Hi Anna,

It stings because he was the one to feel lukewarm first.

This is what will (eventually) happen: As the months/seasons go by, you will see him or see pictures of him, and you will realize that he’s not that great. THAT you will resent. You will be embarrassed at yourself. There will be an element of “HE dumped ME?  Is he nuts?”

On the flip side, this summer, he SHOULD see you. Once. You will be in a (new) sun dress with shades, laughing. A cute date by your side will be even better. And then, and then… he won’t see you again for the rest of the summer. One time in late July your mutual friends will gladly tell him you will be there soon, soon, don’t worry, old boyfriend….. but no, sorry, you and Andre forgot you have the hiking group/concert/Burning Man/wedding. Maybe Labor Day??

Anyway, that’s what will happen.

His loss, which he WILL feel keenly, I promise.

Inky
