    This is what I feel right now, well said! <3

    I was in a long-distant relationship, and we were going strong, but all the sudden he started to ignore me, and whenever we talked he would make excuses saying he was so busy and that he had a lot on his plate. But I knew it was all bull... I just wanted to think better of him I guess, so I made all these silly excuses for him -- lying to myself in the process.

    And now I found out just this last Saturday that he has a GF, didn't even TELL ME. He told my sister instead... what a coward. Making me wait around for nothing, just simply for nothing.

    It makes me feel like shit.

    i totally agree. gosh, why cant people just be straightforward. it would save everyone a great deal of time and energy.
  • Coldflamesburnfaster · 2 months ago
    I agree with what you said, Daydreamer. It's like... they say they're trying not to hurt you by not telling you, but you're still being hurt in the process of them not talking to you at all.

    I'd rather be told straightforward what's going on (there's less heartache in that) then to feel left out in the dark and ignored.

    This is just.... so heartbreaking to read, and knowing so many people can relate to this letter is what makes it even more heartbreaking.

    It's just so sad to me, and I wish all the cowards in the world can one day feel the pain they once gave to us when they couldn't tell us the truth instead of leaving us in the dark.

    i know what it feels like to be in the situation coldflamesburnfaster and daydreamer just said. T.T

    you look so pathetic making excuses to yourself why he avoids you just to simply comfort yourself out of that painful thought. Why don't they just tell it to you frankly? It would be less painful to know it directly from them than having you there alone in the middle inventing of different reasons why he acts like that.

    I once told him that if ever his feelings for me changes he would tell it to me right away, and he agreed and promised that he would do it, and he also added that it will never happen anyway coz he'll always have the same feelings for me.
    The hell to him! HE IS A BIG ROTTEN COWARD for not telling me in the end that his feelings faded, I ended up confronting him myself. UGH! T.T
    It was so painful.


    sorry for the outburst. I just need to let this out of my system. T.T

    Awwww, Purplemoon! It's alright, this is what the site is for! Too be able to express your hurt and frustration. I think all of us would agree letting it out helps. I'm still going through withdraws though -- of not speaking to him, I miss his friendship more then anything.
  • purplemoon · 1 month ago
    yes, it's what I hate about break-ups, the friendship is totally gone. I mean, we're not the same like before. I miss hanging out with him doing nothing and yet you feel perfectly happy, those were the times when we're really close friends. Now, we're only civil with each other.

    Man, every time I see this post, I cry all over again.
  • purplemoon · 4 weeks ago
    coldflamesburnfaster: Awww!! me too! but it's still a comfort to know that there are still people on this site who knows how you feel and that you are not alone.
    I'm glad I heard about this site and found people like you here. :)

    i just burst into a little bout of tears. love is hard, but losing love and that friendship is even harder. i saw this on letter to crushes. maybe it will you make you feel better, it did for me.


    Dear World,

    My unrequited friends, the weary in love, the confused in pieces and the tender of heart: just breathe. I’m sorry you feel pain. Smile. Laugh. Why hurt? You are aware of something wonderful in this chaotic world. You have loved. You possess the ability to love. I promise you no matter how many times you are hurt in life, no matter how many times you fall in the darkness, you will never lose that ability. You will always have love. Remember that and hold tight, won’t you? Someone close wishes to share their abilities with you. I know it.

    — Your Friend

    Purplemoon: Yeah you're right it is. But even still, sometimes when people you cared about treated you like horrible shit you start to wonder why? And then it occurs to you that you'll never understand that kind of evil, and that confusion makes you sad inside.

    And for me, that kind of hurt scars you for life, you'll never forget it.
    Life is an interesting thing, and this world is so evil... you gotta be loving and yet evil in a way to fight for what you want.

    You gotta be evil to stay alive. And how horrible that is... what the world has come to is just so sad to me. How people are and what they are capable of doing without giving a shitsworth of what it would do and create for people around them. No respect. None at all. So far gone...

    WOERDD.

    People don't realize that your loved ones will only be in your life for so long. Why waste time with the bullshit?
