Quote from: CountDeMoney on September 07, 2009, 04:56:18 PMI sincerely doubt Hortlund could get that depressed over anything.  Remember, he abandoned his children and cruises for high school chicks.

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

Not to mention his profound interest in WitP-AE.

Anyways, sorry to hear your story, Hort/blue, not much more that I can offer besides my sincere condolences. :(

 Im really, really sorry. I was just lying awake at night yesterday pondering what i'd do if fortune took the woman of my dreams away from me by some fickle chance- I figure i'd end it my own self, rather than start over.

That's horrible. Your young and successful, and that may have more meaning to you again in the future, at least.

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

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

His other posts don't scream Hortlund, but some are in line.  There is some similarity in style and an effort is made to tell us how important he is.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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

Yeah, me too. Well, before the suicide part.  :Embarrass:

Im not Hortlund, whoever that is, but if it makes any difference, my nickname at the old forum was Oxenstierna.

You have my sincere condolences. :console:

Terrible story. :console: I feel really sorry for you.



PS: Hortlund was another Swedish user who sometimes posted stories about his life and was also a big WITP fan, so that's why people may have thought that you were him.

Yeah...

What really gets me though is that I never saw it coming. Usually when a relationship is ending, you can see the writing on the wall. Or at least you worry about seeing the writing on the wall. This went from "perfect" to "Its over and I want you to move out tomorrow" in the blink of an eye. When I talked to her about it, saw it the same way. She never considered us breaking up before that panic-attack-weekend, and then she "just knew" she had to leave me in order to avoid the stress and "get her mental health back".

Well that is what is so horrible about mental illness.  You had no way to know her problem was this serious.
