So yeah. Found out today that an old friend passed away Sunday. Put me in a fine mood. Cracked open a beer, in honor of recent events. It tastes like shit.

I'm sorry for your loss, Amy.



Tomorrow is my 6th wedding anniversary. We made plans to go out since the little spawnlings are all well for once and the baby has started sleeping better at night. Yay we're adults! The babysitter just backed out tonight. :thumbsup:

Seriously, guys, thanks. This beer needs all of that it can get.

(And George would have wanted me to use that joke. Why do all the angels die first leaving only assholes behind?)

Sucks, Your Majesty.

You're probably gonna de-nut for this, Amy, but...

*warm, fuzzy, comforting teddybear hug*

I'm sorry for your friend's passing. Remember the good times, the laughs and happy moments, and he'll always be with you.

Oh, Jesus. 2 am emails are the worst idea in the world, especially if you've just drugged yourself up on doctor's orders. Ohshitohshitohshit. What the fuck is my problem?! Sweet Jesus that was stupid. Was I expecting her to react favorably to what is essentially "I want to get together and talk, because I know you're making a mistake and I think you know it too."

Fuck!

I woke up to a reply in my inbox which was neither amused nor convinced.

JESUS, I'm so stupid. I knew I should have locked my computer away last night.

WTF! We have no luck with baby sitters at all. Now the fucking sitter hurt her foot and can't drive! I wrote 900+ words of a 1400 word assignment this morning just so I'd be done by my deadline and not have to worry about it. Then I could relax and enjoy myself tonight while we celebrated our anniversary. I swear I am not allowed to go out on a date with my own husband! ARGH!!

Don't pinch him. Hit him with a car, and leave him with broken legs in the arizona desert. I mean, being queen is all about orders of magnitude, right?

Send her a message back letting her know you sent a drug-induced email at 2 am. Tell her you remember sending it but until the reread in her reply you hadn't realized how bad it was. Tell her you are sorry and that you are embarrassed to have done it. Let her know that while you may feel that you are still good together the manner in which you communicated and the words you used were not exactly produced in a lucid state of mind.

Right now all you are about is damage control.

Honestly, from a woman's standpoint, he needs to let it go. Another message is one more message too many regardless of what it says.

Normally I would agree with you. But in this case he may owe her an apology depending on what he said. This message is that apology and explanation.

Yeah, there's no salvaging this one. To make sure it doesn't happen again, though, he'd be well served to delete her email and phone number from his contacts.

Rob, it's over. Let it go. It's a lot easier to move on when she hasn't filed a restratining order against you yet.

To me, it seems like a desperate attempt to start communicating with her again. Since she was neither "amused or convinced" he needs to leave her alone.

i'd just back off, yeah... I've actually done pretty much exactly the same... drunken e-mail to the then-recent ex. It didn't end up well, so I tried to apologize later and it just made it worse.

We're not on speaking terms now.

I second Wasabi on this one. I think an apology is a very nice idea, but it won't make things better. I've done something similar when all drugged up, Rob, and it's not a good feeling. Sorry. :(
