Absolute disaster.
I’ve been away from this blog for just a day, but already I have so much to say. Where to begin…? Well, Romeo asked me out to dinner this morning. I was absolutely ecstatic to see that he was finally starting to really get serious about returning home, and of course, the idea of dinner with my loved one was exciting! In Verona, there was never much opportunity for us to spend time together in the normal stages of courtship–everything had to be so quiet and secretive. So, how relieved was I to have Romeo ask for my company tonight! Especially since you all have been telling me that I needed to talk to him, it was absolutely perfect.
When we got to dinner tonight, it started off very well. It had been quite some time since we had the opportunity to speak to each other, since it’s now a rarity for me to see Romeo daily. I decided to take your advice and confront him about his constant shirking of our responsibility to return home. I approached it in a gentle manner, and asked him honestly if he still wished to return to Verona.
And instead of answering my question, he accused me of nagging him. I couldn’t believe it! Nagging him? I must admit that I do not have the best control over my temper, but even now the implication boils my blood! What could possibly be more important right now than returning home? What could possibly be occupying his mind right now that is more important than getting us back to where we belong, where we can finally be together and wed?
I wound up leaving the dinner before our entrees even arrived. When I returned to the sorority, some of the sisters comforted me and we watched a very sad movie together, called The Notebook. It made me feel even worse.
I’ve been reading some of the comments on here lately, and I must say, I am very confused about what to think. All I will say right now is that, regardless of how he behaved today, I am, of course, still deeply in love with Romeo. After all, without Romeo, what am I even doing here? All of my efforts would just be a waste of time. I just want us to return, away from all of these distractions, so we can be together as we once were.
I must apologize, Juliet. I fear that this is all my fault. You see, Romeo temporarily blocked you from his blog for this reason: He wished to ask our advice on how to heal your relationship. He thought you were becoming angry with him and didn’t understand why you were constantly talking about Verona when he did not think it mattered as much as the fact that you were both here, together, unharmed, and free.
I gave him the best advice I could give, and was the one to suggest his talk with you via a date. However, I made a rather poor choice of words when I spoke of him perceiving your behavior as somewhat “nagging”. I continued to explain why it was not, but I fear he did not fully understand the meaning of the word and used it in a description. Currently, he is, I am afraid, just as depressed as you and doesn’t know what to do.
This is all my fault, and I take full responsibility. I do not know if you could forgive my actions, but it hardly matters as long as you forgive Romeo’s accidental slight.
I will tell him the same thing, but implore you to go and speak with him once more, and allow each other to speak their thoughts and explain their actions.
Sincerely Regretful,
Sicon
Wait just a moment–you say he blocked me? That is just…my apologies, but I don’t think I can believe you right now. Romeo would never do that to me. And, so many people are saying so many different things…regardless, if Romeo is truly sorry why is he not apologizing to me himself? Why is he using you, someone he has never even met properly, as his proxy? Why wouldn’t he turn to me, his love, and express these concerns?
Godspeed,
Juliet
He did not ask me to do so. I merely realized my part in the situation and said this on my own. I am apologizing for my part in this chaos, not on his behalf.
Love is tough, isn’t it? It doesn’t get much easier. But it is so worth it.
We know your love for Romeo is true. We believe the same in his love towards you. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be problems. But it does mean that you both have the ability to overcome these problems. We can’t excuse what Romeo said, but we do know that his intentions were pure.
You ask what could be more important than returning to Verona. I realize I’m always the one saying this is the most important thing, but now I ask, what if it isn’t? What if, after all of our research, we find out that there is no way we can return you both to Verona? We can send you back, but not with Romeo. Or we can send Romeo, but you’d have to stay here. Would you do it? Is returning to Verona more important than staying with Romeo? Would you be willing to trade returning to Verona if it meant staying with Romeo forever?
I’m not saying that’s the case. But what if? Is returning to Verona still going to be as important? Romeo misspoke. There is no excusing that. But the only reason he did so was because he was tired of hearing you talk only of Verona. He did not want to speak of Verona. He wanted to speak of you. He wanted to learn more about you. You are the love of his life, not Verona. But you shouldn’t be hearing this from me. You should be hearing this from Romeo. Give him another chance.
Of course, I am not choosing Verona over Romeo–yes, it is my home and the only land I really know and I love it dearly, but nothing could trump my love for Romeo. It is my love for him that is precisely the reason I must return. This world is changing him, and we must return home, together, so that things can return to how they once were. My desire to return home is bred purely out of my love for him–although, I must admit, part of the reason is that I cannot shake the feeling that I just do not belong here. I am unsure of whether Romeo has felt the same way at all, but for me, being here feels terribly, terribly wrong.
Godspeed,
Juliet
Yeah I’ve seen ‘The Notebook’. It’s a nice romantic movie, but not at all like real life. It gets messy out here, y’know. We think we have control of a situation and everybody is on the same page, then suddenly BLAM things get outta hand, people storm off. Listen my point is Romeo knows he’s in the dog house so please take it easy on the poor guy. Men are gonna make bone headed mistakes and sometimes we need a good woman around to pick us up when we fall flat on our face. Please be that woman for Romeo. Lift him up and offer him support… but not before first making him grovel & beg just a little. #ikeed!
Mam, if I may interject. Such a lady as yourself should realize at this point that Romeo has as much a tie to this realm as he has a tie with you. In my firmly honest opinion, you should attempt to make Romeo remember what made Verona such a nice place. Convincing him that Verona is much better than here would very much help you achieve your progress. Instead of confronting him about going back. Give him a reason to go back. Remind him what he has left behind and it will catch up to him.
You must beat The Modern Succubus in order to reclaim what you have lost.
Take This As You Will…

Well done.

Now I… I guess I’ll need some popcorn?
Did You Know That:D
Romeo Is Not Entirely Truthful To You?
Ask Him About Vanessa:D

Let me be entirely straightforward with you, Jules.
The next period of your life is going to be incredibly difficult. You are going to have a lot of doubts, both about yourself and about Romeo. You are going to be in a lot of emotional pain. You will be tempted to leave Romeo, whether for Verona or something else I do not know. But remember the lyrics to that song Romeo showed you:
“We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days/through the fire and the flames we carry on!”
Whatever happens, you must. carry. on.
Encouragingly, Wysp
