Most of you know I am a very private person. I have thought long and hard about this post, but since the information has already been put “out there,” I feel the need to share the rest of the story as well.
By mutual consent, Se7en and I have ended our relationship. I am not going into specifics but I will say this much… we are very close and yes we still talk. Se7 is incredibly dear to me – we have shared many wonderful times, and I wish him only good things, now and forever. He will always have a special place in my heart.
I appreciate your respecting our privacy during this difficult time.
It was a GREAT ride Baby.
All good things have to come to an end.
It’s like surfing–you rode the wave, and it was a good wave, but now it’s over.
How sad this is! My heart goes out to you.
And there’s no doubt that you’re a class-act and more, beautiful Lisa.
Lisa, I’m sorry you’ve ended things but it says a lot about both of you that you’ve decided to handle it as adults and remain friends.
(This is way too solemn for me, Lisa. Do you mind if I say the word fart to offset the solemnity?)
This is the most mature post I’ve seen from a lot of people ‘ending relationships’ in awhile.
Like one person said to me when I ended an engagement (she didn’t even know us…) She said, “Oh. It’s probably for the best.” Still hard, but I’m proud of the way you’re ‘publicly’ handling it.
OH, and my offer still stands
Well…I guess I know now…but it really isn’t any of our business. It is nice to see that you still remain friends though.
FYI, when I said that the information had already been put “out there,” what I meant was that Se7en and I had already discussed how our relationship evolved in our respective archives.
Wow, no dramatics here. Annoyingly adult, actually
Good for you.
I truly respect the way both of you are handling this very difficult decision. Take care of you.
~sniffle…whimper~
So sorry, both of you
I try to look at it this way when a good thing ends, at least you got to meet, spend time together and both be very happy and no matter what, no one can ever take that away from you. Somethings just weren’t meant to be, but at least you got to have the experience and hey, you’ve probably got a lifelong friend that you can turn to at any time. I know none of these things take away the hurt, but when you’re feeling better, at least you have things that you can look back on and smile.
Much love.
I’m impressed you can end it this way. I can’t imagine being more than courteous to my ex wife. I applaud you both.
oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. I wish you both the best!
Lisa- I came to visit you and know about you through Seven and I must say you are a class act. I had hoped you would be the one but things do not always work out as we would like. It is so nice to see the very mature way you two are handling this and that you will have a friendship that remains intact. Thank you for being such a special lady.
It is possible to stay friends after a break-up – at least for a time – and I wish that for you guys.
Sorry to hear.
I’m happy that you remain friendly! Good for you both!
SMiles, Lisa.
Thank you everyone for your loving thoughts and good wishes. It means more to me than I can ever say.
I’m really sorry to hear that. But I’m glad to hear that you remain close.
You know what Lisa, you and Se7en are like the most mature adults I know. I mean, I know you both probably didnt want to talk about your break-up and have it on your blog, for fear of having it as a constant reminder, but…seriously, I applaud both of you for having the guts and the maturity to handle this situation with dignity. It says a lot about who you are as a person, and really…it is something to aspire to. And I hope that it all works out for you and Se7en.
Sounds like a good way to end…..bitterness and stress is no good for the soul.
Does this mean you’re available now?
It’s so cool that you and Se7 are still friends. That doesn’t happen too often….
“I appreciate your respecting our privacy during this difficult time.”
did you steal that line from Jessica Simpson?
Sorry I had to say something funny, this is way too serious. Hope all goes well for both of you…
We humans like everything to work out perfectly 100% of the time. “Happily Ever After”. Guess what. Shit happens. And then you die.
But here’s to hoping for the perfect ending, every time! Cheers!
Lisa B: I don’t know you but you are clearly a fascinating girl with a very bright future ahead of her. It’s impossible to predict what awaits each of us. We often have a positive effect on people we’ve never met just by something we’ve mentioned in passing in a BLOG. I know you’ve touched someone that way and I’m confident the lucky guy you spent time with must count himself lucky too! Hang in and keep the faith! HUGS!
*HUG* At times like these, I can only quote Def Leppard: Love bites.
We’re here if you need us.
Like I said on Seven’s blog, I think it’s great you remain friends. Therefore, I can’t be sad for you; a strong friendship that weathers the turbulence of passion is a beautiful thing, indeed. Hugs to you both.
Glad you both have left off on good terms.
Hang in there!
I really wanted this to work, but I’m glad you still care about each other. Also, happy (near) bloggiversary!
Well, that’s very nice how you said that.
