Ahh....I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. Shawnee, don't take this the wrong way, but I am glad I read about your problem, or should I say, hopefully, a no-longer problem. I haven't been posting because I've been rather down. I had asked dear Cellars for advice on a V-Day present for my bf. Well, I bought something. Then a week later, he
emailed to break up with me. Told me to digest the letter and call him to talk it over if I wanted to. Five days later, after my anger had subsided, I called him. He never picked up the phone. Just three weeks after he said he loves me very much, he wrote to say in light of his mother's advancing sickness, he did not have the time nor energy for a relationship, and the thought of talking to me drained him emotionally. I am still confused to how a person can switch his emotions and feelings just like that. However, I am trying to let go and not care anymore.
I am just glad to see that I am not the only sad person on V-Day (because it has been too damn lonely seeing all these happy people). I sincerely hope all broken heart and hurt women, like Shawnee and myself, can let go of rotten men and meet someone who can make us happy. And if we don't find our Mr. Right just yet, who gives a damn because we don't need a man to make us happy, right?
Shawnee: I hope things are working out for you.
By the way, thanks for all the VD images. Sure made me smile.
