I'm even going to do a survey, or part of it at least. I like remembering.

Anyway Arashel posted something in her journal and I commented and its something I have strong feelings about so heres the exchange.

It makes sense now when Chris said, "There is someone out there for you, so many others guys out there so much better than me."I don't mean

I get that from my husband from time to time.
"Why are you with me? You could have done better?"
"Because I love you. No other reason needed."

[azurephoenix]

Yeah! Good, you tell him! :)

It's not just women who say that. Guys say it, too. That's pretty much the run around I got from Jason earlier this year. He not only said it verbally, but his actions said it too. Yeah, he started dating this other girl, even before he ended it with me....if you could say that

It means that they want to break up with you and are trying to be nice about it. It has happened to all of us, dude.

[azurephoenix]

Didnt I say that?

[whateverhorses]

Well, sort of. But you added something about "not giving me a reason so that I can try and fix it", or something. What I meant was: I don't think they want you to try to fix anything. They aren't interested in a fix, they just want to break up, and are trying to be nice about it. I suppose they sometimes don't think that things can be fixed because they haven't thought things through. But I think, more often, they have thought things through, don't see anything that can be fixed, and so end it. And try to be nice about it.

That last quote was me. Sorry.
