“I mean, I’m STILL moving stuff out of your place. Who the fuck are you engaged to? One of my movers??? OH sweet Jesus. I feel like I’ve been hit by the irony truck, backed over and flattened again. If you need me I’ll be spending half the time we were together trying to get over you. Enjoy getting married, and by that I mean, fuck everything.”

DEALBREAKER.

Reblogging this to ask, is this whole “spending half the time we were together trying to get over you” concept a thing? By which I mean, is it kind of a big deal? Do people know it?

I’m generally interested in popularly shared guidelines like this (don’t call after nine pm! or seven?), and I don’t know where this came from but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard it.

This is a Sex and the City rule, or at least it makes a prominent appearance in the first season. I always thought it was bullshit, until I suddenly felt WAY BETTER about 7 months after the breakup of a 14 month relationship, and I was like, um, ok, maybe you people have a point.
