Sorry for venting, but as I said, last week has been crazy so I'm not in the best shape right now. Is being nice (following the golden rule, generosity, being respectful, thoughtful, etc) even worth it in this dog eat dog world?

I have no idea what is going on with your former crush in her head but when I met my husband, I was serial dating. When he said he wanted to be with me seriously, he forbid me from talking to the guy he knew I was dating. I am afraid I let black and white thinking take over/didn't want to lose him and stopped talking to all of the guys that I had been dating. I didn't handle it with much finesse. I didn't even give much explanation--not answering messages left on my answering machine (this was before cell phones) and not answering my condo door when these men knocked! It didn't feel right but I felt sort of paralyzed. Plus, I think I just liked how my husband could reign me in because I can be so out of control sometimes.

I think I picked him because I liked being bossed around!! I probably needed a therapist way back then. Who knows what is going on in this girls head or what her relationship is like? Funny thing is that I had nothing against the boys that I turned my back on. This might not be about you but I know it still hurts.
Sorry you are struggling.
