I regret my choices too. But I didn’t know you loved me, or even liked me. I think about you every day, I really cared about you. I know your over it now, but I wish it was different. —Maybe a second chance or a real date someday, maybe not.

What's up with today?!? Is it so frosty out there and are we all so insecure and neurotic that real-connection, that which is initiated on an emotional, or dare I say it 'spiritual' level is rendered impossible?!?

Well, seeing as the one I love is emotionally-retarded, I guess its going to be a long and lonely haul, yet, I guess there's worse things in life... still, it's a bumper.

If you're reading this, Ms. World, with your guitar, I officially GIVE UP. Yes, I'm nuttier than a fruit-cake but, you should SERIOUSLY look at yourself too. All that glitz and glamour has twisted your mind and all your yes-pals won't dare say it.

I would've loved you if you were a librarian or a janitor too.

Now, you're going to grow old, and one day you'll see that I was right... go on, press your company and lover now, and you'll see they fall short.

As Mr. Williams so sang "Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer"

Adios —I'll always love you but, in this life, I can't stand you

To the bus driver that found my wife unconscious by the side of the road having a seizure....Well, what does one say? Thank you from the bottom of my heart?? Thank you for saving my wife?? It doesnt seem like enough. I dont even know your name. But know that there is one husband who is forever in your debt. I think you went above and beyond the call of duty. If you hadnt found her I dont know what would have happened. Im calling your bosses and asking for a big fat raise. You have restored my faith in humanity and the kindness of strangers. —Deeply Grateful husband

I know we’ve never met, and only spoke once ever so briefly on the phone many years ago, but there are a few things I would like to say.

First of all I know you felt the she and I had some kind of secret relationship going on behind your back, but I would like to take this time to quell those anxieties, she was always 100% true and faithful to you she never broke her vow and never once cheated on you.

She is truly a remarkable woman.

Now I would also like to take the opportunity to say thank you for being the type of “man” you are, one who gave of himself so freely over and over again to so many without any thought of your own relationship and the person you were married to.

But most of all I would like to thank you for being self centered and shallow enough to pack up and move away.

I know it sounds funny… me thanking you for leaving… but I have to say that in this truly selfish and cowardly act of yours, you allowed me the opportunity to reconnect with the most amazing woman, someone so kind, and caring, with a so much to offer and asks only the same in return.

I’m not the most religious person but in this instance I am blessed.

I am just humbled that you would choose to pack up and walk away from such a wonderful woman and allow me the opportunity to start building a life with her and share all of our hopes and dreams together we’re looking at a big bright and wonderfully happy future together, we’re not sure where we will end up but it will be happy and together all thanks to you.

I know… I know… I sound like a broken record but I am just dumbfounded how a “man” such as yourself would be so gallant as to run off with another man’s wife, so that I could be happier than I have ever been with a truly remarkable woman your selfishness and self-centredness has paved the way for us to be really and truly happy.

So I’ll end this by again saying thank you for being the “man “ you are and I hope you understand what you’ve lost because I certainly know what I’ve gained.

—Thankful

I was out with some buddies last night on spring garden road and a couple of them were cat calling a few girls as they walked by. I was completely embarrassed. These aren't the meat heads that I think about when I hear women complaining about asshole dudes they encounter in public. In general, these are really decent guys (the other night being an exception). But that night when they had a bit to drink they totally turned into a couple of disgusting morons and I was ashamed to be seen with them. So, I am sorry that you girls had to put up with that and I am sorry that it is something you probably put up with a lot more than we realize as men. I am sorry that you can't always feel safe in this city when you are walking alone at night, especially since every month a new woman seems to go missing and is later found dead. It is terrifying to me and I am not even the target, I cringe to think about what it must feel like for you. You are my equal and in many ways you are much stronger than me. This behaviour is disgraceful and disgusting and it needs to stop yesterday. But this is not a bitch, it is a love. I want to recognize your strength and courage. This message is anonymous so anyone who wants to write a comment about how I am just trying to get laid should think again. I think it's time that we recognize that this type of thing is a problem. I have played devils advocate long enough. I am grateful to know a lot of smart, strong, funny women whom I consider great friends -- and if I saw any of them being treated like this I would be angry. Fella's, next time a woman tells you what it is that they go through, just listen. They aren't looking for your pity, they are just looking for your understanding because they consider you a friend and they want you as an ally. Be one. —Jimminy Cricket

Fuck you both. —This won't last long

I didn't expect to (or want to), but I think I'm moving on. I miss you and your croaky voice but our timing has been tragic. I need to be kind to myself, and that means living in the present. I hope the rest of your trip is really wonderful, and that we can be friends when you're back. —Somewhere in Halifax

You stopped your car on Bayers Road before running over my phone. You called my Mom through emergency contacts and returned my phone to me. (Bless you for getting through a phone call with my Mom.) I didn't even know I lost my phone and you come to the front door like a real-life hero! I feel like I didn't thank you enough! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! —Happy Blonde Girl With an iPhone Still Intact

I was a cyclist in the wrong. I should have yielded! Thanks for telling me in a respectful way and thanks for looking out for our safety! —Thankful and more careful from now on
