writes: I started dating a guy 2 years after my previous long- term relationship ended and after an initial good few months things went downhill and he walked out on me recently, and although nobody actually said the words, I assumed that was the end. He did not tick all the boxes from the start but I was willing to give it a try in an attempt to not be too rigid or uncompromising. He did some things that in my book are deal-breakers, like lying, borrowing money and not repaying it, drunkenness, etc. I don’t understand why I am so upset by this break up. It was probably not right to start with, he behaved badly, but still I jump when the phone rings in case it’s him, I can’t stop thinking about him and have to restrain myself from calling him, keep giving in and calling him and then feeling stupid about it afterwards.. I even thought many times that I would leave him because of the way he treated me, but I didn’t – maybe I’m a coward. Why can’t I put him out of my mind? I should be happy that he’s gone, not looking for reasons to call him or hoping he’ll call me.
