I've been communicating for some time now...on a superficial level, with a man with whom I was involved with as a young woman in college. I guess you could say I treated him badly, but, in fact, the man was, and is, very shallow. I don't know why I've felt the need to communicate with him, but yesterday, I sent him a heartfelt letter trying to "make amends" for the bad experience we had together. Since we've communicated for quite some time now, I thought this heartfelt letter would elicit a response that was equally responsive. Instead, it was abrupt, rude and dismissive of my attempt at amends. It leaves me feeling this was "pearls before swine."
I didn't have to do this...write a heartfelt letter. It was actually generous
on my part. Since receiving his curt response, I've deleted him from all my contacts. If I've learned anything from a lifetime of abuse, it is to avoid such.
So...none of you have to respond to this. I'm just ranting!
