You\u2019ve been together for as long as you can remember, and the prospect of being without <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Meat<\/span> is terrifying.

After the break up, you have those moments where you want to call your <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">him<\/span> up, just to hear <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">his<\/span> voice one last time. <\/b>Would it really be so bad to meet <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">him<\/span> for lunch?

Everyone else has some sort of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Meat<\/span> in their life, she says, and she just wants what\u2019s best for you.
