Dear Anita
I initiated the break up of few reasons
1. I was going to another country and he said before , that he can’t wait “ everything or nothing”
2. My parents pressured on me , telling me how much disappointment it was for me to start a reletionship with him
So when I wrote him, that “I think we need to stop our relationship right now “ he answered really angry. Without any signs of understanding and saying that it was my fault , that we end like this . Because I knew that I will go away eventually , so we couldn’t be together in one country.
But for me it was different. He wrote me first , abd after some texting I told him that I am studying abroad. So he knew it from the beginning.
I tried to stay as neutral as possible because of it. But as soon as we met it all eskalated into a relationship pretty quickly.
so basically he was saying me , that I deserve this kind of situation, because i was the one who used him , came from another country and then went back.
tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita,
We have pretty similar views on world structure and the sense of it all. Which I find very important in a relationship with anyone.
And the second similarity was how he acted. If you have siblings, you probably know this feeling , when you have been raised in one system and field , you have pretty similar thought flow. And so because of it your reactions on something that’s happening are the same. They don’t need to be always the same , but your attention to some things are lead in the same time. I had the same with him. Though we didn’t see each other for years.
yes, when phrase it like not cautious it takes a negative meaning. But for me, this incautiousness was something positive. Because he made me break my walls.
tidalwaveParticipantWell, you are right. He was not cautious with me at all. Not cautious seems like a negative open from your perspective. But it wasn’t not negative at all.
Not only this made the experience with him special. I feel like he was just really similar to me, though we didn’t met before.
tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita,
#1
I have few close friends, with who we can speak very open. But I think with most of there is this wall , that held from showing our vulnerability. So I felt, like they were not saying all the details. But when he was talking , I didn’t see that wall. He was extremely open about his problems, telling me really personal stuff. He was like an open book. And I am different. When I talk with others, I try to have everything in control. I am honest too, but I don’t say everything whats on my mind. And I find it actually not bad, but sometimes it becomes hard to express myself. And because I didn’t feel any opposing strength from his side, I tried to be with him as open as possible. But it was really hard for me. I told him my deepest thoughts . And went from feeling numb to naked.

By “following my beliefs is more important to me, than making friends”- i mean, that If I am in a place, where people have other values in life than me, I can stand by myself too. For values I mean what they are doing in life, what friendship means for them , how they build relationships etc etc. Because I was in this situations too many times. I can say that I often felt like a black sheep. I am not saying that I was bullied or something. I am not influenced my others views on my views. I just was always different.
tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita
I have loneliness’ issue in my life. Growing up, I never tried to be socially acceptable, because following my beliefs is more important to me, than making friends. I always been different and I never have been scared of showing it. But it was hard for me always to build strong relationships. Its not a problem for me to meet new people,but it is when it is about making friends. I have few friends. But somehow it was really rare for me to become friends with people who interest me. With time it became much better, so I can’t say that I am struggling now with this issue.
But I agree with you about you saying , that I had unfulfilled desire in me – love. Namely, mutual love to person , who is exciting and intelligent. And it was my first relationship , when it was mutual sympathy. Earlier I had crushes on guys, guys had crushes on me, but it never have been mutual . And I believe that only mutual feelings can make a relationship strong…
So when I met him and realized that we both like each other, I got pretty excited. It was an amazing feeling.
It would be a lie, If I said this relationship didn’t have a motive of my selfish desire to experience love. I was really curious how it works.
My life is not simple just like everybody’s. Not more not less. But everyday I try as everyone does. Feeling responsible for his good and thinking about his life now I see more as a care about an old friend. Because he was so open to me about his situation and problems, I developed strong empathy to him and care. At least this is how I see it.
tidalwaveParticipantNow I understand that our realities just don’t fit. I am a dreamer and I guess that’s why I didn’t want to give up, because I believe,that,if you find somebody you really like, it may be your chance in a million.
I realize how much energy and time I have put into this Dream. It’s never been a day I have forgotten about what happened. It feels like it was just yesterday, this much I am in it . I remember every detail of the day we met and the day when everything went down. Purely Obsessed. This whole year I’ve tried to runaway from this and put my whole focus on things, that are important for my reality, but never succeeded. It’s placed in the back of my mind.Fully aware of its existence , but brought it to reality only in speaking with my few friends about it and social media. My family haven’t notice this. I am good at hiding this all.
The urge to write him because of his parents comes from the from the thoughts that he may be really alone and can do something bad to himself, that he is desperate and lonely. And because I know his situation I feel responsible for his good.
Its scary how much effort and energy one can put into something that is just an illusion and a feeling. This year was hard by itself but these thoughts were only ruining me. I lived in the reality I’ve made. I spent this year in a new place, I’ve made few friends. But out “love” brought me to some dark places and moments. My mood was always so unstable. It was hard to be honest with others, to start trusting.
I agree with you .He is not in my reality, which I am experiencing now. I want to break free from it…

