"Has Any Man Broken Your Heart?"

Thank you for this question, Guillaume of Vraie Fiction. Your worry that it might be considered crass is unfounded. My life is an open book, mon ami.

The only man who has ever broken my heart is Colin Firth/Mr. Darcy. God damn him and his Regency good looks! * sob *


But what about my university boyfriend Doofus, whom I dated when still labouring under the mistaken impression that I was straight? No, Doofus did not break my heart. Only my hymen. And good riddance to both it and him, quite frankly.

Now, I must admit that a certain amount of heartache has been caused by all the various lesbian lovers I've had over the years. "There's no drama like dyke drama," as they say and alas, it's true. Luckily, however, no long-lasting or permanent damage has been done to my heart. I'm a survivor in the game of luuuuv, baby.

    I must be the only woman who's immune to Colin Firth's supposed charm :)

    I just read your post about Doofus. I've never heard of that wine before. I guess that's a good thing.

    Have a great week.

    I have to say I enjoyed the pedantry of this post. No man has ever broken your heart, even if a woman or two has. But the question related specifically to men. Anyway, I'm glad you got through it all fine. Sometimes one heartbreak is all it takes to screw you over forever.

    With that incredibly unblemished skin and tussled hair, his boy-ish good looks do beckon....

    Hello Debra,

    Better to have loved and lost..........as they say!

    The little film was wonderful. What with Elton's glasses and RuPaul's hair, both of which seem to have lives of their own, this is a fabulous version of an all time classic. So many ways to say 'I love you'........are our lives long enough to count them?

    Perhaps your original problem was dating a guy named Doofus?

    Also, look at those glorious sideburns. Who could resist such luscious cheek foliage?

    JACKIESUE hasn't had sex since the 80s. Let that sink in. That's it! We need to send her a Canadian Stud for Christmas this year!

    I had my heart broken once. He's dead now. Coincidence or comeuppance? Who's to say!

    dyke drama - I have heard it can be an extreme sport. I believe there just are people of all types that enjoy drama and promote it.

    Thank you for answering my question with such good humor. I would so not have my heart broken by a Jane Austen character.

    Manischewitz (or however you spell it) really? Oh good gods and goonybirds, that stuff would founder a horse... poor you! Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

    Erm, yes, had my own experience with it back when I was young and stupid. The only thing worse is drinking it and then following it with sloe gin... when wearing a brand-spankin'- new white outfit. That outfit went right into the rag bag.

    Loved that bit of camp, really cheered my day!

    colin firth (swoons)!

    there have been 2 heartbreakers in my life - one at age 19, the other at age 46.

    the ex-husband was a fluke. the current husband is...

    Ah yes, Mr. Darcy. I do heart him, i admit it. I think Shaun Cassidy was the first boy to break my heart when i was 11. Or was that Parker Stevenson. Anyway, i was crushed when i realized that neither Hardy Boy would ever be mine!

    Plenty of men have stomped on my heart. I glue it together again and prepare for the next stomping. One of these days I'll stomp harder than the man.

    Love,
    Janie
