there's the rub...

mike - "So, it's like a retro active decision then? I mean, I could, like, forget about her. And then when she comes back, make like I just pretended to forget about her?"

rob - "Right, although probably more likely the opposite."

mike - "What do you mean?"

rob - "I mean, at first you're gonna pretend to forget about her. Not call her, I don't know, whatever. But then eventually, you really will forget about her."

mike - "Well, unless she comes back first."

rob - "Mmm, see, that's the thing. Somehow they know not to come back until you really forget."

mike - "There's the rub."

rob - "There's the rub."

from the movie Swingers

so, you ask, why this scene from the movie? What’s going on in your life that requires this post? Well, here’s the thing… I just recently dated someone for a few weeks… it was good, but it’s over, the closer I came to making this a relationship, the more I thought about “him.” We (he and I) had closure, kind of… but there are so many things that I want to know…such as did the divorce ever become final? Did the custody agreement ever get settled? Are you still taking a trip at the end of this month for work? How are the kids? Are you happy and doing well? Did you ever get the plumbing and electric fixed? I don’t know, just been thinking about him a lot lately, and it really sucks, because it had been 3 months since the break up and I was ready to move on and BAM… so, why this scene? Because… there’s the rub…
