Thank you all ladies. It will just take some time.

And in the meantime, all I can do is look fab.

Awwww lyn, I'm so sorry to hear of this! Sadly, these things happen, and it's not always easy. What I want to say next, you likely may not understand at the moment, but in time, you might. One of the classes I'm taking towards my counselling diploma is about transitions. Every transition begins with an ending - so in a way, this is the beginning of something better! Yes, it will be difficult, disorienting, distressing... But in the end, you'll pull through and be better than where you are now

Sending you lots of positive vibes and support from here, and as always, keep being the fab girl you are!

Lyn, you've received lots of wisdom here already. All I can say is that you are a truly fabulous person and just so lovely and generous - it all comes through in your posts. The Boy has made a very poor decision, one that he will surely regret. You are a catch(!!) and you will find the right person soon. And it will be a better fit, in the long run.

All my best, and a big hug to you!

Oh well, that's a rotter. But hey, the important thing is you look good.

Perhaps it's the astrological weather, because actually I've let go of my b.f. and my neighbor has broken up with hers. It's been a busy week.

So so sorry Lyn. It seemed to be going so well. I think Carter has a point though. Sorry to hear of your break up Rachy.

So very sorry, Lyn. This hurts.

I'm so sorry you are going through this awful time. You are absolutely deserving of a wonderful relationship. Thanks for keeping up your posts here; I really enjoy your outfits and your observations on style and on life. I'm sending more good wishes to you for better days ahead.

Sorry to hear about things, rachylou We can commiserate together.

Thank you for all of your collective wisdom. I do not feel very fab at this moment, but I have enough FFBO to get me through the next little bit. I am pretty excited to bring out some of my summer stuff, and it's going to be a beautiful day outside tomorrow. No need to stay in and be glum.

I am starting to feel better already. Thank you all.

Lyn, so so sorry about this. It really hurts and there is no way around that. Remember, you don't just LOOK fab. You are fab. Hang in there.

Rachylou--- you, too.

Wow. The moon is in fullness. Maybe that is the issue.

Thanks lyn, anne. Just impossible circumstances.

*Virtual girl's commiseration night out*, right? Right!

Sorry to hear this news Lyn and RL!

You said it best when you described your former fling as "the boy"...When you go out into the dating arena again, you will be looking for a "man"...who will appreciate you for the lovely person you are...You truly deserve better and the cosmos realizing that also, decided to give you a break...Can't wait to read about the next amazing chapter...
Meanwhile, continue to look fab...You never know when cosmos are sending Mr. Right for you who just happens to be a man...

sending hugs your way!

Sorry about what happened to you, Lyn. Although it may not serve as much consolation now, it is better to know sooner than later.
Someone who is good for you will be there when the time is right.
Take care of yourself.

(((Big hugs)))

His loss.

Not Fab enough for you.

Next.

ETA: Rachy too.

Sometimes the 'it's not you, it's me' is actually true. There are so many reasons for a person to break up a relationship that don't have to do with their partner. Maybe he wasn't ready for a relationship, or maybe he is not over a former partner, or maybe he's insecure himself and feels like he doesn't deserve you (yes, really).

Don't beat yourself up over this. If someone really wants to be with you, they will adore every bit of you, including your independence and your amazing job and ambitions. I do agree that some professions are harder to understand and therefore you might need a partner that works in the same field so that he gets it. I can't imagine a rock star or an actor dating an office assistant for that same reason. Would the other one understand the scheduled gigs, the fame, the crazy timings, the traveling? Hopefully they might, but it is rather difficult.

So sorry Lyn. ((hugs))

Ok, Lyn, I am sorry for the hurt that you feel. I am sorry that "the boy" was not man enough to man up and sort out his feelings. I am sorry that at this moment you doubt your wonderful self. Now the empowering thing is that you know now instead of later down the road. You are more than enough and this young man could not see value or your worth as the beautiful spirit that you are then he did not deserve you. Take heart and know that you are enough.

I'm so very sorry to hear this, Lyn.

And sorry for you, rachylou.

Unexpected news that is out of your control is just the hardest thing. I'm so sorry, Lyn. I hope you bounce back quickly. At some point in the future you will look back on this and say, yes it had to be so, because it opened me up to this other possibility. Thinking of you. xxx

Unexpected news that is out of your control is just the hardest thing. I'm so sorry, Lyn. I hope you bounce back quickly. At some point in the future you will look back on this and say, yes it had to be so, because it opened me up to this other possibility. Thinking of you, and Rachylou, and Rachylou's neighbor. xxx

I'm so sorry Lyn! You will find someone that deserves you but it still sucks.

Rachy onward and upward, right?

Big hugs to you Lyn* and to you too Rachylou. xo

What's his name and where does he live? I wanna go bop him on the head cause clearly he's not thinking right! Who's with me? We can make a Lyn's internet mama's mob....imagine the look on his face when he sees us coming!

Ok. Just kidding.....sorta...

((((Lyn))))

Kim -- lol!

Lyn: So sorry you're going through this. I know you were enjoying this relationship, and I pray that something new and improved comes along when you're ready for it. I do want to remind you that you do more than look fab. You have a job that offers assistance to people dealing with stress and illness -- very valuable. May I suggest that you also spend time with a friend or two. With the workload, I notice that many female physicians struggle to keep friendships growing during the intern/residency years. Everyone needs someone to call in the middle of the night, to go out for coffee --- or shopping for something fab!

Oh Lyn, I'm sorry you're in pain. It's definitely his loss!

Oh drat. That is never easy. But hopefully time will heal and the 'right' man will enter your life.

Lyn* I am so sorry, my heart hurts for you. Yes...you always look FAB! Sending big hugs and warm thoughts your way.

Aw, I'm sorry, lyn*. I think you're awesome, smart, hardworking and obviously stylish. There can only be better things on the horizon. Onward and upward!

Lyn you didn't do anything wrong.... Having differences does not mean there is anything wrong with either of you, it simply means the two of you together aren't a good match... So many times people get together and ignore signs of this and end up with disatrous results...

Sorry , cause I know this is painful, just really want you not to question what you could have done differently if it was just a matter of preferences in lifestyles...
