On Really Good Books About Real People: Part One
I am a big fan of historical biographies about royal women: Antonia Fraser's Marie Antoinette & Amanda Foreman's Georgiana are the obvious ones but also anything by Alison Weir (like Eleanor of Aquitaine) and Nancy Goldstone's Four Queens.

@Inkcrafter thank you so much, that is good advice. And my friend just recommended breaking bad as my television therapy. I'm on my way home now to fire up the netflix as I pack up his stuff!

@mackymoo I had to put my kitty to sleep in February. She was 14 & I had her since she was 2 months. I still miss her everyday. My thoughts are with you. X

@Slutface Thanks all for the hugs.
Last night I was just angry & relieved after I kicked him out of my house (he actually came over knowing he didn't want me to go to Seattle with him but still expecting to spend the night with me & get his usual love & comfort from me) but today I'm sad & need the hugs.

Oh thank god for the open thread! I've been needing this...
My boyfriend of 6 years & I broke up last night & I need to vent.
We live in LA & he got a job in Seattle & I thought we were going together.... and now we are not. The lovely Seattle 'pinners were even helping me out with moving advice already. Sigh.
The gist is he is an asshole & I've been making excuses for his behavior for so long that I now realize that I was justifying and condoning his behavior by staying with him.
He admitted in our fights this week that he is "extremely selfish" and that he didn't see a problem with that. He is also extremely immature - to the point where he happily admits he wishes he could be a teenager again when he had no responsibilities. And on top of those lovely traits, he was cheating on me for the past 2 years with 2 different women. I figured it out little by little & when I called him on it he would flat out lie to me. Just completely deny it.
I know this is the best possible thing for me, a complete break where we are in separate cities but right now I miss the old him. The first 2 years of our relationship were magical and I guess I kept hoping that guy was still in there & would come back.
Ugh. I HATE this.

On Face Moles, "Perfection," and Shifting Dynamics
@RocketSurgeon my doctor sent my mole to be tested as well so it would be covered by insurance. That's the way to go.
And mine was right on my bikini line & I was super sensitive about it but my BF had no issues with it. As a matter of fact, when I had it removed, he said it was weird at first without it down there & it didn't feel like me! Hahaha.

On Breaking Up Is Hard to Do With Dignity
@teenie We need stripes! Mine would currently be a combo of red, magenta, etc. Or maybe color blocking?
