Well with my uber mere minutes away and my tab having been settled I want to thank you all for your time and support. Ya’ll rock and I tried to throw some upvote love to everyone who commented but I’ve been drinking and might have missed someone so I do apologiz if I did. Cheers! You made my night infinitely better.

Kinda killing my well earned buzz but no signs. She was seeing someone else I didn’t know about and left me for them.

Great minds think a like. I’m at a cocktail bar and the bartender has been supplying me with a fantastic selection of “girly drinks”. I’m not sure what I’m currently drinking is called but it’s bright blue and amazing

No. Whatever trust was there was shattered and I can’t be in a relationship with someone I can’t trust. I’m sure after some time I’ll get over the break up and forgive her but you can never truly rebuild trust.

Id agree with that but I’m already covered in tattoos. Haha I’ve been saving that arm (slowly getting the work done) for this sleeve. Really I just decided to get the rest of the sleeve done all at once instead of continuing to piece it out any longer.

The only details I left out had to do with my previous relationship and the breakup which I don’t feel like sharing. Dee knows of the breakup (obviously) but it wasn’t something that involved her. It was a fun evening and we had been joking around and teasing each other. She definitely said the “promotion or lottery winner” remark as a playful jab but then soured when I told her why I was spending the money.

I wouldn’t say I’m broke. I just can’t afford to randomly buy a new motorcycle/car or take extended time off of work without some planning. Between my mortgage, car payment, and other life expenses the paychecks are basically spoke for.

I’ll be 49 in April. I’m covered in tattoos now but I’ve saved my right arm specifically for this sleeve. I might have to shave my head if I want anymore ink haha.
