Well, He and I split up last night. It's been a long time coming, and something that probably should have been done a long time ago.
He has a tendency to get easily irritated, to get snippy when he's frustrated. So do I. He had a rough day yesterday, running erands for people that could have done it themselves, all with things to do himself. I understood, and still do, why that would make a person short. Like I said, I sometimes do that same thing...go off on an innocent bystander because I can't go off on the person that I think really deserves it.
But he came over last night, and I was helping him type something up. We got in a little "back and forth" over wording...how petty is this, people? Anyway, he just completely lost his patience, even though it WAS midnight and I did this for HIM, asking nothing in return, but to help him out with a bad day. But he didn't realize that. I don't want to play the martyr, but the only reason I did it was to help HIM.
I snapped back. I told him, if he didn't appreciate my help, he could do it himself. He doesn't like ulitmatums. Never did. And I think that's why I said it. He left, angry.
I called him this morning, telling him everything he has at my house will be in a bag outside the door, and to slide the key under it. He didn't make an effort to talk about anything. I'm not sure if I wanted him to or not.
Sure, it hurts, but I'm OK. I'll get over it. I'm not bitter toward him, he really IS a great guy, but we weren't great TOGETHER, ya' know? Still, I did feel loved when I was with him, and our time together did me a lot of good. But relationships last only as long as they have to, and our time was up.
Not sure why I posted this...I just wanted to get it out I guess.
