My little adventure into the world of "friends with benefits" has officially come to an end. Dave and I are now officially, totally and finally a thing of the past. But don't be sad about this, as Martha Stewart says..."It's a good thing."
Dave and I had been on this sexual adventure since St. Patrick's Day. And I won't lie to you, it was spectacular. But, like all things, it had to come to some sort of end. And end it did on Mother's Day.
Dave had wanted me to go with him to his parents' house on Mother's Day. I refused because his mother never liked me in all of the 11+ years that we were together, and I was not about to pretend to honor her, when I was feeling melancholy because I always think of my own deceased mother on Mother's Day. Dave got pissed off, and hung up on me. That was the day before Mother's Day. I haven't heard from him since.
I figured that, if it was going to blow over, he would call me in a few days. But, he didn't. Strangely, I was relieved by this. Today, I ran into one of our mutual friends. He said that he saw Dave at the mall, and that Dave told him that "things didn't work out with Ron."
So, that's it. I can now declare this officially finished. In the long run, it is probably best for both of us. I had moved on, and he really needs to move on. There will be a part of my heart that will always love him. You don't invest 11+ years of your life with someone and forget it like that. But we are two different people now. I am hopeful that somewhere down the line, we can still be friends. I not only loved him, but I genuinely like him as a friend too. In the meantime though, my life goes on....
