    I've done all I could, but it was all a huge waste of time :/

    Well I guess I finally feel alright enough to talk about this, so here it goes. After breaking up with him once already in the summer, I took him back and things were great. He apologized for not being around, started answering my texts after I sent them, and he even made plans to meet me. The plan was that we would both drive half way to Pittsburgh around the end of January once he got on day work again. This was around mid November we started making these plans. I happily agreed, but I told him that I needed to know the exact days for this so I could call off work. He said that he promised that he would let me know.

    Well January came and went and I heard absolutely nothing from him about our trip. He kept making stupid excuses about his schedule changing and I accepted it at first because I wanted to believe in him. When I asked him to let me see it or if I pried into it he wouldn't answer me. This idiot wouldn't answer me for almost a week. That's when I've finally had enough. I've tried literally everything to keep this relationship going and he never put in nearly as much effort into this as I had. I felt so lonely and distant from him, it hit that point where I couldn't even remember why I loved him. So I just ended it. I had to do it through texting (which I never thought I would ever do) and he never responded to it. It's been almost a week now and he still never responded to me.

    I feel like I failed somehow. I tried so hard to keep this relationship alive that I have exhausted all of my energy. I thought he loved and cared for me, but it turns out that died long ago like I thought. I wish he was that person I met nearly a year and a half ago, but he isn't anymore. If you ask me how I feel now, all I could say is that I feel literally nothing. If anything I'm just tired right now, but at least I'm free Sorry it's so long, but thanks for reading this all the way through. I think that's everything though I may have left some stuff out idk.

    He is totally not worth your energy. He obviously does not care for your feelings, and cares even less about you as a person. He sounds like the kind of guy that will try again to get you back at some point when he's bored. I have had this before, and it is very tempting when you like someone so much to give it another go. DON'T. If there is any advice I can give you it's don't waste your precious time with someone like that. You are better than that.

    If I were you, i'd take some time off from the dating scene, consentrate on you, then get back out there when you feel ready. There are many other guys out there that will want to spend their time with you, and will gladly arrange and keep dates with you.

    I wish you the best of luck.

      He's an idiot and you deserve so much better than that. And you know it! There are people out there who will appreciate all the energy you put in, and do the same for you. Be kind to yourself

        You gave it another try and you put in all of your effort. You can now walk away with no "what-if's" or any doubts that you did everything you could. I think you're smart to walk away and just be done. You didn't fail at all, he did. Be proud of yourself for giving it a last go and walking away when you knew it wasn't going to work.
        To those who dream, nothing is ever far away.

          You already know how I feel about it. I still think he's an asshole and if I ever see him around Philly, I don't care...I'll go to jail for assaulting a cop, and if he asked me why I did it, I'd say your name and I bet those charges would get dropped real fast.

          He was a jerk off last time you broke up with him too. He didn't respond to you for weeks.

          Argh. I'm getting all worked up again thinking about it and everything we've talked about. I legit want to punch him.

              He was a dick, you're obviously better off without him and best of all, you know it too. It takes two to tango, and obviously he couldn't feel the beat.

                Yeah I really doubt that he'd ever try to contact me again. He had many opportunities to do so after I told him I was done but hasn't stepped up to the plate. Thank you for your kind words

                      Your situation is so familiar. We want to be with someone. We believe in the person. To the point that we believe in them, too much. Which invariably results in them making excuse after excuse. In my most recent relationship. Her 'excuse', for their excuses(I did travel to see her several times). Even though she never said it outright. Was her OCD. Every single visit, I stayed at a local motel(w/ an outdoor covered pool). But the closest I got to her house was, the driveway. Even though she lives with her elderly parents'. She never wanted me to see the inside of her parents' house.

                      First Visit: September 2016
                      Second Visit: January 2017 (Her birthday)
                      Third Visit: June 2018 (medical conference near her home)

                      John 3:16
                      For God so loved the world. That he gave his only begotten son. For whosoever believeth in him. Shall not perish but have eternal life
                      John 4:12
                      I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

                        It wasn't a huge waste of time. It sounds like you learned a lot about yourself... like how much you're willing to give and what you want in return.

                        Demand more. Get more.

                        After my last LDR, I autopsied the relationship and learned what I did, what the other person did, what unacceptable behavior I accepted, and what I contributed to the outcome. By seeing those things, I am less likely to repeat those behaviors and accept those unacceptable behaviors.

                          Yeah at least that's one good thing. I can tell the difference between a good and a bad relationship now. I've been hanging out with this one guy quite a bit lately, but idk if I want a new relationship yet. I'm gonna need some time to get over this and it really does suck :/

                            You're not under any obligation to be in any relationship unless you want to be, you'll know when's the right time when it hits you. Some people take days, others take months, some take years, it just depends on the person and their unique circumstances. Just take it in your stride and you can't go wrong.

                              I really think you should take time off for yourself.
