I broke things off with Jay last Sunday, the 4th. I don’t know why it’s taken this long to write about it. Probably because I feel guilty. Why, I don’t know. (I tend to feel guilty about EVERYTHING, even things beyond my control) I’m terrible at breaking up with people. I stutter and stumble around my reasons. Reasons, by the way, which make perfectly good sense to me but when I try to articulate them, they end up as one big cluster fuck. I’d been thinking about breaking it off for awhile but I wanted to wait until after the holidays were over because I didn’t want him to have to be alone during that time and because I really wanted to be sure it’s what I wanted to do. Mostly, he just got on my nerves. His laugh, his suspenders, his telling of the same stories over and over again. He’s not a terrible person or anything, he’s just not the person for me. I don’t know if anyone is at this point. The capper was things that he said to me on New Years Day. We were in bed and he whispered to me that he thought about me first thing when he got up in the morning and as the last thing he thinks about before he goes to sleep. A sweet thing to say, no? NO! Not to me because I take all that kind of talk as crap. Pure shite! And it’s not because he didn’t mean it, it’s because I don’t trust me and I sure as shit don’t trust anybody else. I mean really, I told him at the beginning of this “thing” that I didn’t have anything to offer him in terms of a “real” relationship and then he dumps that stuff on me. He never made my heart skip a beat, never made me feel all wonky in the knees, I never even gushed about him here in my diary. But, he was good to me. He was nice and thoughtful, always on time, always did what he said he was going to do. He listened to what I said and he thought I was a sexy bitch...heh. Okay, maybe he didn’t. Maybe it was just the fact that he had spent so many years with somebody that wasn’t sexually interested in him. I don’t know. All I know is that I am alone again, although I was when I was with him because I won’t let myself be anything else. I don’t want to. I’m not ready. I may never be. And, I’m sorry Jay but I gave it a try and it just didn’t work. Oh, and I’m sorry I did it the day before your birthday and you didn’t get “the birthday sex.” |
