Do you ever really apologize? Is anything ever your fault? Are you ever wrong? No, Yes, Yes. Please stop until you have something to say that involves you making an action and not you telling me I am feeling some sort of way about something. I really resent being told what I probably think instead of being given the respect of you listening to how i actually do feel. And again, the central problem here.

As I said, we can talk in person, and you are obviously well within your rights to ask me to talk in person, and we can do so tomorrow if you'd like. The sticking point is that I've had things that had to be done, work-wise and otherwise, and on top of that, I am, as you say, immature and cowardly in terms of my relationships with females. But, from what you've been telling me about what you think of me, it sounds as though you either despise me to such an extent that I wouldn't be comfortable continuing this, or you're being unfair to me even in spite of how patient you've been so far, in which case I'd be just as uncomfortable. You'll probably take me saying this as self-pity or manipulation or some such, though. I don't have any way of convincing you otherwise, that this is my attempt to explain my feelings as honestly as possible.

well, for the record, you even dumped yourself. to me this is a demonstration of your inability to share "control" of any situation, or to cooperate with another similar person without feeling inferior (as expressed by your consistently defensive tone). now you are allowing yourself to feel sorry for yourself. I think you lack the humility that you need to see yourself for who you are (the you that I'm attracted to), and that you are entirely too concerned with turning the world around you into something that you think reflects who you fantasize about being with unrealistic consequences. I would still like to talk in person, but you are being a coward, and I will try to understand (yet again). I'm always here for you.
