So I have failed to mention something going on, here, because I know Ian has been nigh-obsessively reading this site lately (yes, you, Ian). Nonetheless, the time has come to mention it.

Three days ago, Ian sent me an email asking me to go to breakfast with him. I was initially unsure how I felt about the idea, and decided upom soliciting a lot of advice from friends, to ask Ian why he wanted to go to a meal together.

I decided to do a little investigating the next day. From a couple mutual friends, I found out that apparently, Ian was just starting to realize emotionally that we were broken up (I'd like to point out that this message only seems to sink in when he realizes that I am not wasting my life waiting for him, aka when I start sleeping with someone new).

I finally got ahold of Ian yesterday in the dining hall. And we proceeded to get into a disagreement over what would be fair conversatio fodder during a meal, as I feel that my replacement is a perfectly fair thing to talk about, and Ian feels that if we talk about her, we should talk about Max, despite the fact that Max has nothing to do with Ian's and my breakup, yet my replacement obviously does.

He lost his temper a bit with me and I said a meal was not a good idea and walked away.

Then he felt, because having the last word is, oh, so important, that another email was necessary, telling me he hoped that some day, when we were done trying to make each other the bad guy, we could talk and he could get answers to questions that only he and I can talk about.
I am disinclined to ever talk about it. I don't have any answers that I need, and I have come to terms emotionally with the fact that we are broken up. It seems to me that if it's a big enough deal to talk about, he should be willing to conceed that my replacement will never not be part of the conversation. Then again, like I said, I won't mind at all if we never talk about it.
