Sorry things didn't work out Melissa, though I'm sure in time you will find Mr Right and you will both know it.
Hmm after he ruined my birthday last May 24 and left me behind when he spotted his ex in the mall last Saturday (which, BTW, was his birthday), no. I'm done trying to be the one that he needs. When questioned why he did what he did, he said that he didn't want to hurt his ex's feelings by seeing us together. He cared about her feelings but didn't give a damn about mine and that says a lot.
All of which is unforgivable. I am so sorry to hear of your break-up and that the Brit in question was not a gentleman.
He wasn't sorry about what he did, he made that very clear. This is not the first time he made me feel alone; throughout the course of our short relationship, he was always pushing me away, picking fights over non-existent ex issues. What happened last Saturday was the ubiquitous straw that broke the camel's back. I wish things happened differently because I love him but as life dictates (and what you learn as you grow older), love is not enough.
Hmmm, he sounds rather controlling to me, possibly a touch misogynistic, and possibly couldn't handle a strong, assertive, well-educated and independently-minded woman such as yourself. Maybe he expected you to be more submissive like many of your compatriots and not questioning. It sounds as though you are well-shot of him so I would not waste your energy shedding too many tears over him. You'll meet someone soon enough who will admire and respect you and your qualities .
There's this quote that I stumbled on Facebook the other day saying, "The more educated and learned a woman is, the harder it is to find a man." LOL I think this is true in my case. ^_^ You're right, Markham. I am well-shot of him and I'm done crying. I still see him everywhere and in everything that I do, mainly because we shared so much in what time we spent together. I'm thankful as well that I met him because even though our relationship was short-lived, we learned a lot from each other and it'll help us to become better persons and better partners in our future relationships. I sound fine, haha, but I'm not yet fine FINE. I will be, in time. ^_^
So he was the one who was a wreck and not over the last relationship, not you! K and I were both "on the rebound" when we met, and we spent the next three years worrying about that! But don't expect the English to be sensitive; we are more sensitive than the Germans, but so is the average block of wood!
