Everytime I read/hear shit like that I think of a certain girl and feel really bad/get pissed off. Guess she knew she could not handle a binding relationship with a "good guy", so she cut me loose, yet I know she won't take a vow of celibacy. Sooner or later she'll be out there, fucking other guys. I respect her for the honesty and the kind gesture, but it still frustrates me beyond words that we never got a chance to even try. I just know that if I had come to her like a whore instead she would have taken me for the fucking, I hate knowing that.
OPer. It's heartache either way. If you don't try you'll always think: what if. Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, I suppose.
