the right thing? surprised: Okay, we have been more or less broken up since August, though we were talking once or twice a week at first. After a failed reconciliation attempt last month, we haven't spoken in over 4 weeks, one email I sent last week got no response. So today before I left work, I left him (on his desk) some books and a movie he'd left at my house, along with the keys to his apartment and a picture of us from like 10 years ago. I also put a short note in that pretty much said, "I don't want to let go, but I will." I know I probably shouldn't have left him stuff at work, but I wasn't going to chase him down to give him his stuff back. I guess I'm hoping a little that this will get a reaction out of him. Though I don't necessarily expect it to. It was weird, it felt very final, leaving him the keys.
Re: the right thing? ezydriver: In a way, this is a good thing. Symbolically you've let go to a further degree. It shows a higher level of acceptance. Good for you.
Just dont relapse, whatever you do.
Re: the right thing? icwtsmnl: hey!!!!!!! you didn't hold up your end of the deal!! you said you wouldn't email if i didn't text. hmph!!
ok, forgiven. well, he might respond. might not. the one REALLY hard step to take right now is letting go of the hope that he will respond. that's extremely hard. but it will quicken your healing in case he really doesn't respond. hang in there.
Re: the right thing? surprised: Icw, I sent the email a week ago this past Friday. So he's had a week and a half to respond, I left a short note with the stuff I left him. I didn't break our deal. I don't think the note counts, it's not like it's something he has to respond to.
Ezy, I am going to do my best not to relapse. It's hard though, because I think I did it more to show him I will let go if he forces me. You know what I mean? Like the gesture was more for his sake than mine.

There is no closure in this statement...it's a plea: an attempt to one more time tell him how you feel, just like you have how many times before?
I'm truely not trying to be cruel, but that is what I read it to be.
