Ok, It's official. I'm too short so I've been dumped. [UPDATE 9 Years Later...]

[goldencloud]

heyy! so sorry to hear about that! But good grief, when did 5'11 become classified at short?! I at 5'4(MEAGRE meagre proportions judging from her train of thought) must be absolutely horizontal!

It's a silly reason for ending things, but hey the way i see it, she just just too tall! haha

no but in all seriousness, sometimes people end things for the most bizarre reasons...one friend of mine dumped a guy because his fingers were too 'feminine' looking! another guyfriend of mine got dumped for being too 'needy'...the ABSOLUTE nerve of him for buying her flowers! hey a guy once told me i was too 'girly'...(hmm okay ill just go pop some testerone pills to live up to your expectations!..well im sure that's not what he meant, but u know what i mean!)

but at least she was honest! and yeah there is no point asking her whether she slept with any other guys. what use is there in knowing really? and if the answer you get isnt the one u want, its just injury to insult! hope this helps!

Can't sleep and it's been a long time but felt like posting an update about this story, about a year later on my birthday I sent her a message saying hi. She responded and after a few more messages, she said she felt terrible for saying the words she was about to say and then proceeded to say something to the effect, "I don't think I have room in my life for you anymore". I sent her an email on my birthday a few consecutive years with no response, and I figured she was not interested in further contact. I found out she passed away from a brain tumor in 2012.

 

Strangely, even through all her admissions of things that would normally cause strangers to render judgement on her as being a shallow person, (the height thing), I still consider as having been kind even if her words hurt me, because so many people tend to hide and "ghost" partners when they're done with them instead of having frank conversations about the reasons for ending things.

 

As I write this, with some melancholy in my heart as I think of her, I am reminded of all the wonderful things that have become possible as a result of her ending things with me.

 

I wonder if any of the friends from my original post are still active here, I think only Lishy seems to be around. If you are, I would love to hear from you

Sorry for your loss.

I was totally caught by surprise, I've been re-reading some of my posts from back then and I even mentioned when I was dating her (in another post) that she had just gotten over chemo from a brain tumor. So I'm surprised I was so surprised when I found out, since I must've known on some level that metastasis was likely. To clarify, I found out sometime shortly after, maybe late 2012, it's just one of those topics that I think about once every blue moon and decided to post an update since I've been away from LoveShack for such a long time.
