@drbollocks I'm proud of you. You didn't deserve that.
Now treat yourself and remember this feeling whenever the doubts start creeping in.
@drbollocks Here's something that sometimes helps me: Ask yourself, if someone else was in your situation, what would you tell them.
Because honestly, from what you're writing, you don't have much of a relationship to lose, and you seem to be clinging onto something that isn't there, if it ever was.
It's okay to break up with people for any reason or no reason at all, if only for your own peace of mind. Don't stay with someone out of fear.
I should mention there's another one in Maine ( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dyke+Mountain/@43.8961194,-70.8336873,67926m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cb2f75ace4b6901:0x3ddfc1b28e7389d1!8m2!3d43.8722966!4d-70.6581146!16s%2Fg%2F1tyywqdn?entry=ttu&g%5C_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxOS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D ) and - in case everything goes south - in Antarctica ( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mount+Dyke/@-67.2355094,43.1115729,953541m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0xb16c78afc0fc3473:0x115c45da78595360!8m2!3d-67.583333!4d49.4166669!16s%2Fm%2F0ds9j9g?entry=ttu&g%5C_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxOS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D )
@bazzzzzzz It's an illustration of everything Christian extremists in the late 90's / early 2000's were afraid of: Tattoos, gangs in school, facial piercings, short hair on girls, short sleeves on girls, teenage sex, drugs and evolution ("my ancestor").

> While dining out one evening at Lord Harcourt's residence at Nuneham in 1848 he was shown a silver locket containing an object resembling pumice stone. He popped the object in his mouth, perhaps to try and find out what mineral it was, and swallowed it. It was in fact part of the mummified heart of Louis XIV of France which had been taken from the royal tomb by a member of the Harcourt family.
@drbollocks That's just how the brain works sometimes. I get horny for an ex on occasion, and then I remember why she's an ex.
@trugrog That's where I got it from!
