To The Guy Who Apologized A Thousand Times, Your Words Are Meaningless Now, And I'm Done Trying To Figure You Out

You need to grow up and deal with those emotions instead of projecting them onto me.

I don't think you understand just how perplexing you are. Or maybe you do, and you just can't help it. I refuse to believe that you'd put me through this on purpose because the lack of balance between your actions and your words is by the far the worst manipulative power play you could have pulled. You never seemed like that person, but maybe hurt changes us all in ways we don't exactly realize.

You've become this narcissistic, cold, and controlling person who only accepts situations on their terms. It's as if you're so blinded by what you want, you can't see what I need for my mere sanity. You can't put other people before yourself and you've always claimed to care about me more than anyone else in my life, yet your actions negate all those words.

But I'm done believing your baseless words. Your actions prove what kind of person you are, and you're just a confused little boy. You don't know what you need, you lash out in ways that are honestly pathetic and desperate. You push all the good in your life away and then cry about why "life is always out to get you." You can never look to yourself and face the decisions that brought you to that point.

This isn't to say you're a bad person, you just aren't aware of your actions or the consequences of your actions and no one has told you that you need to grow up and deal with those emotions instead of projecting them onto me.

I'm done. I'm finished with justifying your childish and toxic behavior. I'm done with you pulling me in, then pushing me away. Your mixed signals aren't worth my time or energy. Being drunk, or controlled by your emotions isn't a justification either because you never gave me that courtesy.

It's not fair that I spend time trying to make sense of your actions and words trying to get a sense of you. Because honestly, I have to figure out myself. My life, my goals, and what I need from people. I don't need to be worried about your words and actions and how they never balance out.

Actions will always speak louder than words. You can promise me things, you can apologize a hundred times over, you can proclaim whatever it is your heart desires but you can't just be all talk. If you can't back up your words, no one will ever trust you.

And I'm done with you flipping every problem onto me, for once I'd love for you to take responsibility for your poor decisions. I'm done protecting your feelings at my expense, especially if you can't do the same for me.

I'm not here to fix you.

I'm not here to mother you.

And I sure as hell am not here to put up with your bullshit.

So this is me officially telling you that I'm done. I'm done trying to solve a never-ending puzzle of "why would he say this?" and "why would do that?" I'm done having questions that I'll never get a full answer to and I'm done dealing with the meaningless apologies. I'm done trying to figure you out, because it just doesn't make sense anymore, nor is it worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
