It started when Lisa broke up with me. Since she left and found someone else (less than a month later!), I have been miserable.
I moved to New York in July 2005. I didn’t know anyone and felt a bit lonely. So I signed up with match.com. I emailed Lisa and we later met for the first in Coney Island. She was cute. I was excited to have someone in my life.
She tried to break up with me a few times, the earliest in Dec 2005. I don’t know why. I fought to keep it together and we still kept at it. Despite that, I was happy. We laughed a lot, were affectionate to each other, and even made love on her Brooklyn rooftop.
She claimed we fought a lot, but I don’t think that was the case. She often made comments that she didn’t want to get married and wanted to spend the rest of her life traveling and not settling down. I felt anxious. I thought she was trying to push me away with subtle and not-so-subtle hints. I tried to do what I could to make things easy for her. I tried to start a business that would make us enough money so she could live abroad and travel. I was so stressed with starting this tutoring business that I was unpleasant to be around. We yelled and fought, mostly because I was stressed. Sometimes I felt like I was doing this for us–for her–and that she didn’t care. But I never told her that that was why I was starting the business, that it was for her. I think she thought maybe I was just trying to make a quick buck.
Anyway, we broke up on Feb 24, 2007. She emailed me and told me it was over. I found she put a profile in match.com and in less than 3 weeks, she was with someone. An actuary who makes over $100,000 per year. So just like that I was replaced. I’ve been depressed ever since.
