You all don't know how much this is helping me realize I'm not alone. My live-in boyfriend, who I've known for 15+ years and dated for 7, just decided to break up with me and we're still in the same house. Guess who has to move? The sad thing is we still love each other but he's not willing to work through our stuff anymore. I lost my mom last year and he's been my family and my safe place and now
that's gone. I can handle a breakup but this feels like a divorce! My birthday is in a couple of weeks and he wants to spend it with me and says he bought my gift already and although there's no one else I'd like to be with, it kills me that I know my gift won't be a ring and that he's just in our old friendship mode. While we're both hurt, I feel the brunt of it because my whole life is turning upside down again. I hope I can find some solace in pretty things like makeup because that usually helps. Unfortunately, apartments in this city don't come cheap and I wasn't planning on this. Hell, I'm replacing my "on it's last legs" computer AND my broken-down car next weekend, which are huge expenses in themselves. Now, my housing costs will likely increase by $500-700 on top on the new car note and storage fees for the stuff that won't fit into a 1 BR apt (leaving a 3BR with a basement and garage). I'm likely gonna have to go back to working 2 jobs again to just manage a transition that I don't want. I hope we all make it through our rough times. Miracles do happen so maybe we'll get our share. Thanks for the space to vent.
I guess I should treat myself to a small something just in case it becomes a strain on my budget in the near future. I'll check for the Indulge stuff in store Thursday and snag the red lipstick and a shadow. Maybe Sex and the Oyster...for the name alone.
