Disappointment

Let's face it, people, break-ups are ugly. I mean, even though my break up with C wasn't particularly ugly, it has it's days when it certainly goes down that road.

Today was one of them.

I'm not going to go into specifics; we've got mutual friends who read this blog and so that's just not cool.

One of the things I'm thinking about tonight is the "residual ugliness" that comes along with a break up. Specifically, the division of friends.

You hear about that phenomenon....when mutual friends "take sides", or are uncomfortable with one partner or the other for whatever reason. Tonight I'm feeling the sting of that. I'm feeling a lot of disappointment...disappointment in people that I thought were above that kind of thing. People that I believed in more than I've ever believed in anyone. It's hard not to take it personally. Again, no details, but I'm feeling pretty "out in the cold"...to the point where if it weren't for the girls, I'm probably pack my bags and leave the city. And that's a pretty crappy feeling.

I guess that's the danger in putting people up on a pedestal. We're all just human after all.
