    As I still get over this 7 year break up, it’s been one month of no contact, I am evaluating myself to see if I did everything I could have to make it work. The one thing I ponder where you can maybe help me out is on this. My ex was always late for everything. He was never on time and it drove me nuts. I communicated it to him and nothing changed. We had plans one night for dinner after he went to the gym. He said 7pm so I had a delicious dinner ready then. An hour goes by and nothing, I’m furious at that point, no call no text, nothing. Finally at about 830 I get a call from him. He was at the gym and had pushed himself so hard he almost passed out and he had spent the last hour laying on the ground trying to come to. I was glad he was ok, but because he was late so many times I really had no patience for the time it was really needed. He said he should be over in the next half hour (9pm). I said that would be too late and to just forget it, to go home. Looking back on this was it cold and heartless or did I do the right thing feeling what I felt?

    Sassy,

    I would not describe your response as heartless and cold, rather heartfull and angry. Feelings aren’t something that are right or wrong, they are just feelings. We have them! That’s enough!

    If you want to do something else with your time, you could look into the causes of anger and try to dissolve them. At this point, because it is just ruminating in the past, perhaps letting all of it go would be simple. Excuse or passed out, either way its OK. Angry or compassionate, either way its OK. With odd phone karma in the union, it is perfectly normal to become disturbed by lack of follow through with plans.

    With warmth,
    Matt
