You know what, Toaster? I never said that I handled it well initially. I readily admitted that I was not good with boundaries for most of my life. I know I played a part in the unfolding of the situation; however, I really just wanted to walk away.
No grudges held against you, because I don't feel you know/grasp the whole story. I am quite happy with the situation as it is. I don't care if I will be seen as a bitch. I want this person out of my life, and that's what happened. This did not come out of the blue; there was a year and a half's silence before this, and you have no idea what kind of manipulation this person has ingrained in his personality. This guy would be completely thick to act like this was an "explosion" happening to a "confused person," even if I wasn't clear with my boundaries. Most people get it. This guy never did.
I want no part of it, ever again, and frankly if he's hurt... well, too bad. I took care of myself after ten years of ignoring my own voice in this friendship.
Thanks for being honest, but I just don't have much patience with your post. When it comes down to it, I don't think you actually know me well enough to make the statements you did.
