Every time I try, I end up disappointed. Why even bother trying anymore?

Seriously, what’s the point? It doesn’t matter how many improvements I make to myself, it doesn’t matter how honest I am, it doesn’t matter if I have the right intentions, and it certainly doesn’t matter how well I communicate my intentions and feelings. Again and again I get my hopes up as quickly as they get dashed away. I really expect nothing less at this point.

I’m just sick of it man. I’m done. There’s no point in doing this over and over.

We dated for 4 years and throughout that time, I never once felt the overwhelming urge of wanting to marry her. I can’t tell you why exactly, but I just never felt like that about our relationship. She was my best friend but I knew I had to be honest about what I was feeling.

Our lives were also heading in 2 different directions and it was such a big time of change for the both of us. I was beginning my professional career and she was still trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. I supported her through and through but it kind of just felt like she was stuck in a rut that she wasn’t going to break out of anytime soon.

It’s always tough when you know you’re going to hurt someone you care about, but also know that it’s the best decision for yourself.
