I can... get reallllllllyyyy cold when I feel cornered. It was well, a really unexpected break up - I'd been gone for the weekend, and when I left he told me to buy myself a nice meal while I was gone and he'd pay for it! The next time I saw him when I got back... he showed up at my flat with a bag with the stuff I'd had at his place. It floored me, so I went into total shock and defence mode.

We've got mutual friends, although I've only seen him once since the break up. Which was a few days AFTER the break up! At a dance, that I'd bought our tickets for. He bought himself a new ticket to attend!

It gets easier with time, honest. At least if you tell her... you'll know that you did the most you could, and that it's her loss (not that you'll think that last part, but what they hey, let's throw in cliche sayings!)
