an ending letter to a girl

I really involved you all in the start, mid point, and what
is pretty much the end of the best relationship of my life.

Therefore, I feel you all can comment on how it all fell
apart. I sent this too her today, and I sorrow filled me,
but the that last line is what I learned......

------------
I wish I was adept at explaining my emotions and state
without getting all
weird.

In any event, if you're just going to call to catch up after
not talking to
me for a week, don't bother, I hate being treated that way.

If you want me, to talk to, to have me there to talk to,
fine. I just can't
handle you coasting through a friendship with me, touching
base when you
feel like it, while I do all I can, all the time, to be the
best thing for
you, friend or foe.

I shouldn't even bother with you, with the way you treat me,
you don't
deserve a guy like me. Yeah, I don't know what to say
either.
Unfortunately, I'm still stuck between the never and the
now, as my brain
won't slit my wrists to bleed the affection my heart still
has for you.

George

okay. I think it's fine that you talk about your feelings
and your worries on the board - posting last letters to
girlfriends is crossing a line, though.

that really is between you and her.

welp, that's sucks huh?

i drew all the strength to ask this girl out from you guys,
I really did.

I consider the lot of you friends. This is the internet,
sure, but I feel like you guys have been there for me.

If this crosses some line, then fuck me, I tried real hard
to not make it personal against her, and it really isn't,
it's how I feel.

I refer to my second question in my previous post...

I thought things were working out OK between you two? Have I
been missing that much???

first off, thanks for actually giving a shit, I don't get
angry often, but yeah, appreciate it.

She just went away this summer, and it all fell apart. I
thought things were patched up, but deep down there was, and
still is love, but my brain knows this doesn't work.

We agreed to be cool friends for a while, see how it went,
but I couldn't take the lack of caring or compassion.

I couldn't handle one e-mail a week. I said I'd just leave
her alone, and she didn't like that, I don't know, I really
wish it could be all heart, but unless something fundamental
changes about the way she treats me and the way I think of
her in that regard, this is prolly it.

we'll see what she says in reply, if she bothers.

-------------
again, this isn't a personal thing against her, like I said,
I still love her very plainly, but it's a personal thing for
me to talk about it. No roomates her, no friends around,
and I have to be in the library all weekend, this is my only
outlet.

no no, I don't really blame her, I mean, I guess it wasn't
meant to work.

again, I don't mean for this thread to bash my gf, I do care
about her.

I just want to get off my chest the stuff that fucked with
my head.

It sucks when you know you prolly can't be with someone you
love, that is all I am trying to say......

Very much so....

Relationships can fuck you up just as much as they can make
you happy. Fucking shame it didn't work out, especially
seeing as you two have been happily together for quite a
while now I believe...

Again: sorry to hear this :(

Sorry I can't be like these knob jockeys...you just need to
pull yourself together and get on with shit. There is more
to life than a girl not talking to you for a week...maybe
you were expecting too much from her and it is you with the
problem.

So before you start saying she is not good enough for you,
perhaps you should take a look at yourself.

I think perhaps you need to find a bit of room in your view
on people to accept that different people can feel
differently about things to the way you do. You might think
he's in need of a life and to you it's all a laugh, but
clearly not to him.
You don't have to be a knob jockey, just have a little
empathy :) and tolerance. A bit of leeway in life isn't a
bad thing.

I didn't mean he was a knob jockey...I meant the others :)

I don't think he needs a life either, I just think it isn't
good to get yourself really down about stuff and then have a
load of people sympathising which can make things work.

I am too drunk to carry on with this self justification.

btw, I am a trained hostage negotiator so I think I should
know a little about talking people off roofs.

It wasn't harsh it was nicely put and made me think for a
minute about my actions. :D!

I would offer you a beer if this wasn't the internet, coz
the last time I offered someone a beer my sdcreen had to be
replaced.

I could try and create an XML schema for beer, but I don't
think it would serialise.

And if you don't understand that, I envy you.

Sadly I do given that I am actually in the middle of project
involving the conversion of DTD to schemas and then the
extension of the schemas to cover more of the data which has
to be transferred from a proprietary format on some shitty
old Bull Mainframes running under VAX :(

sorry to hear that blatantecho. but look on the bright side,
sometimes things happen for a reason, as painful as they may
be. :-D

i.e. For instance, if i had not been broke up with at
homecoming, i would have never met the girl who i lost my
virginity to. True story.

