not logical

I call the planetarium to check in -- the usual "hey, I'm still alive" bit -- and got to talk to Bossman.

Bossman: "PhysicsGeek told me something the other day, and I'd almost hate to ask, but..."
Techno: "Yeah, I made a grown man cry."

Then he played the dad role for a bit and listened to my explanation and assured me that everything would be okay. And I know it sounds weird, but we are his kids. And he is very much a father figure to me.

I just didn't think that I would be this upset after talking to him about it.

If I dumped him, why am I still so torn up about it?
