what do you do when you (hypothetically) find go to a bar on friday night and see your ex and a bunch of familiar faces and have a great time. and then you (hypothetically) find out from a few people that your ex is (hypothetically) sleeping with his production assistant? i mean, hypothetically. especially when you remember a conversation about not getting involved with other people we know. and your ex (hypothetically) has taken many trips with this girl over the last few months for work. oh, and you and your ex (hypothetically) slept together after the company holiday party and MANY of his friends (hypothetically) told you that he still loved you. and although you didn't think a reconciliation was in the works, you thought you were in a good place, hypothetically.

hypothetically speaking, you confront the ex. you (hypothetically) get into a way too long conversation and people start looking at you. you (hypothetically) realize that it's way too late to do this right now in front of a bunch of people. your ex (hypothetically) comes over to your apartment later that night (or is it early that morning?) and you talk til 7am with nothing resolved and go to bed.

you then (hypothetically) talk about it once more the next day. grab a bite to eat. then (hypothetically) talk about it again before parting ways. you (hypothetically) realize that it's just not gonna work out anymore. you (hypothetically) can't be friends anymore. it's (hypothetically) not good for either one of you. you both need to move on (hypothetically). it's been two years (hypothetically). especially since over the last two years, although you and the ex have dated, nothing serious has developed relationship-wise. and your ex (hypothetically) tells you that you that he can picture the two of you married with kids. yeah. you both would (hypothetically) cry and you'd be pretty torn up.

so you (hypothetically) terminate the friendship. not out of spite, but it might be the healthiest thing you have decided on in the last two years. you then realize that besides the moments you'll see each other at a mutual friend's event and say a polite hello, that you could've just had the last conversation you'll have together. you (hypothetically) feel like even though you've been broken up for two years, it feels like you break up every six months. this is a good thing. it's a good decision. hypothetically speaking of course.
