Jupiter:
I’m having a hard time accepting that it’s really over – which I know is lame since I initiated all this mess. But I think I’ll hope for a long, long time that you’ll magically wake up one day and want a real, grown-up life with me so it can work.
Until then I’ll be grateful for what I had and said I needed to give it up.
Love you, lovingly. —Busty

Jesus. I was on the losing end of someone like you, Busty, and it sucked balls. Grow up and deal with your emotional issues before you ever get into a relationship with this person, or anyone else for that matter. It’ll do the world some good. How do you “have a hard time accepting that it’s over” even if you initiated it? That’s just selfish.
Ugh. Rant over.
I agree. Sounds like you made a big mess an now this person finally comes to see that you were the one they didn’t need and not the other way around. You could be honest with HER instead of hiding, lying, running from it. Loser.
You know, it takes a very mature person to take a stand on a failing relationship. Talk things out, get therapy. But running is so lame. Now you miss her. Now you’ve spent all your options and there’s nothing left but bitterness, sadness and a memory that knaws at your heart and your soul. Keeps you up at night. Party, party, party, forget her, forget her, you can’t. Those dreams that wake you in tears. Do something!
