if it's all possible to put off your "meeting" with him, do so. Then take that time to recoup, it's perfectly allowable.

 

in the meantime, here's a
