[quote=Tres;#373320;1383483552]Although I tried offering an explanation when I broke up with an ex. She didn't want to hear it and I felt a bit taken aback. It actually felt like my act of respect was rejected. I listened to her and didn't explain further.[/quote] I've been on that situation for so many times. For me, a break up is the end of everything, since on my part, it was them who always initiated the break up so once they said that "Raph, let's call it quits..this isn't not working anymore". That's my cue to exit, they were trying to explain further but I refused to listen because it hurts me more and I already understand that they were not happy anymore so I let them go right away. [i]Ganun ako kadali kausap.[/i] --- Love issue of unfinished businesses.. For me, it should be necessary. If you're going to hurt someone, give it your kill shot, [i]iwanan mo nang patay.[/i] No doubts. No open endings. This is of course, is ideal. In an ideal world people will tell us their intentions, their plans, their rationales. But that's too far from reality, there are people who just don't care to give you an ending, there are people who don't want to be the reason of the ending and there are people who don't want to be tagged as the "bad guy" in the relationship that's why they chose to leave you hanging in the midair. Now, if you're one those people left with such a big question, do not look for an answer. It will never be given. You must learn to accept that some questions are best answered with [i]"I don't know"[/i]. A good thing life is an exam with no answer key, you can make your own answer. So instead of asking yourself [i]"Why?"[/i] Give yourself the honor of answering the question with [i]"Kasi I am a great guy and I deserve better."[/i]
