I realize, after reading through many threads here, that my story probably isn't tremendously unique.

 

Last winter, I met a girl and we became very close. Both pre med students, we were very busy people, facing many demands. I loved spending time with her and thought I was the luckiest guy in the world. I felt that she just "got" me. I felt like we could talk about anything. However, only two months into the relationship, I made a series of decisions, with the hope that they would lead to her to actually dumping me. I felt overwhelmed with both her and school in my life.

 

That was nearly half of a year ago, and not one day goes by when I don't think about her. Most people who would have been in my shoes would have regretted ever meeting her, but I feel blessed that from the experiences I had with her, I can only be a better boyfriend the next time.

 

Has anybody else done what I did? I feel so much guilt basically forcing her to believe I'm somebody I'm not just because I didn't want to dump her.

Huh? Why Didn't you just man up and have the decency to just tell her that you didn't want to be with her, instead of going through all the trouble?

This sounds awfully like the plot of "Scrubs". Seriously though man wtf? Grow a pair and dump her. This post bothers me. I was broken up with in a really ****ty way, with no real reason given to me. To know that there are people out there so insecure that do this is really disturbing. You don't deserve her.

Why would you do that to your poor girl? Gosh, just because you're a coward doesn't mean you have to make her feel like it was all her fault, with her left asking all those 'why?' questions to thin air.

 

I thought my ex was bad. I just met someone worse.

All three of use who have posted so far have NOT 'done what you have done', nor will we, because we're all on the receiving end of s.h.i.t and wouldn't dream of putting someone else through what we've been through.

 

You know what else bothers me about that post? That you hurt a girl to learn a lesson and now you're going to 'improve for the next girl'. Why wasn't she good enough for that? You used her as a stepping stone, and you deserve your purgatory.
