I posted the question because I was confused, and hurting. In the process of writing down the situation I discovered how I really feel about everything, which can be a challenge for me. And even though most people gave me the same advice, they also mentioned things about how they came to their conclusions that just aren't true about my life. All I've been trying to do is get the facts out there. But obviously the facts don't matter. And neither do my feelings.

And I am so sorry that I won't completely cut off ties to someone just because he broke my heart.
