Dana & I just parted ways in the most mutual & perfect breakup I have ever seen; agreed we make better roomies and best friends than lovers. To say it doesnt hurt is a lie. I am so happy for the both of us, but it still hurts a lot. We love each other and nothing will change that. For now, living arrangements will go on as normal, until after the holidays, at the least. We are going to be there for each other in this. Also, her family sounds like they completely understood and still expect me to be there for all of the holidays like family.

Please, everyone, there is no reason to find any of this awkward and we will each smack any of you that do! :-)

*edit* Just so those of you know, that don't, we were finally able to be open about our issues, and resolved them, and decided to get back together middle of January.  So... ignore this, mayhaps? :)