From every tragedy in our lives, we learn a lesson.

that Gandhi chap really was a smart guy!! :)

man, I know exactly how you feel, trying to push down
stronger feelings to try and be friends... maybe you
should've just talked to her first about how you couldn't
seem to be just friends, and then seen how she replied... I
don't know though... the best of luck with everything from
this point on... and yes, everything does happen for a
reason... think about that, and try to be positive... you'll
meet someone else, and you'll be better prepared for her
because of this relationship you just had... you're a wiser
person now, and a stronger one too...

oh, and in reply to uzims post... well yes, it would be nice
if there was no heartache in the world from this sort of
thing... if we were all just friends, and never tried
anything else we'd all be happy... yes, but you would never
feel greater happiness that love can bring... sometimes you
have to risk pain and heartache to find that greater
happiness... it's a risk we all just gotta take!

But seriously, well put Mr. Funkmaster!

You can always learn from defeat. It makes you stronger.
Just like Ryu! Whenever this Street Fighter gets defeated,
he takes it as a sign he needs more training..... oops.

BlatantEcho:
Good luck getting through all this. I know times like this
can be tough. My advice to you is just to be honest. Yeah,
maybe you've heard that a thousand times already, but in my
experience, trying to disguise how you feel just fucks
everything up way worse than it would've been if you were
honest about everything.

of course Ryu doesn't lose that many fights. I meant, Ryu,
as a person, a character, if he lost a fight, he'd train
harder to win next time.

I.E. In SFAlpha II, if you beat him with Sakura, he believes
that he must then train even harder! :-D

I am quite the Ryu fan... but watch out for me if I'm using
old-school Vega/Bison (not pussy-ass ALpha bison)

well BE i'm sorry about the apparent? ending to this
relationship, but it's your first and not everything in life
has a happy ending. =/

some things to think about.....take it as you will, but i've
always been HONEST with you about these things and sometimes
honest things are not what one wants to hear at this
point...however

i agree with whoever said letters are a COP out, if you
can't stop playing games long enough to CALL her yourself
(no matter that she didn't call you for a week) and end it
over the phone or in person that says something about this
relationship RIGHT there. it seems like you've just coasted
along and handed the reins over to her.....in any
relationship you should have EQUAL say in things, however it
seems to me from WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN that she is the one
with all the say so....very bad position to be in. also that
letter was.....i dunno....if i received it from a
boyfriend/friend.....i would RUN in the opposite direction,
not towards the person. again thats my REACTION to it.

secondly....life is not easy, or fun, or beautiful or
wonderful all the time. without the bad how would we know
how GOOD things can be. life/birth is not without
pain.....so it goes to say that everything in life has it's
equal an opposite reaction. it's what we LEARN from the pain
and the joy that makes life better.....so remember that! no
one likes mediocrity in anything....certainly not in
relationships.

thirdly, and again it's from what i've seen on this MB
only......you don't seem to react to things in a moderate
way. it's ONE EXTREME to another....you need to calm down
and find some PEACE within yourself. you usually jump
towards the more NEGATIVE side of things, than the positive,
but having those extreme mood swings isn't good for you or
any relationship.

fourthly...you need to not put all this pressure on the
person you're dating for your OWN happiness. you need to be
responsible for that. it seems like everything is riding on
this relationship? what about your other friendships,

do'h too long.....damn i'm wordy. lucky for me i copied it
before hitting reply......so continued....

fourthly...you need to not put all this pressure on the
person you're dating for your OWN happiness. you need to be
responsible for that. it seems like everything is riding on
this relationship? what about your other friendships, your
sailing, etc....you should take comfort from those, however
while dating you should always have those things around to
have OTHER things in your life than just a romantic
relationship. you have to bring INTERESTING things to your
relationship....it keeps things FRESH and ALIVE...the only
way you can is by having OUTSIDE interests that may NOT
include her. my bf doesn't like everything i do, and vice
versa.....and you shouldn't. you should let her be her own
person and you the same, that way you aren't bored around
each other, and it is less obssessive. seems like to me
you've been putting all your eggs in ONE basket.....and when
the basket falls to the ground, everything in your world is
crushed. thats a lot of responsibility you've put on someone
elses shoulders, and it's not fair to her or yourself.

i could say more, but it's along those same lines. i hope it
doesn't make you feel worse or freak out, but you need
someone to be honest and tell ya that the choices we make
are not always the right ones, and hopefully we learn from
those mistakes. there will be other girls, and other
experiences in your life that will waiting for you out there
in your future....remember while you felt she was perfect
for you, you may not have been what was perfect for HER. two
sides to every coin.

good LUCK!
