this all seriously goes back to college days (over 20 years ago) believe it or not.... We were broke up at the time (because he was screwing around) and he came up to college to bring me flowers for some reason. he saw me in my apartment with another guy...I went outside and talked to him...he got the picture that i was moving on and it crushed him.
Yeah...makes no logical sense - but that's where it stems from.
