Hey everyone,
Why is it that we people only really seem to update journals when something horrible or really good happens in our lives? I guess I fall into the category quite a bit from the past and the present because this's nowhere near a happy post of mine.
After roughly 2 years of dating and living together myself and my partner just broke up. She felt torn between one of her Ex boyfriends and myself and decided she'd rather spend her time with him than with me so after two nights without her and hearing her refuse to come back and stay with me I decided it was time to break things off.
When I write it like that it sounds easy to do. But from my point of view it's been the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. I've suffered the crushing blow quite a few times and I know how it feels but this was far worse. Telling someone that you love and cherish and wanted to get married to (And was a few months off proposing >.<

that it's all over and knowing that she wouldn't talk with you about what's happening in her head and heart... It cuts deep. I've heard a lot of things said over this past weekend and not only about her. A lot of people think that there shouldn't've been any choice over who to stay with and I agree, I would gladly leave a dying Ex's side to be with my current partner of two years. I'd leave my family's side if they were dying to have been with her... But I guess it's just to show that even though her life was going nowhere and I knew, I tried to help but with the constant bad attitude towards getting out and finding work it was just too depressing to force it on her.
As her lover I just wanted to see her happy. I would've loved if she could have tried a bit harder and approached finding work with a better attitude but I can't make her change that I could only try and support her by helping her look on the odd occassion and telling her that if she wants to go out and put resumes in that I'll take a day off and go with her because she was scared of the confrontation with them.
I'd like to think that she lived a pretty decent life whilst with me. She seemed happy to me the vast majority of the time, we didn't go out too much but when we did we enjoyed it as much as we could (Sure I couldn't go clubbing but you'd find that with the vast majority of people, if you're wanting a steady relationship you put clubbing aside. It's a place heavily used to hook up more than anything and when you're with a partner that can't stand crowds... They understand you love going there to simply dance and they're grateful that you don't because it's a sign that you care and love them.).
I don't think many people would pay $1200 on getting a partner's hair chemically straightenned if they're not working either. Nor buying them a Wii or DS and any games they wanted for them. Virtually all the money I earned during our two years together I dedicated to her because, I knew I couldn't do the one thing which she enjoyed - Clubbing - so I tried to give her other alternatives. A lot of the time, we'd buy something and never really use it again after a month. The Wii was very much so wasted - Sure it got used a fair bit but not in comparison to how much she wanted one. And in those two years, spending over four to 5 thousand dollars on her to buy things to try and occupy her time aswell as mine and things we could do together... I spent (This isn't too hard to sum up for me), Maybe $300 on games, $120 on a guitar, $600 on an amp and throw in the occassional computer upgrade which would've costed about $250... I spent less than the cost of both of her hair straigtennings on myself.
To sum that up, I was quite content in what I had. Good job (High stress though), Beautiful loving and carefull girlfriend, a computer and a guitar. We had our own little unit for most of the time but I was trying to get us out of my parents place... I was living the life and I know she was getting bored, which's why I started trying to get out more even though I HATE going out.
It hurts to feel like her feelings for me could be thrown aside like they have been... And both of us know that my trust in her has been shattered... But to tell EVERYBODY the truth! I still love her nonetheless. I do wish she'd come back to me even after I ended the relationship. She knows the reason why I did it and that was because it hurt me severely knowing that whether or not she comes back to me depended on if her Ex dies today/tomorrow or not. And for 2 years of being together to turn around and be pushed aside within 2-4 days... If she does realise she still loves me, I hope this time she works towards showing it a bit better. I know and I feel like I've laid my arse on the line for her - If she's in trouble I'd rush home from work and on numerous times nearly lost my job for it. It's things like that which I never bothered to tell her about because to be honest, the job's important to me but there're certain people that mean far more than money to me. And she's one of them.
I would love to take her back if she said she does love me and truly did apologise for the past few days. It wouldn't be the same but perhaps it could be better. The fact that she may run off on me again later in life IS in my head but I hope that she may just grow up enough within this current time to realise a few important things about life. Namely, if you love someone, there's nothing you can't talk to them about. She new that I had doubts of our relationship last friday but from a person who beleives his gut, and nailed it head on again... I think she can now understand just WHY I had doubts. Nobody should have to be dropped for someones Ex simply because they play a terminal illness card in life. I'd've been fine if she just went to wish him luck with the operation but from what I heard and my interpretation of it, he's not having any surgury at all.
An operation on your head should not be coupled with drinking only a few nights beforehand. Let alone, you shouldn't be able to tolerate drinking a few nights beforehand. Bleeding from the eyes, nose and mouth when you wake up would generally leave you dead long before an ambulance could get to you too and some of the other stories that were told were even more rediculous than that. For Bopha's sake I really hope that he's not lying to her. I don't want to know that she's been crushed by both myself and him. He better take good fucking care of her too since it seemed like he tried ever-so hard to break her away from me even after he knew we were dating. Either that or he could be genuinely truthful and is having surgury and whatnot in which case, I'm glad that Bopha wasn't played.
I must call on one big favor from all of her friends that I know out there, those that aren't on dA and those that are. If you read this please take my apology from the both of us. If we've said anything to offend our close friends we're sorry. But right now I beleive she needs friends far more than I do even after knowing what pain and heartache I'm in right now. She's been cast aside by her lover, might be left out on the street if this Ex isn't having surgury or even if he is. She's got no income and no money unless he's given her some. All I've done is what I could do and gave her my Monthly 5 zone bus ticket so she can atleast get around if he doesn't give her money. It's got 2 weeks left on it so I hope something will sort itself out for her before it runs out. And if you speak to her or see her... Tell her I say thank you, she's been the best thing in my life for 2 years and I'll never forget her for that.
Now I must go on my own little journey to find out where my home is sadly. I'll more than likely be jumping about houses a lot as I can't stand to be in one spot too long right now. I'll be staying with as many friends as I can and by the looks of it, heading down to sydney to meet our old guild leader from WoW. I just wish she could've accompanied me but with things ending the way they have, I no longer have to save extra to know that we'll be safe and covered no matter what. Atleast if I get stranded down there I can defend myself and live longer with only 1 set of food to buy. It's just sad thinking of how lonely it is doing all the things we used to do together.
Later to those that'll be seeing me, Bye to those that most likely won't.
