Actually orb I think her treatment of lestat has been eminently decent. Noit what he wants, just decent.
She left him to read the "why" between the lines, but was otherwise very direct.
Seems pretty classy.
Well.. the "why" part is what burns me a bit.
I don't know if I got into the detail of the breakup.. but basically this is how it went down.
Friday night, she stayed the night, we had sex, it was great. Woke up Saturday morning with her in my arms, we feel back asleep for a bit, she said it felt "so good."
Went to the gym. Good workout. Came home, she made me breakfast, egg white omlett and turkey bacon. Awesome.
Drove up to LA to see a friend of mine and his fiance. She knows them both and likes them, we'd gone on vacations together and spent a lot of quality time togther. On the way up things were great, in LA things were great. We had about an hour to ourselves why my friend was doing family stuff so we went for a walk at the beach and on the Redondo beach Pier.
On the way back she spent a large part of the drive home (it was about 90 minutes) scratching my neck and head. There were definitely "I love yous" exchanged.. we talked about going to a concert later that week.. we talked about a trip in january next year with the couple we have visited that day in LA..
We get all the way home, I'm taking her to her place, its about 10pm. About a mile from home she comments on the thong she was wearing and how she must really love me to wear something so damn uncomfortable (she knows I love them).. I said oh yeah? let me see.... she shows it to me.. a red one.. its hot.
About a MINUTE later she says "can you come in when we get to my house, I wanted to talk to you about something"/..
I say sure.. "what's up?"
she says "lets wait till we get home"
We get to her place, we are in her room.. and she says "There isn't any easy way to say this, but I think we should break up"...
my initial reaction was to be pissed... this hit me out of nowhere and I couldn't believe it.. she starts crying, but it was more like the choking type of crying like she had a huge lump in her through because of guilt. I ask her why of course... she tells me she doesn't like the person she has been in the relationship lately... she's been having some conflicting thoughts.... she feels like she needs to be on her own... she makes the commment about wanting to know what its like to have a bad first date... she gives me the "its not you at all, its me" speach.
I was stone faced. I gave her a quick kiss, told her to call me if she changed her mind. And left.
Shortly after that I pretty much lost it.. we spent the rest of the night talking on the phone.. but like most of our exchanges since then it was me doing 75% of the talking.. and her not saying much of anything except "I would kill to see you smile again" "you are such an amazing person" "i feel so bad for hurting such a good person" "you don't deserve to feel like this" "I can't keep going through this"
The day after she was already talking about how she was hoping we would be friends. And how she hoped that I'd be able to do things with her and her family again one day. This is the day after!! She had obviously long moved on.... but was still playing a part.. acting a certain way.
I was left with feelings of betrayal... and I still got no real reason why she ultimately wasn't happy with me. She can tell me anything. I don't give a fuck, my feeling were hurt far more then they ever could have been, just tell me why you weren't happy.. what was it about me? Even now I would still like to know, not to argue with her about it, but for my own personal benefit.
I'm also pissed that she was the one who told me SHE loved me first... she was the one that wanted to get serious first... then I finally open up, give her my heart.. and she abuses it. She was honestly my best friend and I was hers... I can't imagine that is how best friends treat each other. I know life is difficult at times, and I KNOW that relationships don't always work out.. even with good people who care for each other. I don't know how things should have been handled, but I feel like they could have been handled differently.
I guess I feel lied to and betrayed.. which makes things just even more hard.
