Sour grapes- I do not have them.

So the great gentleman boyfriend broke up with me.

Over the phone. VIA A TEXT MESSAGE.

Sometimes when the problem is them and not you, as is the case here, it's harder, as at least we can look to change ourselves. Wow, given the nature of my last post perhaps I should consider a career in fortune cookie writing! *lol*

You are indeed wise, oh Master Freak. <3

Breaking up over the phone is very cowardly. You can hang up at any stage, you don't have to look them in the eye - it's better than by email or text which is completely impersonal but only barely an improvement. So bad move there for him.

But I commend you for keeping your cool - it makes him look worse and any excuse that you were "crazy" will hardly seem justified. I mean, if you really were the kind to freak someone out, surely this blog would make a lot less sense and just be filled with expletives! ;P

The worst part is wondering what you did wrong - it's hard not to, but don't. He obviously had the issues (no warning signs and suddenly that's it?) and it's better to have broken it off sooner rather than later. I mean, would you really have thought of him such a gentleman if you'd found out that he'd been dragging things on for months while he two-timed you with his ex? And, like you said, it leaves you free to do as you please come May. Well done, girl. A guy like that is just not worth it.

Actually it WAS via text, I didn't really make that clear.

I didn't do anything wrong though, that's the crazy thing- I literally can't think of anything. Which leads me to conclude that...I didn't.

And I think he did have the other girl for a while there. Last time I went over I came out of the bathroom and said 'you have scented candles, I didn't notice those last time! And he looked kind of panicked and confused. Now I think back, she probably left them there. Hilarious.

Ooh, what a jerk. Makes me think of that Hugh Grant character in Bridget Jones' Diary hiding a girl in the bathroom. Because that's basically what those candles were. Ouch. I'm cross and I've never even met the guy! ;/

ILOVEYOU.

"I smell someone with commitment and reality-check problems."

I think so too- it was just bizarre how affectionate and keen he was, then all of a sudden I'm a freak. He even talked about having a threesome 'down the road when you're more comfortable', and that was on our first date. To me that just screamed 'Im happy to do this for a long time.'

I think it's either that I was too awesome and he pushed me away, or someone he'd had his eye on really had come back in sight. Either way- doesn't seem to be much of a loss.