tidalwaveParticipantI can agree with you. It is an obsession. But we had reality when we were together these few days and weeks of writing.
And I know why. He has characteristics which are perfect to me. I never met a guy like him.
What should I do then? Because obviously, it is not healthy at all.
tidalwaveParticipantI’m doubting it.
Because at one moment I just realized how strange it all was. My behavior . I never tried to look from his perspective . I had feelings going on and didn’t really express them at all. I never said how I love him. Only once I said that I really liked him after he asked me to do so, because as I wrote before , when I met him I had this numb feeling.
Right now I get why he could be so direct and sometimes harsh with his words. Because he jut didn’t know what was going on in my head . Oh I course I knew that I loved him, I knew that I’m neither using him nor trying to play with his feelings. But I didn’t say that . And now he probably has moved on because he thought “ this girl was weird “ .
This is why I feel like when I’ll try to write him he will not be happy .
tidalwaveParticipantYes, due to sickness.
That’s why I can’t just erase him from my life. It just doesn’t feel right.
though i am thinking. If he does still have something for me, and he will acknowledge that, what next?
I am giving so much value to this . But I don’t know whether it is that important in my life at all. I mean, it is, but should it be?
But , as I said, I’ve been trying and trying to do something with myself, nothing really works. I just can’t forget.- This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by tidalwave.
tidalwaveParticipantHis life was full of struggles. His family moved into another town. His parents got very sick. He needed to work hard in house building. After we broke up , his parents passed away.
That was the reason i wrote him after long time of nothing.
tidalwaveParticipantYou know what hit me just now – he has the whole right to doubt me too. He knows me as little as I do him. Looking from this perspective explains some things… When we texted after we broke up , he was really mad. Now I totally get why . He said ” It seems like you just came here, was with me for some time and then went away. Like you used me. You deserve this. ”
That what hit me straight.
I hate it. I didn’t think about it earlier. That he sees me completely different. How strange I was acting , when I couldn’t speak and all that stuff… Wow.

tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita,
I actually think it could be different. If I didn’t tell my family. I didn’t tell them to the moment, when I couldn’t hide it anymore. It was when I came back home too late and was put on a interview – where were you, with whom did you go etc etc. And so I’ve told them. I regret it.
I never lied to them , even when the things got pretty tough, eg when I said that I am an atheist, and my parents are really religious and conservative. I always tried to be myself, to not hide what I am and what I believe.
Therefore , standing for my choices wasn’t a big thing for me. And so it was in this situation. I just said how it is, though i hid it for months. And I think it might scared him pretty much. Knowing that my strict dad doesn’t want him.Stupid from my side?
I messed up. I feel like maybe I hurt him too much.
He thought he has found something nice in his hard life. A person, who will always be by his side . And it turned out to be as ordinary as always. Nothing special . We were so close to start something beautiful, but it was cut.
I guess, I can’t always be honest with everyone.
tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita ,
I am almost ready to write him.
Lastly.I think about the consequences. First of all , my parents. Now, that I am older, I am almost independent from them. But making them sad makes me feel bad . Being with him is what my parents don’t want. But I can’t do always what my parents approve , now when I’m grown up.
of course , there are other things I do , what my parents wouldn’t . So I guess, this is just how life works – you can’t make everyone,including your nearest one , happy wth your actions. Their dissaprovence they build on a thought, that genes play the main role in this situation . They mean by that, that if his parents did bad to them , he will probably be the same towards me. With what i can’t agree. Of course, you do be partly like your parents. But , then , you are a whole new individual .
What do you think?
The second thing is , how do I deal with break ups makes me fear. Though it seems to me that it was truly love at least from my side, I fear , that he is almost over it . And when I will write him, he will just laugh at my weakness . Because it is a weakness. When we broke up he hit me with words , which were chosen really accurate to make me feel bad.
But at the same time , i know everyone is flawed , me, you, him. I don’t want a prince on a white horse , I am prepared to be open and to take person the way he is. But only if he understands his mistakes . And he did act this way after. He apologized every time he said something harsh.
It happens, right ?
I feel like a little child, who needs guidance . But at the end , my true feelings and motives will make me do the action. But having your advice is helping me to deal with it.
Thanks.
tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita,
Your are right. The fact that I don’t know the truth , the information i need, keeps me wandering in dark. And I want to know it more than anything, honestly. Months i am thinking about it. But it seems like its only me who’s struggling. And that’s killing me.
And I really can’t say, whether he really loved me. I just had this trust that came from nowhere. It just felt natural, being with him and trusting.
How can I know that he will be honest with me this time? Because I don’t have this natural trust anymore. I am just guessing, wondering.
But somehow i feel like he could be doing the same. We are really similar , the way we think . Maybe that’s why he is not writing me. Because of this confusing mind flow.
But I still want to talk to him . Though i know we cant restore our relationship, because there is no real life communication going there. We are far away. And the only way is the online.

tidalwaveParticipantDear Anita
I feel like the only way i could really break the cycle would be if I will meet him again. Because what I’ve found out , that it’s so easy to be misunderstood via texting. Or even manipulated. That’s why i don’t want to write him . I don’t trust anymore . But then again, if it is the possible way to break the cycle …
on the other hand , my pride is what really stops me . I’m not used to write man first all the time . Just in case if I Was just one if his flings ,
