@najmelliw,
Why do you make it looks like that I was imposing myself on her?
I am the one who cut her out, I did that the only thing she should have done, I did all the work for her.
If I was "pushing", yes may be I tried but because she let me if not encouraged me.
"and she made it sting because the gentle letdowns didn't seem to get across"
Have mercy on me, I did not shot her, I fond of her. So letdowns to get across is our first priority here ! not the pain I have been through, not that someone had loved her that much, not that I love her and although that she wanted me to stay, letting alone her situation with the man she should be committed to, as you say, but you concluded that its all for the sake of the letdown to get across, very enlightening.
Anyway thank you I will take your advise and let it go, I don't know how but Its my mess that I will have to clean.
PS. if it happened and you get to know that your woman told another man that "she knows that he is in love and that she knows who he is in love with and she is asserting on it because it is clear in his eyes". I wish you would take your advice and ask about her body language then before consider it as flirt.
