Yeah i had no intention of actually contacting her, just wanted to vent a bit i guess. I know i am not at acceptance yet, i have accepted that there is nothing i can do anymore to get through to her but i have not completely accepted that there is no hope.


Yeah I hear that. Though I think that, and we've discussed this before, you will be amazed at dating someone more mature will do for you in the future. I think I've told you that I dated a 19 year-old right before I met my wife. I was 27. Dating the 19 year-old, while exciting, was like raising a child! She was making the same mistakes I made at that age, and didn't want to hear about my wisdom related to those mistakes. We dated a few months, and then she finally flaked completely on me. I was disappointed at first, but then I met my W, who is just over a year older than me. And dating someone my age felt so much better. (I had a history of dating younger women. I was like Matthew Mcconaughey in Dazed and Confused, "I get another year older, they stay the same age!" LOL) I am on record as saying that throughout my early and mid-20s I looked for the wrong things. I was looking for someone that I was completely infatuated with. I think is some ways I did the same with my W, but at least she was in the same age category as me.

I say all that long-winded mumbo jumbo to say that if you end up dating someone new that is in their late 20s, or early 30s I think you will see that it is night and day with what you've dealt with the last 6 years. I don't think you probably even realized it while going through it.
