I was recently dating a married man....even though i developed strong feelings for this man...i always knew that it was going nowhere....and I never expected much from him..i do feel like i gave more than what i should...but the point is that we got into an argument and ended things because i said things i shouln't have said and he did something he shouln't have done...

i feel that he's done too much things to me that have emotionally messed me up....and i'am fed up...howeever we ended in bad terms and I wanted to sent him an e-mail to put some closure to this....there is a 14 year difference here..him being older...but i dont want him to see this as an advantage...should i apologize???????????

scrazy agony auntJust keep the ties cut is all I have to say.

The second you contact him, you're going to get yourself sucked back in and feel even worse then you do now. So pick yourself up and move on in life, you're young, you'll be fine.

There's no point of trying to go back when you're going nowhere.

I hope things work out for you.

As long as you are prepared to 'give more than you should' then he will take it. The wanting to apologise is merely an excuse because you still want to see him.

I truly believe that you are worth more than what he is prepared to give you - you are standing in line for a few crumbs of love.

Give yourself a breather, forget about apologising for a week or two and treat yourself. Go out with your friends, do a little retail therapy, get yourself a makeover. Tell yourself that you will only think about it again in a couple of weeks time and then maybe with a little distance you can see him for what he is - a man cheating on his wife, and giving you far less than you deserve.
