He gave differing messages to Greg and me.  Did he know that I was sharing them?<\/p>\n<p>It all started when I decided to call him thinking that he was going to be nearby&#8212;thinking that he was going to attend.  Then he said he wasn\\&#8217;t&#8212;he was out with his boys&#8212;commonwealth.  So I wasn\\&#8217;t sure.  It seemed like he was trekking elsewhere&#8212;being a different person.  Maybe I just didn\\&#8217;t vibe with him at that moment, but I almost just&#8230;stomped into the bar feeling sourly abandoned.  I didn\\&#8217;t get what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>Then I couldn\\&#8217;t help but say it aloud.  He\\&#8217;s not coming.  He\\&#8217;s out with Commonwealth.  And then perhaps all the confusion ensued.  I don\\&#8217;t know what\\&#8217;s going on, but I was joking&#8230;unleashed something.  Then it turned into something else.<\/p>\n<p>And eventually, I decided that I couldn\\&#8217;t take it anymore.  And I went home.  Hungry, sad&#8230;and perhaps my displeasure was increasing.<\/p>\n<p>This.  Am I looking for a reason to end it?  My cruel way?  My belly aches with hunger and I desperately want to leave.  But it\\&#8217;s all fake&#8230;and the bad feelings remain with me.<\/p>\n<p>I am struggling not to unleash my usual tirade&#8212;I think that I\\&#8217;ll talk to him.  But who knows how I\\&#8217;ll feel in the morning.  And I certainly don\\&#8217;t want to cry in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I\\&#8217;ll say this:<br \/>\n<i>I am sorry about what happened.  I didn\\&#8217;t mean to overstep boundaries.  I can say that I was joking the entire time, but it\\&#8217;s irrelevant.  But I need to set limits&#8212;I can\\&#8217;t deal with issues like this.  Are you or are you not?  All of this is rooted in me&#8212;I don\\&#8217;t like uncertainty.  I want to find clarity.  Everything in clarity.  I don\\&#8217;t want to hesitate and be afraid anymore.  So I just want to say&#8230;I am in.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was getting more progressively unhappy. I felt abandoned initially. Then guilted. And confused.
