Reply #21: Thanks everybody for your kind words. I'm not feeling too great right now [View All]

I will admit that my e-mail back to her was a little much. I felt like I didn't get a chance to talk to her and that maybe if I had, things would be different. I really lashed out at her, but didn't call her any names. I must have struck a nerve, because she came back with a stinging e-mail where she pretty much attacked all of my vulnerable areas, the things I'm most insecure about. She called me an asshole, said "Fuck you", went on the attack worse than my ex-fiance's e-mail last year. Why do the dumpers feel a need to cause additional pain to the people they dump?

Well, I won't be writing her back. She said she would delete it without reading anyway, just like my ex-fiance. I was pretty vulnerable when I met this one, because I had been going through some very depressed, hopeless feelings. She was sort of a reassuring presence. I still can't believe that somebody who made me feel so warm could be so cold towards me. My e-mail was pretty vicious in some ways, but hers was a lot worse and seemed a little sadistic, like she wanted to really hurt me. Well, she did. I already have been feeling pretty lousy about a lot of things, and she went ahead and stuck the knife in one more time.
