This woman is absolutely brilliant.

I'm not too sure if I actually broke a heart, but after a few wonderful dates with such a wonderful man, he did nothing wrong. If anything, his treatment of me was exceptional. I realized that I had other priorities that I needed to get taken care of before things got too far and too deep. These had to take precedence over anything else. It wasn't easy to do. I don't like hurting anyone but sometimes the timing is bad for one party and it feels lousy to hurt someone . Guilt for the offender and hurt/anger for the one that's left
behind. But to live a lie and know that right now it has no future, is just like lying to him. I will not string anyone along when I don't have a full committment to give. Just trying to get my ducks in a row. And I'm already on a good roll. Just a while longer and all will be good in my life again.

So, my friend (you know who your are), if you are reading this, I apologize again. The worst part was losing the friendship, laughs and giggles.

Hugs

REALLY??? DO PEOPLE "REALLY" STRUGGLE WITH THIS QUESTION? WOW VAIN

Which question are you referring to? The OP's? I don't think vanity has anything to do with it. If you are decent person, you get no joy out of hurting others. You feel the pain yourself, hence the OP's question.
