What's in a Name?

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

NEED ADVICE A.S.A.P.

I CANNOT BELIEVE HIM! That lying, two-faced…ugh. Maybe I should start
at the beginning.

So, today, I was having issues with my computer. Apparently, these devices
respond poorly to water, because when I tried to wash it today it made a strange
buzzing sound and wouldn’t turn back on. Luckily, one of the sorority sisters, Rachel, offered her computer to me, and I was able to access my blog from there.

Anyway, some of your comments lately have seemed rather strange to me. Some of you were mentioning talking to Romeo, one of you thought that he blocked me, and people are mentioning someone named Vanessa? I was starting to become suspicious. So, I tried checking on Rachel’s computer, just to see…

AND THAT MILK-LIVERED CODPIECE BLOCKED ME.

Not only that but…well, I don’t even think I can talk about what his post said. I
need advice, and I’m afraid you all are the only ones I can turn to—the sorority
sisters all despise him, so they’re biased. Should I confront him? What should I do? In other words: HELP!!

    Hey, I am so sorry that you found out this way. A real man would have talked with you before ever doing something like this. My recommendation is to let him go. As hard as that may be, he’s clearly not invested in the relationship as much as you are, and you deserve better. You’re young. There are plenty of men out there that would be lucky to be with you.

      Thank you so much, my friend, for your kind words. It is true that I’m young, but I really thought I found true love with Romeo. I mean, I still do…I don’t know, I am just very confused right now. I’m incredibly angry with him–but mostly just hurt. I really cared about him a lot, and I still do…and I cannot just ignore my feelings. I am very confused right now. I know what you say is true, but part of me still hopes that it will work out somehow. But perhaps I’m being naive.

      Godspeed,
      Juliet

    I think your sisters’ bias is right in this case. What he has done is inexcusable, and we’ve all told him the same.

    At this point in time, just try to forget Romeo. He’s not worth the aggravation. It’s going to hurt, but you might just have to accept that Romeo’s gone. His heart now belongs to someone else. Take some time to heal and cry and then move on.

    People are flawed by nature, Juliet, Romeo is no exception. You two had only known each other for a very short time (as you told me yourself), and this event that brought you here has taken it’s toll on both of your minds and caused his priorities to change. Perhaps it’s time to realize that he wasn’t the man on a high pedestal that you saw him as, but a human with temptations as any other, like you or me.

    If you and he can understand that, and understand the circumstances of you two being in our world, then maybe some time in the future things can be mended between you. In the mean time, I would suggest just trying to adjust…at least until we can find some way to get you home.

  • Krika says:

    I’m with everybody else here. If he isn’t going to try and stay with you, and make a legitimate effort to try and resolve your differences, he’s not worth the bother. People who are your true friends/lovers won’t abandon you for someone else after a single argument. It might cause a cold spot in your relationship, but they wouldn’t end it this fast, this decisively and this hard. It’ll hurt, but it’ll be much better than trying to stay with him.

  • Zup says:

    To add to my comment above, the best thing to do in a break up is to break it off definitively. Let him know in no uncertain terms that the two of you are through, and then block all communication. Don’t give in and talk to him, because that will just make it harder.

  • Goldude says:

    Well, your best bet is to ask someone to take apart your computer to let it air out. Electronics and water don’t exactly mix, and it can even completely break things or kill people if handled wrongly. If you want to clean your computer, then take a nice, fluffy towel and lightly wipe it on the computer. If you want to clear the screen(The part with words and pictures), then you turn it off, get a paper towel and window cleaner, spray 2 sirts on the screen, then wipe the paper towel over the screen until it’s dry.

  • agoraoptera says:

    Juliet, first off, ask yourself this. Do you still love him? Do you want a reconciliation with him? If you do, then you should probably email him about it or confront him in person. He is definitely in the wrong for making such a post considering that both of you are already in a relationship. The only thing that can heal your relationship now is mutual understanding. Adell is probably right in saying that the short time you two have known each other is a major reason.
    Whatever happens, stay strong. We’re with you.

    Juliet, I’m very sorry about what happened. Romeo made a really bad move. However, you’re not entirely innocent yourself. You’ve not listened to his opinion, and overall not treating your relationship as an equal partnership. He wants to talk to you and be with you, but you force the conversation into what you want. Try to make things work. I wish you luck.

    -Roy

    P.S. Yeah, keep liquids away from the computer. They don’t mix very well at all.

    • Roy Hankins/Har D Har Koopa says:

      I apologize for my comment, if it hurt you Juliet. You need comfort right now, not advice on dating from a guy with very little experience in the field. So…I have literally no clue what to say. I’ve never gotten that far with a person and had them cheat on me. Hm…I guess I would say that Romeo’s kinda revealed himself to be an inconsiderate prick, and not a very bright one at that. Maybe he doesn’t deserve you? Uhh, crap this is useless. Please pay no intention to the idiot behind the keyboard.

  • OneWhoWatchesOverTheCrowd says:

    Love is war Juliet. Confronting him would be a horrible thing to do. A mans feelings should not be hated on once he changes his mind. I would recommend watching the musical “Grease” if you are able to sometime. It deals with the same problem.

    This means war. Show Romeo what he has left behind and he will come crawling back like a cockroach.

  • Flitterbie says:

    I feel bad for you, I truly do, Juliet. However, this is not the first time this has happened. Next time you see Romeo, ask him about Rosaline. See if that name brings anything up.

  • Wysp says:

    Just remember what I told you before, Jules.

  • Yankee White says:

    I’m gonna keep my advice simple. You need to improve your listening skills. Romeo wants someone who is interested in what’s inside HIS head and who cares about his view of the world. I suggest you practice asking inquisitive questions to your sorority friends and listening intently, asking follow up questions. Try not to be invasive and keep it casual. When your ready, try out your new skills with Romeo. Communication is key in any relationship, be it friends or lovers, and listening is just as important as talking nonstop.

  • Slender Man says:

    Go home alone Juliet. It is obvious Romeo does not want you anymore.
