The Real Deal

the real deal here is can you respect me??? there comes a time when you need to see that NOW you are pretty self absorbed yourself...to the point that it seems that you don't accept that our decisions are painful to me...i don't know how many times i have expressed to you that in my mind... i can accept the way things are...but my heart is in a different place...i am trying to set up a boundary here....i don't enjoy being hurt and i am being hurt when you go on and on in details about your relationship with your new romantic interest....you are so self absorbed that you ignor this boundary....in order for me to protect my heart, I am the one that is telling you I have had enough...It's "your" idea that since "you" think/feel a certain way that I should, too...I am making this as clear as I can...things happened because I didn't act....whatever the reasons....and I am here...you are there...no matter what choices we have made....the bottom line is that I know how I feel...and when we are chatting and you are giving me "details" on your new relationship....I have tears rolling down my cheeks and i have a big lump in my throat....and I can hardly breathe....that's pain...and I can't make it any plainer than this....please...i want to still be friends, but i just can't listen in details of you love life....
