cheer up sweetie!! us women are programmed to go through bullshit every now and then. it happens, and not a damn thing can make us feel better. i usually turn to alcohol haha and about charles.... was this the first time you two talked since he left? he may be feeling the same thing, and just not wanting to talk alot. you two seem very close, so i dont think you have anything to worry about. anyway, just cheer up, although i know its hard at times.
