Heartbreak oh noes

Turns out I didn't even have to break them up. Mike managed to do it all by himself!! Well done, Mike.

It all started when Mike had his birthday. There was no party, as he had a gig that night so he just aged up to Adult by the side of the stage. There were a few people around, at least.

Not people he knew, but oh well

A few seconds after that, Mike began having a Midlife Crisis. Now, I don't mind Midlife Crisis's, they're a pretty cool challenge. I always try and get as many wishes as possible, and the only ones I don't promise are the impossible ones, like moving to a new house (against legacy rules) and buying a $10,000 car (if they don't have enough money). Unfortunately, since Mike is Flirty, two or three of his wishes were to flirt with other women. You dog, Mike.

Still, what Emilie didn't know couldn't hurt her, and it's a really easy wish to fufil, so I promised them and Mike went on a flirt rampage. I don't even have any pictures of it, that's how insignificant it was. He pretty much said hello, flirted, then ran off again. But somebody must have seen him, and told everybody, because that very night Mike was accused of cheating and Publicly Disgraced. Oh dear.

Obviously, the next day he asked Emilie to come over, hoping to catch her before she heard the rumours and got mad. She said she didn't feel like it right now. Uh oh. Fearing the worst, Mike rushed over to her place. She answered the door, but straight away thought Mike was 'being rude' even though he hadn't yet said anything.

It was a bad sign

Mike dispelled the rumours, and she forgave him quickly. Too quickly. In fact for a bit things seemed to be going very well.

She doesn't look mad

But alas, it must have been a 'one last kiss' kind of thing, because right after that Emilie got very angry and wouldn't let Mike hug her.

Now she looks mad.

He tried apologising, tried a Smooth Recovery, but everything he did just made things worse.

That's not a happy face.

Finally, she accused Mike of cheating. Mike was offended.

How dare you. I only flirted with three other women.

He did continue to try and patch things up for a bit, but it clearly wasn't working. To avoid turning her into an enemy, Mike finally cut his losses and broke up with her.

It's not you, it's my Midlife Crisis.

To deal with his pain, Mike went to the Brightmore and spilled his sorrows to the barkeep.

And then she made a scary face at me! I'm so sad!

Then he danced alone for a bit, presumably with tears in his eyes.

WITH EVERY MOVE I DIE!

Now he's alone again, but older and wiser, and will hopefully remember this lesson in his next relationship. Which he needs to get onto pretty soon, because the whole point of a legacy is carrying on the family and so far he has none. He does, however, have a pretty sweet house. It's like a studio apartment now.

The fridge isn't sentient, Mike's just standing behind it

Life's tough, Mike. Just keep swimming.
