Joe Hottie: Reconciliation

Hope Floats

Time for more post-breakup stuff:

I spent all day the other day feeling absolutely awful. I dare say it was one of the worst days of my life. But last night, out drinking at a dive bar with some of my closest friends, was quite fun. They really buoyed my spirits (while buying me spirits) and it was great for my mood, if not my liver. And then, right around 11 o clock, as the party was starting to wrap up, my cell phone buzzed.

Janet.

She said she wanted to talk. She said she missed me. She said she wanted to see me. In other words, she said all the things a guy could possibly hope to hear from a girl who'd dumped him and who he wanted back.

It was simple: I love her and if she wanted to see me, I was there. So I said my goodbyes, hailed a cab, and headed to her place. Twenty minutes later, we were in each other's arms.

"You wanted to talk?" I said.

"Yeah. I don't want to take a break, and then five months from now, realize how much I want to be with you, and you're with someone else."

"I don't want that to happen either. I love you."

"I love you, too."

We didn't say too much after that. We just lay in bed, holding each other tight, until we fell asleep.

    All I can say is you poor poor fool of a man. You must enjoy the emotional torture.

    If that was the "worst" day of your life, you've got a long ways to go. It was probably a terrible day, a hard day but say it was the WORST day of your life is pretty dysfunctional! Either that or you haven't lived very much. Life does go on. Seems to me you need to get to know yourself and like yourself.

    I agree you must be a masochist in the emotional department and Janet is a total Sadist. Have fun with your S&M!!

    I predict that the next five posts will be about the increasingly unreasonable demands that Janet starts putting on Joe in order to appease her uncontrollable insecurities. Say goodbye to your facebook page, Joe. For starters.

    It looks like she did a little fishing and came up with nothing.
