the BreakUp Letter

Austin Blanch | R19 |
23^rd of September 2009 Bhabe,We have only known each other for a short while, but it’s been long enough for me to know you care a lot about me ^[1]. Well, I care a lot about you too, but I think that your expectations towards me are a bit high. Everyone knows that a long distance relationship does not work ^[2]. Since we got all the freedom in the world because we are not in the same campus, we tend to draw our attention to other people ^[3].I’ve given you the consequences this relationship would allot you before we became a couple; I assumed that you have already understood my point of view as to avoid unintentional results ^[4]. Yet here we are. I don’t want you to expect more than what I have been sacrificing in this relationship. I have spent a lot of money just for us to eat at fancy restaurants and see movies at expensive cinemas, which I seldom like. I have allotted most my time just to bring you home safely, whenever you need one; and I even compromised my schedule for you so that we could meet as often as possible. Aren’t you tired of seeing me almost everyday? ^[5] I’ve grown weary of seeing you so often that I have lost the desire to actually meet you. Meeting you once a week is enough but five times a week is more than what I can bear. Less is more in this case.I can’t help to think that your best days and nights of your first year in college was with me! That’s what you need to thank me, for if I hadn’t come into your way, you wouldn’t have this great experience. Please don’t feel guilty at all. For at least I’ve done my part in making someone happy and you got to taste college life the way I live it. ^[6].Let’s not forget that you haven’t been in a serious relationship before, and you even said just last week that your longest was like four months. So are you really serious about any kind of relationship – especially with me?! So it must have been this issue that made me realize that this thing we have won’t really work out ^[7]. I don’t want to hurt you nor do I want myself to get hurt too. So please let’s not push ourselves into something that we can’t agree on. Because every time we talk about this issue, we always end up fighting and raising our voices to each other ^[8]. We have so many issues individually and together as a couple for this reason I think it’s better if we go separate ways and deal with it like matured adults.Stay with me never more. You don’t have to write or call me because I already know what you will say. Save your time, stamps and impulses to someone who could still appreciate you and tolerate you at the same time. It’s better this way, ending everything up in this letter.
