Up most of the night

I am exhausted, mentally and physically.  Katie and I were up most of the night.  Yes, once again it's the "triangle".   Mike and Katie have been broken up for 4 days.  Last night after youth group, Matt asked her if she would be his girl.  She was so happy, and of course she said yes.  Later, she was on the phone with Matt, when Mike IM'd her about 9:00pm.  He was being his usual sarcastic self, when all of a sudden he tells her that he wants her back. He says he can't eat, can't sleep (sounds like a country music song!) He admits that he's been acting badly, but it was out of pain.  Well, she had been reading portions of the IM to Matt the whole time, and when it can to that part she groaned and said "He wants me back"  She denied wanting to go back with him when Matt asked, but then when she didn't respond to Mike's IM after a minute or 2 she gets a beep on the phone.  She tells Matt "I think Mike is calling"  She said she would call him right back. . . .she was on the phone with Mike for 2 hours.  Of course she still loves him, I know that, Matt knows that.  When she got off the phone, she called Matt, but he didn't answer.  I think he must know how the conversation went.  

She knows that she has to make a decision, one that will break the heart of someone she cares very deeply for.  So, she decided last night to take a break from both of them for a few days while she sorts out the mush that was formerly known as her brain.  She's not sure what she wants right now. I told her to get 3 peices of paper.  The first should be a Master List of all that she wants in a boyfriend/husband/significant other. On the other 2, write their names on top.  Then take each boy, write down their strengths, their good qualities, their weaknesses, their bad qualities, how they make her a better person, a worse person, what losing them would mean to her, what staying with them would mean to her.  I said write down what she would change about them and what she would never change.  Then I told her to compare each boy's list to her Master List and write down any observations.  Then I suggested that she pray about it, long and hard.  Don't make any rash decisions.  I don't know how else to help her.  It is ultimately her decision.  It looks as though its gonna be a long day.  I'm going to go now.  I am very sad, and so I must keep myself busy.  Thank you all who sent sweet comments and those of you following this Love Triangle.  Bye
