Dear janet:

This relationship is so over that it is over even if it is not. Even if you communicate for the next ten years, go back and forth, it is over and has been over for a long time. This is my understanding of it. Put it another way, it is so broken that all you do when you are back together, at best, is glue a couple of pieces together, but the other 158 pieces are still shattered and dispersed and nowhere to be found, so you can’t make a vase out of the couple pieces.

Like I wrote to you recently, you are entertaining, the way you tell an account, humorous enough to make a good relationship very enjoyable, for you and for the man. Only this relationship is past the humor phase.
