Officially, they were engaged. There were rumors that they had secretly wed, but those were never substantiated.
And I agree with you Natali - I get annoyed at their dwelling on the break-up, too. And feel bad for Michelle on a whole other level beside the obvious one of mourning someone she loves who was the father of her child - that she has to be regularly reminded of the break-up as well and talked about as the one "he split from" constantly.
Fucking press. Like so many of the rest of you here, I can't bear to watch TV right now unless it's my son's "Boomerang" cartoon channel. Between the tabloid style "journalism" (and with that, the inherent insensitivity and callousness) and the endless shit about the Federal Reserve and the interest rates and the stock market here, which I know I should care about but couldn't give a good Goddamn over, it's just unbearable.
As so many others have said, thank goodness for this place and for all of you. Some of my friends, family, and co-workers have been very sensitive and concerned - they know about the picture of Ennis at Aguirre's trailer in the first scene, the cowboy hats Melinda made for all of us at the Castro get-together, and the beautiful snowflake henrypie made for me hanging in my office and what those mean to me, and so they've told me I was the first person who doesn't actually know Heath they thought of when they heard the knews. But beyond that, everyone's going about their business as well they should and I just feel lost. It's so comforting to know others feel the same way (though I wish to hell we all didn't have to) and are available to commiserate with at all times.
XXOO to you all.
