Breakup [10 Trandary 4262]

Reason that Jinthinia Broke Up With Me	The Truth	What I Shall Do About It
I will only consider students for roommates. This is a sign of disrespect for her and people like her.	How could a non-student -- and a never-student in particular -- appreciate the life of a student? Be sympathetic to our late nights, our periodic urgencies, our terrible distress in matters of homework or examination, our desparate need for revelry?	Rent the room to a student!
She envies my adventuring prowess, and the ease and privelege by which I got ahold of a supreme and very easy adventuring gig.	I hate the gig, I wish I weren't an adventurer, and I've been trying to stop since I started. Telling her this did not improve the situation.	No choice at the moment.
I am unkind about her child, and have avoided having lunch with them or particularly meeting the kid.	Her child is a frequent source of difficulties in seeing her at hours when I can see her, an insipid topic of conversation, and no particular concern of mine. Not that Jinthinia shouldn't care about Kixikou, but, well, Mul-Mul can (and does) take care of him sometimes -- lots of times -- and when Jinthinia and I manage to get time together, she should spend time with me.	Nothing.
I am insuffiently cautious about her privacy as traff. Her friends are beginning to suspect.	Maybe right, but I think they suspect from long since.	I hate this one! Ilottat did it to me too!
She is (financially) embarrassed by our dates. I pay for a lot, she for a little.	Hmph.	I intend to have ~mother~ pay my bills for as long as possible!
She is Orren; she never stays with anyone for more than a few weeks.	This is hard to deny, given what is said about her at Across Saga.	I shall swear off Orren for life.

And, to add humiliation to angrish [sic], I spent the next hour or so whimpering at Anoof. The most sympathetic shoulder to cry on would be cisaffectionate. Hmph.

If you're like me in not wanting to conceal your romances (or not being any good at it, because I tend to grin like a drunken loon when out with my beloveds), you may need to limit yourself to partners who are either also willing to be open about the relationship, or able to find ways to hide from the people they're worried about, without avoiding being seen with you in public. (An Orren student from another city, maybe, who was willing to be seen with you by other students as long as their parents didn't find out?)

Swearing off Orren for life may be the best course, at least for tonight.

It is hard to be seen in public with my sweetie without riding on her shoulder, at least often.

It is hard to ride on her shoulder without kissing her ear, at least often. Or insinuating my tailtip here or there.

I suppose I could limit myself to the upper classes -- the ones who sometimes affect traff (or, usually, libertine) manners because they are stylish, but without actually being traff (or, usually, libertine). Not a bad idea. My previous Orren student from another city didn't work out very well, alas...

But yes, I should try to swear off Orren for life more often.
