    Unlike Cary, I HATE long letters...

    Who has time to listen to your whimpering? I for one don't. I have a real job...and a life...and neither permits my spending the amount of time it would take to carefully read all of this...whimpering. Espcecially when all any of us readers wants to do, really, is to fire off some quick, witty, terribly appropriate and insightful response.

    So here it is... when you spend lots of time pining for your "ex" and your current boyfriend subsequently walks out the door, what you have actually is TWO ex-es, not just one. That's 2 relationships you've messed up because of your...well...whimpering. Stop writing long letters to advice columnists, stop wringing your hands about your boyfriends, and start paying real attention to at least one boyfriend, or you will surely end up boyfriend-less.
