  - too old for anyone really. 33? how do her joints even still work for the sexing? -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:40 6
    - The letter sez that she's 31, but still - who'd want to tap something that ancient? -- nm - Deevil Oct 27, 12:43 5

        Altho' once a chick gets that old and her teeth start falling out and everything - Deevil Oct 27, 12:47 2

- He shouldn't walk away completely, he should think of her as a friend and provide some support. He should make it clear that he can't be her main - mara Oct 27, 12:37 3
  - "How are you feeling today? Oh, that bad? Sorry. You should see the chick I jammed in a bathroom at the club we used to go to..." -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:48
  - [deleted] 1
    - and then it's up to her whether or not she still wants him around after he explains himself. - znufrii Oct 27, 12:47
- Ouch. She definitely deserves an explanation. -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 12:36 15
  - after eight weeks, when the explanation is "your cancer is going to be way too hard on me"? meh. just go. - TFox Oct 27, 12:39 14
    - the reason he's leaving is dickish enough, without compounding it by not being honest with her about it. - znufrii Oct 27, 12:42 10
      - Yeah, that will make her feel *much* better about having cancer. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:44 6
        
        at least she'll know, rather than wondering if that was the reason. - znufrii Oct 27, 12:46 5
        
        The only time certainty is better than doubt is when you were wrong. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:50
        
        she won't care about the reason, once she realizes how glad she is to not be dating him anymore. eight weeks. wtfever. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:48 3
        
        It doesn't say they've been dating for 8 weeks. It says it took him 6-8 weeks to realize she wasn't the one. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 12:50 2
        
        Yep - and they met over summer, so it's 4 months at the most. "You need to be supported by people you've known your whole life, I can't be there for - Roger More Oct 27, 12:54
        
        you're right. it still doesn't sound like a year or anything like that. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:52
      - meh. might even be easier on her if he goes full dick, and really embraces his new role as the asshole ex, rather than trying to squirm. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:44 2
        
        easier, maybe. better? meh... -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 12:44 1
        
        the explanation is about making *him* feel better, knowing she understands that it isn't his fault. - TFox Oct 27, 12:47
    - [deleted] 1
      - this so reminds me of the beginning of this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. (spoils) - TFox Oct 27, 12:42
    - Your cancer and treatment is going to kill the sex. Sorry doll. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:40
- Just go. Once you know you need to go, go. There is no such thing as making it better by pretending it's ok. Bounce. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:36 12
  - But see, he needs someone to tell him to do it so he will not blame himself. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:37 3
    - which is bull and he's a total puss, i agree. but given that, he needs to go. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:38 2
      - I 100% agree he has to go. He just needs to man-up about it, though. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:39 1
        
        this is the correct answer and it's way obvious -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 27, 12:43
  - Especially considering he knew he had to go before the cancer anyway. -- nm - Jim Oct 27, 12:37 7
    - He has to remove that from the equation. He stayed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:38 6
      - for a week. this is not like a year deep. everyone accidentally dates some people a week or two too long. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:40 5
        
        Where do you get the "for a week" part? -- nm - mara Oct 27, 12:50
        
        Nope. "I was going to leave you, but didn't." is a wuss response. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:42 3
        
        we're not saying different things, i don't think. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:42 2
        
        We aren't, but argue too well to stop for that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:46 1
        
        L3! -- nm - Trick or Pippy Oct 27, 12:49
- That's a tough one. But if you can't do it, you can't do it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 27, 12:36 1
  - Yup. -- nm - Jim Oct 27, 12:36
- "I would be a lousy support person for her." so instead I will dump her ass, leaving her alone. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:36

Let's put it this way: Lebron has enough pieces around him right now for Lebron to win a title, if Lebron makes it happen. Fact. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:28 2
- I'm not sure they can handle the Lakers or the Spurs. -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 12:39
- I agree, shaq wont win him a title, but shaq will make it a bit easier for lebron to win the title. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 12:29

      - This seems like the easiest way to push Kurt Angle out. -- nm - David Oct 27, 12:29 2
        
        Man I don't know....I can see all kinds of possibilites IF they all played nice together (yeah right) and Russo is still head of creative. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 12:30 1
