Commenting super late, but I just stumbled on this thread. Whatever size you get, you’ll probably need to get the waist taken in. Those skirts are basically tubes and suffer from wicked bad “skirt spin.”

Replying to 1:59 pm comment by Latina (it won’t let me reply directly for some reason):

Yea, if I lived with ex post-breakup it would be a bad situation. either 1) we hook up and then have to re-break up, or 2) he refuses to hook up and that would break my heart all over again, having to deal with that distance in close proximity. At least I’m many miles away from him, so I can have space to breathe.

But I am terrified of the thought of him dating again. It doesn’t help that right before we broke up, his new coworker who he has been hanging out with a lot in small groups (whom I haven’t met) ended her engagement with her fiance. And of course I stalked her in linked in and damn it, she is really pretty. and they work in a super small office. So my mind is running wild with thoughts of them starting a relationship, getting married, and living happily ever after. Yikes. I am definitely nowhere near ready to begin dating. I just hope that at some point I will get past this anger/devastation and accompanying feelings of insecurity.

And nope, not in PA (IL here).

I’m not going to say that I didn’t make a fool of myself LOL. There were times that we hooked up in those 3 months. The breakup just happens all over again .. I do not suggest it, very painful. I stalked him on facebook and asked people about what he was doing. I would peek out of the blinds to see who he was going out with. I was pathetic. I didn’t like who I was becoming and once he moved out it was easier.

I was in the same position as you. I moved my current city with him for Grad school. He ended up leaving school during the first semester for a job here. I don’t have any real friends here. I honestly just started hanging out with random people (girl who cuts my hair, girl down the hall, etc). It got lonely after 2 months so I decided to just start making friends and invite them for coffee, drinks, spinning class, etc. I still cannot be at the same place as him. I start wondering “who are those people he’s with? how come he made friends so quickly? what do they have that I don’t?, etc”.

I have not dated anyone yet. I just don’t think I am ready. I don’t want to screw up my next relationship with anger from my last. I know that sounds so bad. I am still working on myself.

By any chance are you in PA?

Okay, this is probably much too late for you to see this but… I could totally have written this. So while it sucks…at least it’s normal?

I can’t stand most air fresheners, particularly the aerosols; they make me gag. This smells fresh and slightly citrusy.

Lady, I am right there with you about it not seeming real yet. We sometimes went almost 2 months without seeing each other, and I just saw him over Thanksgiving (although tomorrow will probably be tough since I was supposed to fly out for his company holiday party–I even bought a fancy dress and everything, blah). It is weird not having that phone call or those random texts throughout the day, but I do wonder if it’s going to take me longer to truly process the idea that I won’t be seeing him anytime in the near future.
