My story...

Btw, are you Hortlund by any chance? Your posting style seems similar?

[Grey Fox]

I was fully expecting a dating site link by the end of that story.

I sincerely doubt Hortlund could get that depressed over anything.  Remember, he abandoned his children and cruises for high school chicks.

Oh shit...
It could well be him.
He was the guy who left here because he thought it'd hurt his political career right?
I remember he met a nice woman who was a doctor too....
Surely he'd come clean about it though rather than hiding behind a sock?

[Caliga]

You're assuming that Hortlund was telling us the truth about himself.  I always found him very, very hard to believe.

[Habbaku]

We're also assuming this story is even real.

[Caliga]

Well, I don't see any harm in conceding that or at least giving this guy the benefit of the doubt.

My condolences, bluebook

Yeah, but the posting styles are uncanny, GrafdeGeld. Hortlund would regularly leave his heart on his sleeve like that, with both personal and professional conundrums. Plus, he went into public service and had the hots for some female doctor. And I note, he mentions Sweden and Stockholm

*puffs on pipe* It all fits Dr. Watson.

In which case, I'm really sorry for you Hortlund. 

[Eddie Teach]

If it is Hortlund, he wanted us to realize it, too much unnecessary biographical info.

Assuming the story is true, which I will, my condolences Bluebook, whoever you are.

"Why Holmes, that's positively douchebaggy!"

Well served sir!

I guess Bluebook/Horty has the next move.

[Alcibiades]

Wow condolences man.....that's a terrible story, I'm sorry.

[Monoriu]

What happened to you is terrible. 

But it is important that you avoid her fate. 

A time will come when you must forget her and move on, and I hope that day will come soon 

[DisturbedPervert]

I was all gung ho on the "you needed to slow down, partner" bit until I got to the suicide. There really isn't much to say after that.

Yeah, I'm glad I read to the end of the post before responding.

Wasn't someone called Saladin or something that worked in the government on the old languish? Can't this be him?
