The Story

Oh boy do I have a story for ya... I am just gonna start from the beginning. My first love and I got engaged and 2 weeks after she got hit by a drunk driver out of state, and I flew from California to Michigan to spend her last few hours with her. She died in my arms. Now skipping a few years. A year and a half ago, I reconnected with a girl, Katie, that I met so long ago. We hit things off great, and we were moving a bit fast. But, knew our love for eachother. I finally decided to ask her to marry me last summer. (At the time she was out of state - Residing in Arkansas) All of the sudden, she stopped talking to me, no emails, no calls, no visits. We saw eachother twice a month. She'd come out here, and I'd go out there... once a month. Anyway, Month and a half pass and all of the sudden she's acting as though nothing happened. I freaked out and told her we're done. How can you trust someone who bails on you for so long? Her excuse was her phone was turned off due to nonpayment. Okay, her best friend has the same provider we both did. UNLIMITED FREE MINUTES... her response to that was... "No, babe, that is just rude!" I'm sorry, If I told my best friend I need your phone out of COUNTRY he/she would give it to me without a blink knowing the purpose is to let my girlfriend know I'm okay and alive. Anyway, fast forward... I get with another girl... OUT OF STATE... thinking this is what I want, subconciously I was attempting to forget Katie. So, now I'm with Melissah, whose in New York, and realized I was in the wrong. So, Melissah and I broke up just before Xmas knowing that this is not what either of us want. We are still friends and all, and are talking. So, Xmas day, I was very depressed and went into one of my attacks. I tried to end my life that morning, and almost succeeded. Then, I decided that I would give Katie another chance. But, was still batteling this war in my head... do I don't I???? Who knows... so I spoke with my closest of kin... and they told me just follow my heart... But, it's so broken up... shattered.. and unsure what it wants at this point. I decide to wait. Here comes New Years Eve... All of the sudden out of NO WHERE! I get a voicemail on my cell phone from Katie saying "Hey... Uhh... i just wanted to let you know that I am engaged to my ex before you and we are going to get married in the spring. I would like for you to attend!"

I thought... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HEAD SPINNING, I'M LOSING MY MIND... YOU'VE GOTTA BE FREAKIN JOKING ME HERE...

So, then, I just throw my phone and lit a cigarrette... Thought about what occurred for about 4 days, then, called her. I told her this is not what she wants, and she's just settling. She admit that is true and that because she can't have me she wants to do this. I told her she could have me but, needs to prove herself and her love, and now it's going to take much longer for us to get engaged. She agreed. She broke things off with Mark, but, I felt she took to long b/c she was supposed to call me that Saturday with an answer, and did not for 2 weeks.
She broke things off with Mark, and tells me it's all about me and her now... I told her I no longer wanted her in my life, and I just can't trust her.

Trust, Honesty, and Communication are the key things in my relationships... If I don't have those... then, I'm not likely to stay with you. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy. I'm not like the boys today. Meet me, You'll see...

GREAT NEWS IS... I've completely moved on and am happy again from Katie and all my ex's. I'm actually very happy and moving forward with my life. Just got a raise at work, going back to school for my MBA, and moving out to Laguna Niguel.

If anyone would like to talk to me, please don't hesitate for a SECOND! My door is always open to all and I love listening to people, and try to help out!!!
