I feel like a complete idiot.

[Pushed To The Left]

I had something good and I may have really blown it. Something happened that hurt me, and I know it was unintentional, but I felt that I should share it with her because she could tell something was bothering me when I had seen her last. I e-mailed her when I was able to put what was hurting me into words, and now I haven't heard from her since. I am worried that I really screwed up. I had really fallen for her and had never felt that comfortable, open, and accepted like that before. I felt so close to her. Now I think I've driven her away. It doesn't take much for something good to be destroyed. Sometimes, I hate my life.

1. Have you called her?

It could be a simple misunderstanding. Or maybe she is going through something herself right now.

3. Called her when I got home from work and left her a message

I fell for her really hard, and that causes me to be very emotional and do stupid things sometimes.

5. Well, don't be so hard on yourself my friend

If she is the one you want to spend a life with she will be understanding, just might take her some time.

When you truly fall for someone, and they for you, you might hesitate at times on some things but you move beyond that.

I have been with my wife now over 9 years, and we have both taken the bad with a grain of salt - although not always initially. But we loved each other too much to focus on the mistakes.

I don't know enough from your post to comment too much, but I will say 'hold on for one more day' :)

2. IF she's the one, she'll come back

I just had something very similar happen to me. Needless to say, we're done. If it's meant to be, she'll be back. Count on it.

4. I guess that's one way to look at it

If expressing my feelings honestly caused her not to want to ever talk to me again, we probably weren't compatible. She made me feel so accepted, so warm inside. I didn't know her long, but we talked a lot and I felt so close to her. I was jaded going back into the dating world after the end of a bad 7-year relationship a year ago, and I didn't think I would ever fall for somebody that quickly. This is hard.

6. Sound like exactly what I went through

Both of us were in the same spot: coming out of 10+ year marriages and alone for the past year, spent lots of time together. Then I got sick and she decided to go guy shopping.

It's very hard, but if she can't handle your feelings, you're better off without her.

7. how long

since you emailed her?

[Pushed To The Left]

8. Last night/this morning at 3AM

She usually answers her e-mail while she's at work, so when she didn't e-mail I had a feeling something was wrong.

10. if it was as earth-shaking

as it seems, maybe she just needs a little time to process it.

Or maybe she couldn't check her email today.

Or maybe she wants to wait and talk to you in person.

Or maybe -

well - give her some space.

How long have yall been dating?

9. I'll tell you what I told my husband

...before we got married. I can handle anything as long as he was honest with me and didn't lie. I can't handle lies.

I hope she's the same....:hug:

11. She called. We talked for a while. Everything's okay now

I'm so relieved! She said I did the right thing by letting her know my feelings, and we talked for a while. It's still a very new relationship, but I can't believe how emotional I've become. Thanks everybody for your advice and support. :grouphug:

Now go and enjoy the rest of the night and have some beers with us fellow loungers :)
