i'm feeling stupid. and upset with myself.
i was disappointed last night. and instead of confronting the person that did it.....i didn't say anything.
i wish i could see things as they are, instead of getting my hopes up.
right now i should still be happier than i've ever been....and instead, i'm feeling insulted over something totally unrelated,
i feel boring, and uninteresting. a bit naive perhaps. and sad.
and a bit angry.
and though i know my feelings are valid.......are they reasonable is the question?

my guy was supposed to drive up tomorrow.......i've driven out to his place about 5 times since he's been up here.
it's a 3 hour drive.
we'd been planning on this for about 2 weeks now.
we got together last weekend, met in the middle pretty much......
and that is the last he mentioned coming up here.......we had a really great time. he said so, i thought so......so why am i forgettable?

we were talking about something last night....and i said "well, we'll have to do that when you come up tomorrow"

and he says, oh, i forgot i was going to. i don't know if i will now.

i feel completely forgettable, he has no obligation to me..........but when you make plans.....even with someone who is just a friend.....and we are considerably more than just friends even if we aren't "attached" to each other, we're still exclusive with each other. it's confusing......but
you don't just "forget"

so now i'm disapppointed, hurt.
and feel very boring. not even interesting enough to hold his attention. *frown*
this shouldn't have me so upset when so much is going good in my life.

i just feel like there is an unequal attraction there possibly and maybe he's just not that into me. i just wish i knew how to bring it up now....after the fact......and what i should say.....and even if i should say anything.,

    Flyn, Flyn, Flyn......you are neither boring nor uninteresting!  Just ask the people here...are we not the very essence of refined taste and good judgment?

    Well, that sounded much more hoity-toity in my head than it looks in writing but you know what I mean.

    Maybe he's just a jerk.  Sorry if that upsets you Sweetie.  Maybe he's tired?
    Maybe he's just very comfortable in the relationship.  You know how men can be.
    Say something to him...ya got nothin' to lose, right?


  • Fallyn said on Dec 22, 2007....
    that is all true. *grin* and i am ANYTHING but uninteresting. :P
  • Fallyn said on Dec 22, 2007....
    i'm talking to him now and he says, well, i should have come up yesterday through today...and it's like.....well, then you shouldn't have forgotten. HMMMPH.

    The ups and downs never stop in any relationship.  I think maybe people have to learn to take the good with the bad, or maybe be like me and mine--just get too old to care about the bad, and just hang on with a memory of the good as a bouy in the sea of life...ha...  Hope you guys get together and talk alot and have fun!
     
    And Merry Christmas!
     
    Love, wombie

    I'm sorry you didn't get to spend time with you guy.  I can only imagine your disappointment. Hope it's all better now.((hug))

    you are not boring fallyn! now get that thought right outa your head! it's very hard to have a long distance relationship. and you're just beginning to put this one back together. he may not be in the same place you are yet. he may not have even decided where he wants this to go. maybe you're just letting your expectations and desires run away with you?
  • D6fer said on Dec 23, 2007....
    I am not sure how to respond....not enough info about your relationship in general.
    How long have you been dating?
    Are you intimate?

    I think that many women today let the sex come before love (yes I said women) and it creates a problem for them down the road.

    His reaction was a red flag for me and made me think of this.....please don't take it the wrong way....I don't want to offend.
  • crybabylu said on Dec 23, 2007....

    the thoughr occurred to me (not jumping to wrong conclusions here), that there is another change that is going to occur in your life real soon.  Kids. No, I'm not making a big thing of that, since he has been involved with you back when you had the kids.

    But, maybe he wasn't sure if personal plans had changed because he might have thought you'd be busy prepaing for their return, or whatever.  I think he just didn't take the time to explain his entire line of thought, and grabbed for the first word that popped into his mind.

  • quietone said on Dec 23, 2007....
    I am kinda barging in here..but I would say to myself...don't sweat the small stuff.  If there is no "commitment" then let it go.  This is only one day in a life of many.
  • skald said on Dec 23, 2007....
    I would feel very disappointed too. I would try to get this in the clear. No you are not uninteresting or boring. The thing lies with him somewhere. Maybe he was afraid to tell you and said he forgot.

    Things like this are really heartbreaking. They kind of make our self esteem smaller.
    But as I said it is the other person not us. I have learned that by now.

    You're getting hysterical again...
  • Fallyn said on Dec 23, 2007....
    D6. we've been dating for a year.
    yes, we are intimate......and much too soon.
    it's like...once you've gone there, you can't really go back, you know?

    we ended up in bed together the first time we met.
    at the time it didn't seem like a mistake. but now...looking back......there were a lot of steps inbetween that got skipped.

    but that is what it is now.....so...*shrug*
    this is only the second relationship i've had....and the last one was extremely psychologically abusive.....so i'm lacking a lot of experience
  • Fallyn said on Dec 23, 2007....
    dee, he plain and simple forgot. he gets distracted easily. and he's not as obsessive as me. *grin* i tend to obsess over people.

    shelter, thankyou for the heads up.
  • crybabylu said on Dec 23, 2007....
    Okay, I 'm glad it was a simple thing.   Did you know, by the way, that Sunshine threw you a party?
  • Fallyn said on Dec 23, 2007....
    dee, no i didn't! how did i miss that!!!

  • lfbno7 said on Dec 23, 2007....
    That's so funny that Shelter Crow tells you that you are getting hysterical again, and you agree. That's cute. Does the guy hate to make long drives? Maybe you spoiled him by always driving out to him. It's so much easier to sit home and wait for someone to show up than to get in your car and drive for three hours. Does he get sleepy on long drives?
  • Fallyn said on Dec 24, 2007....
    he's on a different work schedule now than he used to be.
  • D6fer said on Dec 24, 2007....
    No....you can't turn back once you've gone down that road....but you can stop if you need to....make sure that he is in the relationship for the right reasons...know what I mean?

Ugh, I have no idea what just happened and I'm worried about it. Some background on this first. I sent an email to my mean bad friend a month ago to ask him if he was going to play this game he had mentioned to me awhile ago. Also this week I've been...
It has been five days since I've spoken with Jack, and six days since I've seen him. I went into Wal-Mart this afternoon to pick up a few things, hoping I might just run into him. I kind of played the scene in my head - "How have you been," asks Jack. In...
