Take it from me – breaking up is hard to do. I have done it so many times in my life that I could teach a class on breaking up. My most recent break up was with Sandy, and I have to say that although ending a relationship is never easy – she was a lady the whole way though.

From the day our relationship was officially over to the day she found out about Christine, Sandy has been nothing but understanding, friendly – and full of class and grace. A far cry from the breakups I endured in the past. In my past, there were a few times when the words “good-bye” were followed with anger, fighting and plenty of yelling. But this time – Sandy made it very easy and always kept her head high – I just wish I could say the same for me.

Despite the fact that I was the break“er” and she was the break“ee” – I was the one that harbored anger after we broke up for a number of silly reasons. Worse then that – I didn’t keep my feelings to myself – instead – I made them very well known.

During this period after our breakup, even though I was not the nicest person to deal with – she remained her graceful self. Eventually, I came to my senses and we became friendly again, and we still are – but now the point has arrived when the feelings we once had for each other are now directed toward others.

I will confess that talking to her about “other people”, if you will, is an uncomfortable subject for me. Having spent two years with Sandy – I really don’t want to know what, if anything, she is doing now that we are apart. She, on the other hand, doesn’t mind hearing about my life after her and is even willing to meet Christine – what a lady.

I am really happy that Sandy has maintained a much higher level of grace and dignity throughout our painful breakup then I did. And even now as we both move on with our personal lives – she still exhibits the same traits that made me love her in the first place.

Thanks Sandy.
