So, I met Keith and Tiffany in August, 2003. They were the roommates of a friend of mine. I didn't know that they were dating and Keith was rather flirtacious. It was only when I realized that there were two bedrooms in the house and Mike occupied one by himself that I learned the truth. The couple actually seemed very well suited to eachother - they had identical tastes and while they were never very physical around other people, they seemed to care for eachother.

Then, totally out of the blue [at least to me], I learned that they broke up this weekend. Now I don't have a lot of contact with either - Tiffany has been in Nevada for the past month and I only see Keith when he is at work - so I wouldn't be expected to say or do anything, but I still feel weird. Its almost similar to a death, like when Mr. Henry's father died, except there was a social convention that allowed me to express my sympathy [aka I sent a sympathy card]. There are no such things as "Sorry You Broke Up" cards or social conventions that allow people to express that. Basically, I'm feeling confused and a little bit frustrated.
