Lestat,
I read that e-mail differently than most.
Absolutely though don't respond.!!!
But to the point, I think she is worried that maybe you did have a good time, and that was just a roundabout way of getting you to tell her what happened. She may be feeling some jealousy, and the longer you go without communicating with her, the more she is going to wonder who you might be out with. At least to me it explains the contradictions in her post.
That's exactly how I see it as well!
Brian I understand where you're coming from, but you have to realize that you cared about her deeply, loved her deeply, and wanted to make it work out, so of course you're giving her the benefit of the doubt. However, you are not seeing it from our perspective as your heart is telling you one thing while your mind is telling you another. Right now your heart is still badly hurt and winning out, thus, you are rationalizing it however you possibly can so as to "make it work out".
What you have to realize is that SHE dumped YOU! It is time for YOU to be selfish bro. It is NOT about what she wants because quite frankly, she did what she wanted by dumping you. She made her decision and now it's time for you to be selfish and make yours, regardless of how it will affect her. If she wants to still have you part of her life in someway and remain friends, too bad for her! You have to do what's BEST FOR YOU, and at this point in time severing all ties is what's best. From this point forward is it about what YOU, and ONLY YOU, want. More importantly, it is about what YOU NEED, and that is, you NEED her out of your life.
"Is there a possiblity, that although she doesn't want me as a boyfriend right now, she still cares about me as a person and wants to see me happy, and more importantly, she doesn't want to feel responsible for me hurting and my quality of life affected in the way it has been."
Yes there is that possibility that she still cares about you and wants to see you happy, but I hate to break it to you, she IS responsible for hurting you. If she wants to see you happy she will understand why you are cutting off all ties. That is the only way to reclaim your happiness. She cannot have her cake and eat it too. She dumped you, now she will have to deal with the possibility of losing you as a friend regardless if she still cares about you.
