surprise, surprise, surprise

well, with all the action i'm getting here, i thought i'd update my three readers on my previously posted event. that would be the event with the fiasco. my god. i'm guessing it was either truth serum or drunkenness, but he has of course not called back since that night. i have maintained the no contact clause that i instated, but jesus h. christ, i am just a lot pissed off at him. i was over it, i was thinking fond but mostly distant thoughts about him, i was starting to date again, i was good. he would pop up in my dreams or thoughts only once or twice a day (instead of the obsessive thinking i was doing a few months ago) and it was wistful thoughts, not i have to have him thoughts like before. well, fuck me running, he's back with a vengeance. not as bad as before, but still. i'm checking email, i'm jumping when the phone rings, i'm just fucking being stupid and juvenile which i always felt around him and i hate that i let him make me feel this way. i am a strong, attractive, assertive, kick ass woman and it makes me sick that a man can make me act this way at the age of 31. just sick. i disapoint myself in regards to this man. i don't know what it is about him but from the first couple of months hanging with him i was hooked. he was like a drug or something. i haven't wanted someone this irrationally since my high school boyfriend. he got completely and totally under my skin and is still there and i'm fucking sick of it. i don't think it's ever going to go away. i swear to god, it feels like it's always going to be there. maybe it's because for the first time in my life i don't have a replacement, or just because he's my drug, but it feels like i'm going to think about him and want him forever. even though he lies, even though he only tells me how he feels one in every 30 conversations, even though he did terrible things to my head when he saw me for the first time in six months and left within hours, i still talked to him and believed him and hoped he would finally do the right thing and treat me with just a little respect and love. ha. ha fucking ha. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me three times, and just take a gun to my head and pull the trigger, baby. it's easier this time to let go than the other two times, but not a lot. and i'm just afraid that he's going to call me or email me or something again in a few months and i'll do it again. i want to talk to him now, and get this shit figured out once and for all. if we can try and do it. which is so goddamn stupid. the thing that drives me the most crazy, and probably the reason why he got to me, is because he is the only guy i've been with that i didn't have to pretend with. not at all. he appreciated my smart-ass comments and slightly bitchy attitude. he made me laugh with his smart-ass shit. he set me on fire in bed. on fucking fire. he was vulnerable, but just enough. not so much that you want to yell at the guy to get some fucking balls, just enough to make me want to know more. he made me feel comfortable and cared for and good when he was with me. and this is why i still want to talk to him. i want that guy to come to me. not the jackass who lied and who can't deal with growing up and his life. i thought all my wishes had come true when he called and said all those things, and then...nothing? really, nothing? not even a forwarded chain mail email? nothing the fuck at all? i don't get it. i just don't get it at all. actually, i do get it. it just makes me really sad for myself, and for him too. and i don't do sad well. sad is not pretty on me and sad seems to turn to anger and cynicism on my as i age and that just sucks. and if anyone comments about how i need to break up my post, you just fuck off and not post anything cause i don't care. see, the anger. oh god the anger and hurt.

    j- what an intense post. I think I should read it a second time before commenting.

    All right, read it a second time.

    see, the anger. oh god the anger and hurt.

    Do I ever...almost in such a way that I felt intrusive by reading it.

    For a moment I will play devils advocate so to speak. From reading your previous post about the 'fiasco' in which you write about his lies and inability to be honest about his emotions, maybe he too is jaded and cynical. Maybe he has experienced pain in such a way that he can't allow himself to express his true feelings about you. In that doing so would compromise his sense of security. I say this because I can relate to that sort of feeling...becoming so lost, unable to share myself with another in a way that eludes to the slightest bit of mental intimacy. I do not, however, advocate this kind of behavior because it's hardly fair to hold someone else responsible for past hurts.

    Done being devils advocate.

    because he's my drug

    I'm certain you've heard the song 'Pill' by Pink. The lyrics describe this feeling in a dramatic, yet true way...'you're just like a pill, supposed to make me better, but you keep making me ill.'
    I've always believed that people can be one of two ways...the first being optimistic in that they can be catalysts to ones personal growth. The other that they can serve as warnings. In either instance the experience can be a learning one at best. (I'm certain you're intelligent enough to know that, please don't take offense.) I suppose what I'm getting at here is that being pragmatic is the best route to take...and I think you've already stated that yourself:

    actually, i do get it.

    At any rate, I hope that you keep your optimism (not necessarily about this particular man), that your heart feels better soon, and that you think of 'cynicism' as merely an interesting word.

    -B-

    PS I know that was a really, really long comment, but you don't have an email link, so what is one to do?

    thanks. that is one of things that frustrate me so much. i have to be strong and hard sometimes to make it through the stresses of my everyday life. the thing i miss about being in love and being loved by someone is knowing that i can let the walls down a little and just relax cause someone's got my back. and i feel like now i have to be harder than normal just to resist falling flat on my face and crumpling like a sand castle. i'll be fine. i always am. i just really wish he would have had the balls to follow through with what he said to me. just to try and see if we can even be together. that's another frustration. i think we'd be great, but i don't even know cause he's never given it a chance. if i had the chance to find out, then it could be over forever or we'd be happy. it's the up in air-ness of it all that drives me totally insane. oh well. i'm going to take a little spin in the convertible and get some wind in my red hair. thank god for sun. and thanks for responding so thoughtfully.
