it was an ....... i don't know kind of sigh. the whole thing just makes me feel sad. the letter was about how he's realized he's done all of these things wrong and never let me in and how he's going to see a therapist about his emotional/communication/selfishness issues. it just seems like he keeps inserting himself into my life and i'm not sure if i want him to be there, but i KNOW that at this point it would be a bad choice for us to be together. but i couldn't help but think that this (the letter/driving 1/2 hour to my apt) was sweet.
I agree, go with your gut.....You know what is right. But on the other hand, I can see that it had to bring you a little bit of secret pleasure that he is now the one starting to hurt as you start to heal....since you have been so vulnurable since the break up. MAYBE someday he will have actually figured himself out and it will work out for you guys, but I'd make sure to be very careful about that, and not for a LONG LONG time....Did you talk to him after you got this?
r2 - i did not talk to him.... actually he's been the only one to initiate a conversation since we broke up. amanda -- i completely agree, it's like he sends me an email or does something like this... then i have several days where i can kind of get over it and then he pops back in and it starts again.
Well, what to you seriously think? DEEP down inside....could you see getting back together with him? Meaning, do you ever think the things that broke you two up will ever be resolved? If not, DONT give in..no matter how many times he trys to come strollin by to rip the scab off again....You are a strong girl, I can just tell...I think there are better things out there for you....((hug))
i honestly don't know, r2. i'm not planning to be with him anytime in the near future, just trying to move on day-by-day. i think the things that were problems could definitely be fixed, but i've been told in the past that they'd be fixed/worked on and it never happened. so how am i supposed to know it would ever be different if we would be back together? i can't, and right now i can't justify the potential for me to get hurt in the same way again.
Gosh - you are freakin' amazing. Here you are hurting but able to think logically. Glad the Xboyf realizes what he left - but I agree - I think you should let him fix himself. Maybe you guys will meet again in the future then again maybe by then you will be married to Mr. Looks Like Brad Pitt....

Hmm....so was this a good note or a bad note? How do you feel about it?
I was about to ask if that was a romantic sigh or an exasperated sigh.
I was wondering the same. Sending a hug, whatever it has you feeling.

Trust your gut! It is sweet, but part of me can't help be slightly confused about him choosing to share this with you on V-day. :/

My initial reaction, as an outside observer with minimal information, was 'Geez! Come in or stay out!'
