The Titanic



So there was this relationship.  Let's call it The Titanic.

It was all new and shiny and wonderful...and everyone wanted to come along for the ride.

It was SO beautiful.  Everything seemed perfect....and so it sped along.

But it sped along too fast.  

By the time the captain realised there was an iceberg ahead, his feet chilled to the bone...it was too late.

He tried to slow it down and threw the engines into reverse, but put such a strain on her, she cavitated badly.  

Again he tried to correct course and slow down to a speed more suited to the conditions, and...for a brief moment, it looked as though disaster had been averted.

On the surface everything looked fine, but underneath the waterline, she was damaged beyond repair.  

There was no hope of keeping her afloat.


Women and children left first...

And then, as the band played on ....she was gone.

I won't be blogging for a while.


It's too cold and dark down here.

Oh no Frankie.
Fuck, that makes me feel so sad. As a 40's something solo mum, I think I had a vicarious stake in the success of this relationship.
Big hugs to you, lovely lady. xo

Frankie said...

Biblitra said...

I've started to read your blog only a couple of weeks ago, but I still feel very sorry for you. You seem to be a very strong girl, I'm sure you'll get through all of this.

Nicole said...

We'll be here when you return xox

aussiebody said...

I've always admired your spunk Ms Fifi Dangerfield. I know you'll bounce back. xx

Cyber-hugs from me too.

Frankie said...

Bibitra! Welcome.

Frankie said...

Hey guys thanks. I AM strong. It appears he's the only one who didn't realise that. I'll be ok after a good cry, this weekend is looking like a sad moviefest for sure. It IS sad. And I'm sure he's hurting too :o(

Flea said...

Big ((hugs)) to you and Bams. I'm fond of you both and you are both still great people. It take maturity to acknowledge and not just go with it for the sake of it.

Bryant said...

Frankie, I came across your blog a few weeks ago also. I hope everything works out, if you need some reads to help with the situation, I can suggest some books that helped me. In any case, take care.

That's why I never take cruises.
Bad things happen on ships...

Frankie said...

Flea - we need a catch up xxx

Bryant - welcome and thanks, but right now my friends have really stepped up. I'm very lucky.

Fingers - you don't know what you're missing x

Where's fucking James Cameron and his salvage team when you need him?

Rae Cattach said...

Really, REALLY dislike =(

What is wrong with guys these days... how dare they not realise how completely awesome and hot you are!! Seriously messed up.

Have a good wallow for a week or so (it's the best thing for sad events), then revert back to your fantastic, witty, sexy self and rock on!!

Love Rae xxx

Frankie said...

Thanks Rae xxx Although, it wasn't like that. Shit, and I'm not going to talk about it here so... I will just say, it wasn't like that. x

Ms Smack said...

You are both many things, but importantly, both of you are lovable.

Take some time and be kind to yourselves.

xx

Frankie said...

Thanks Ms Smack. I wish love was enough xxx

fingers said...

I wish I was taller.
But I'll settle for being taller than Bam Bam.

Chin up, baby.
At least you can get back to some edgy blogging again...

Frankie said...

I doubt there will be anything edgy to report. I'm finding blogland a little difficult at the moment.

But I WILL be blogging about the size of my arse as usual...

emma said...

sorry to hear that it didn't work out. how sad. hope you are surrounded by people who will give you much needed hugs. take care luv x

emma said...

although i am confused. you two seemed to be going along really well? sorry, i know you've said you won't talk about it here but it's just a shame that you're both hurting when you seemed so happy. but yeah, that's obvious. i never know what to say in these kinds of situations. just hope you are doing okay.

Frankie said...

Thanks Emma. We both made mistakes..but they were mistakes that stemmed from love... which makes it all the more confusing. I really don't want to say anymore. I wish it was different but it's happened. There's nothing I can do :o(

emma said...

i know. i'm so sorry. this stuff is awful. thinking of you xx
