Well, he finally contacted me - by email. He wrote this distant sounding email that said that he wanted to focus on his career and not a relationship. He said that he has isolated himself from everyone except people who are work-related. The email was mostly self-absorbed, until the end, when he did say that he didn't mean to cause me emotional pain and that he hopes I find someone who will appreciate my "beautiful qualities". That doesn't quite cut it for me, because he should have at least spoken to me on the phone, or better yet in person. Sending an email is cowardly. And he didn't apologize for completely ignoring me after I had my foot surgery, even though he had told me he would visit me after the surgery. He signed the email with "Sincerely". What the hell is with that??
I wrote back and told him that I understand what he's saying, but that it was wrong to ignore me after my surgery, and overall I was kinder to him than he's been to me. I noted also that we don't have many interests in common. I told him that I hoped he succeeds in his career, doesn't isolate himself so much, and sees a therapist for his emotional troubles.
The whole situation just sucks. The disappointment and hurt of it all. I guess I have some more frogs to go through before I find the prince.
