Today we’re offer­ing up a some­thing a lit­tle dif­fer­ent.  Today’s piece is from ‘Con­sum­ingt­h­eart,’ a long time reader, first time con­trib­u­tor to the Urban Dater.  Today she’s going to pro­vide us with a very per­sonal, heart-​​felt, good­bye let­ter.  I’ve always been fas­ci­nated with the notion of a “Dear John” let­ter.  Writ­ing a  let­ter pro­vides an excel­lent forum for sort­ing [...]
