She broke it up. I thought th...Ok, chronologically. She broke it up. I thought there is some logical flaw to the entire argument. Why would two people who gel so well want to break it up? (She had her reasons). So kept trying to break the impasse. Would keep calling. Kept calling for almost 2 years after the breakup. Every 2 months or so. Just couldn't forget the number. Would stay faraway from telephones when inebriated. Would hate myself everytime I called. Yet, the irrational hope. She was too mannered to not pick up, and say hi, how are you doing. And that cool demeanor got me madder. Why is she so cool about this? So on and so forth. It was all a long time ago, some 5-6 years back, but I still shudder at what I was making the both of us go through.<BR/><BR/>I finally quit at a meditation session, of all things. Let her go, metaphorically speaking.<BR/><BR/>But well, I guess this is what builds character in a way.Dr. Gonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593056958061152496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19888999.post-84097149908987550552009-01-29T21:21:00.000-08:002009-01-29T21:21:00.000-08:00Prakriti:I did ask, and no, I don't think it's che...<B>Prakriti:</B><BR/>I did ask, and no, I don't think it's cheesy (not that what I think should matter).<BR/><BR/>So wait, important question: Did <B>YOU</B> call it quits?<BR/><BR/>If yes, then your explanation <I>still</I> doesn't make sense to me.

I hated myself for dialling the number, hated that I am putting the both of us through this (wasn't delusional at all, I don't bullshit myself much), but there was this irrational hope. Perhaps I could explain it better to her this time around. Perhaps she would be more amenable to my explanation this time around. So on, so forth.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, my ex was a darling, and took all of it (we're friends now) coz well, I was just too much in pain, and she didn't want to appear rude.<BR/><BR/>Gawd, that sounds cheesy.
