Hiya T! 
Hope your week is ending well. I missed you!  
Your silence is puzzling me …hoping you’re okay. Let me know what’s up?  Mwah!

It’s been a week without email from him.  I finally decided to ask him what’s up.  And I get no reply.  *sigh

I try not to get attached.  Not expect much.  I try not to let my feelings get into it.  Just have fun – enjoy when a guy is around and move on when he disappears.  I thought this man would be different.  We seemed so compatible.  He talked to me and wanted to touch me.  He was so polite, so honest, so real and then?  SILENCE.  ARRGH! 

I have so many questions.

How long can a gal write without getting a reply?  
     [I am stopping today, so I guess my answer is “one week.” In retrospect, I wish I had not blathered on so long.  (Makes a note for the future to shut up sooner.)]

You’d think I would be used to it by now,  but I have to say this time it HURTS.  I feel wounded.  I feel like an idiot. 

What could be going on?  Why can’t he tell me?  

How could he so sweet and then just stop?  How can he think that’s okay? 

Did he get caught? 

Did he meet someone else?

Does he think his Yahoo email app is working and he’s been writing and I am not seeing it?   Why can’t he write from his computer at home? 

Was it something I said?  
[Goes back and reads the past month of messages looking for some hint of what went wrong or that he was getting tired of me… nothing.  Do you see anything?]

Did he get in an accident or have a heart attack and is in a coma in the hospital? 
   [Checks online news for accidents in his area with bad outcomes… nothing]

Is he dead?  
  [Checks the obituaries… nothing]

I don’t know if I can do this again.  How can I pour myself into getting to know a guy and making him smile and we have a great time (,not once but twice and we’re planning a third meet) and then… NOTHING????? 

Maybe I should get off Ashley Madison?  Maybe just wait for The Northerner to contact me and be happy with that?  I just don’t know anymore. 

Excuse me… I’m going to go sit on the shelf over there out of harm’s way.

*cries*

    Glad this was a year ago… Because if he didn't write back you will have long since gotten over him! I've been through this, and know how much it hurts. Hugs.

  2. Thank you. I'm so sorry you've experienced it too, but glad to know the pain eased for you. Hope you're still reading when it's time for “the rest of the story!”
