The Story

I met Rob shortly after a breakup from a different relationship that had turned violent. Once I found the strength to leave the abuser, I finally started getting out again. Rob was my hero. He and I started dating and things moved fast...which led me to believe it was all meant to be. Soon we were buying a house together, and life was so wonderful with this loving man. Until one day he came home from work and said "I don't think I love you anymore." I was shocked and devestated. Just the night before he told me he loved me. Just one week prior, he had given me a beautiful bracelet and a birthday card that had I LOVE YOU in big letters on the front. How could he say he didnt love me anymore? He said he had been living in denial or trying to force it to come back. I never saw it coming. We never argued and got along so well. He never gave me any reason to believe this was coming. I thought he must be getting scared at how fast things were moving. He asked me to move out of the house we bought and remodeled to make our own. He actually helped me move into my new place..a trailor in the local trailor court. But inside I still love him. I wanted to badly for him to miss me. He said we could still be friends, so I thought that was better than nothing. We would still get together, stay at my place or his the next night. We were still running around together, shopping together, and still continued a sexual relationship. I thought we were working towards getting back together, afterall, to me it didnt even seem like we broke up. I looked at it as just taking a break from living together. Its been seven months since we split up, and the longest we have gone without speaking to eachother or seeing eachother is three weeks. I had no other reason to think otherwise, until I asked him this past week how he is feeling. I was crushed again when he said he didnt have any feelings for me, we were just good friends. I am so confused. How can someone do the things we did and say there's no feelings? Deep down, I don't believe him. I told him I couldnt just be his friend taking care of his needs until a new woman comes along. He said he never meant to mislead me and now he wont answer my calls. He has no idea just how bad he has hurt me. I feel so sad, and I pray he will miss me enough to come back. It's so hard to let go of a life that I thought was perfect and to let go of a man that was perfect in my eyes.
