bummed

my neighbors broke up over the weekend.

they weren't married, but they had been together for something like 5 years.
suddenly, on saturday morning a moving truck was outside their house and all of the furniture was being taken away.

she had waited until he had gone to work so she could sneak out.

we had just hung out with him thursday night and he was talking about them buying a house together in the future, and going to a concert in a month.

i see this from both sides. i think it was mean to move out without talking to the other person about it, but i can understand the need to get it done without second guessing yourself when you see how bad you are hurting him.

a few years ago i was contemplating leaving my husband, and i decided that the only way i could do it is if he wasn't home when i left. i wanted it to be a smack-in-the-face wake up call that he needed to change.

but it would SUCK to find out that your girlfriend is leaving you only when the neighbors start texting you and asking if you are moving!

now he is alone in a completely empty house, with only 2 of the 4 dogs. so sad! we gave him an extra chair we had, but it looked so lonely in the empty living room.

they are both really nice, and i'm going to miss talking to them in the driveway. i find myself hoping that they will make up. however, i do not know the details of their relationship, or why she felt like she needed to leave. mostly i just hope it is for the best, and that he will take us up on our offer to come to church with us.
