Well, there has been a big change in my life and I've been putting off writing about it here until I can contact and inform as many of my friends and family as possible. But, it is time.
Chris and I have officially called it quits over the Labor Day weekend. We broke up as of August 30th to be exact. I know this may come as quite a shock to many of you. Chris and I just realized that our relationship was like that of best friends rather than as lovers. So we both decided to end it and be friends. An incredible bond between Chris and I has formed over the past 5 years and so we have decided to explore our friendship. He is truly my best friend and always has been. The breakup was very amicable and there was no yelling or anger. Yes, of course, there is still pain, but the saving grace is that it isn't good-bye. We still live together, although we now have separate rooms. Chris is and always will be the greatest man in my life. He now has the potential to be even greater than he possibly could've been as my husband. The transition is tough, but with the support of friends and each other, Chris and I should make it through. Note to any future boyfriends for either of us: You have some huge shoes to fill and believe me, you will be screened.
All in all, I'm doing fine. With each passing day things get easier to handle. I want to thank all of you who have given emotional support to both Chris and I during this time. All your love, energy, and prayers are greatly appreciated and vastly beneficial. Talk to y'all soon.
