I got this today. I'm very sad now! I made light of a hurtful situation so that it wouldn't hurt as much. After reading this I feel like a dick.
I realize some things are not meant to be. I guess I tricked myself into thinking if I was more understanding, and more lenient things would be better in the long run. I give everyone I know the benefit of the doubt, maybe to a fault. I make too many excuses for people when they tend to hurt me over and over.
A good friend told me today to live in the real word, not the DRAMA that is the internet.
I guess I fooled myself into thinking that if we EVER did break up it would be a nice amicable split. We would discuss how things were not working out and decide to break up, but maybe still talk once in a while. That is really FAR from what happened. Honestly I wish that I had shut my mouth and continued to be "ignorant and in bliss", but I am sure I will come to my senses soon.
I took a chance dating someone with a lot of "complications". I know I believed what ever issue came up, that we were on the same team and we could work anything out.
The past nine months have been awesome, I love mike VERRY VERRY much, and I am sad thast things ended the way they did. It is really hard when there is no way that you can put into words how much you love someone only to have them throw you aside.
I decided in the beginning I was just going to be honest, tell the whole truth and be myself. I didn't want to be with anyone long term while trying to be someone I was not.
Mike and I clicked right away. I have never had someone make me laugh as much as he did, noone ever made me feel as pretty and desirable. Noone ever made me feel more secure in myself and my abilities. I have had a lot of weird relationships, but none that were as committed
and serious as this one.
I wanted to know EVERYTHING about Mike, I wanted to be a part of his life. I wanted to know what made him tick, and what made him happy. I wanted to know the taste of his kiss and the sound of his laugh. I put everything I had into our relationship, and even though sometimes it was hard, I knew that I loved him and in the end it would be worth something.
I made huge efforts to spend time with Mike, I drove to his house in the winter when my car had no heat. I woke up at 6am just so I could wake up next to him. And it was all worth it to me. We spent a lot of nights in. We had a lot of fun nights out.
We drank cheap champagne under the stars by the lake, we laid out in a grassy field and looked at the stars. We had a lot of really awesome times that no matter if we speak again I will always remember and they will be special to me.
We went to soccer games, and even played a tournament on the same team. I didn't care how stupid I looked, I just wanted to be able to say that we were on the same team together and had a fun time. I enjoyed getting to know Mike and Nicolette as well as his co workers and the game of soccer. I went to a lot of his games and talked about a LOT of soccer, because I knew it was important to him. I met both sides of his family, and at the time I thought that meant a lot.
We have been to a lot of awesome parties, and shared a lot of fun and laughs. I have shared things with Mike that I will never share with anyone ever again. And to me that is special, no matter what the outcome was.
Mike really taught me a lot about myself, and I really do believe that he helped me become a more selfless person. I appreciate the time and patience he took in teaching me things, and I appreciate the fact that he never got frustrated or sharp tounged with me.
Most of the best times with Mike were just chilling out at home, making pizza, or spicy enchiladas and food on buns. We had a lot of time at home to get to know eachother, and there were a lot of awesome nights with the three of us.
Christmas was really special to me, I never had anyone to buy gifts for. And the night we exchanged gifts was soo awesome. Christmas day we layed around and ordered in Chinese and watched sketchy sci- fi. One of the reasons I love Mike soo much is the fact that he is an AWSOME father to his daughter. He has more patience and love for her than I have ever seen any one parent have. He puts her above everything and I know that sometimes it isn't always easy.
I was really glad when I met Mike that there was finally someone that was interested in me as much as I was in them. Just driving around in the car holding hands, and singing to Jack Johnson meant a LOT to me. I am really going to miss his laid back personaity and positive
outlook on life.
Being in a committed relationship takes a lot of time and effort. For all the time I invested and effort I gave, there just wasn't enough for him. Which makes me sad, specially the fact that no one person can give you that much attention. And it breaks my heart that I didn't make him happy and that his feelings for me faded. For me everyday with Mike made me feel more secure and more comfortable. I never spent so much time with one person, and changed my schedule to better match their needs.
I really love Mike a lot, more than I could ever put into words here. I guess I am sorry if I didn't convey that to him in a way that he understood. I didn't have "one foot in the door" I am completely in love. (Everybody knows I 'm in over my head, over my head). And I should have realized maybe he wasn't at Valentine's Day. I think I was the only girl in north America that got a card that said "Happy VD", with no I love you, or Love Mike. But once again I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I am sad that things went sour, and I wasn't enough for him. I am pretty devastated right now, and I don't care who knows it. I would rather people knew how I felt, specially since we never know how long we are going to live.
I still love Mike and I am really really going to miss him. I am going to miss holding hands and proofreading his papers. Watching the Sunday sports extra, Conan and sketchy sci fi. It really breaks my heart that we didn't end things nicely. I am never again going to kiss him goodnight, or wake up in his arms, have him kiss my forehead in the middle of the night. Stay up till 3am "making out", watch his soccer games.
Never going to play with Nicolette and go out to dinner, help her cut up her food. I am not going to be around for her 3rd birthday, I am not going to get to see her first soccer game. And that really hurts. A lot a LOT.
Everything reminds me of Mike, every song makes me cry. I guess this all makes me seem weak, and stupid. But this is how I feel and I am going to miss a lot. What hurts even more is being with Mike for nine months and have our whole demise summed up by him in ONE paragraph.
It hurts being this upset, when I don't think it has effected him at all. I never had to really "break up" with anyone before. I don't know what to do. I want to get my things from his house, But I know that will really hurt.
I don't know what to give back, and what to throw away, or what to keep. Maybe he cheated, maybe he didn't, eitherway he wasn't sorry and gave no explanation. What hurts fivethousand times more than the thought of him cheating, is his "lukewarm" feelings for me.
I realize I may have said some hurtful things, and for that I am sorry. I would never hurt him on purpose, and if I did I feel bad about it.
I have never been so in love, I have never been with someone so smart and interesting, that made me smile and felt "right".
And it hurts, exactly like I thought it would.
