The past that won't leave me alone

Well, it must be that time of year again. At least twice a year my ex girlfriend sends me an e-mail ?just to say HI?. Here is what I would like to write back to her, but know that I never will:

Dear XXXXX (You don?t want to know her name, do you?),

Thank you for the nice message you sent me. Yes, I know it has been a while since we last talked and yes, I really should be better at keeping in touch with you. BTW, how is your husband and please remind me why you feel it necessary to send me these messages. Have you ever thought that maybe it would be best for both of us if you forgot about me? Of course I have fond memories of you and yes, those were indeed some of the most passionate times of my life. How could I ever forget them?especially since you keep writing me and describing them in such lovely intimate detail? While yes, you will always be a part of the memories that make me the person that I am, but do you think it is best for us to continue to re-live those memories in your twice a year message? Hmm, I wonder if your husband would agree. Thank you for the pictures you sent. You look as beautiful as that first day when you stole my heart. I?m really serious, you look lovely?but does your husband know that you have sent me nude pictures of yourself? Why did you send me those? What do you want from me? Aren?t you happy with your husband? Wait, please don?t answer those questions. That will only make me think of you more. Damn it, can?t you see how confused you make me. Okay, I am going to go look at your pics one more time, think fondly of you, remind myself why we broke up and then pray that I can forget you?at least until you send me another message in about six months.

Love?no?Kind Regards,

Lyle

Well you can also always simply delete the e:mail the moment you get it,without reading.The very fact you don't and from what your "pretend" reply letter says,seems to imply you still got the hots for her still ;-)

Hahahaha! You got one too Lyle.......Sounds as if she knows exactly what she is doing.

I agree with Oliver here, send it back to her and block her if you really want to let go.....Once you start looking at the pics and remembering it can't be good, especially if she's married......Or you can hold the naked pictures for ransom........nevermind, I am evil.

Just my 2 cents, but been there and done that and know it is not healthy.

OK I think shes some sort of person who tries to make herself always and forever look great and lovely ( as u say) by sending you (and maybe some other guyz she knows) some pictures of her. well I dont actually know her so I cant really say that but it could be right?

Lets think positive, she may probably just wanna keep in touch with u. i know some of ppl who always keep in touch with their ex but ive never heard that they would send their ex some nude pics.

Its obvious that u still *have* a feeling for her in ur msg. But again, why cant u just ignore her msg like ok u read it but its not neccessary for u to reply it. she'll still keep sending it anyway right?

u dont have to forget about her. just remember that the past is the past and its always a good precious memory. yeah just a real good memory...

take care, x May x

i think the fact that Lyle posts this entry here is not to humiliate his ex-gf in concern of what she did to him. it's more like an expression that's solely based on Lyle's feeling and just wants to get it out of his confusion.

i encourage him to send this msg directly to her instead of just having us reading it because it's just fair to let her know what Lyle thinks and feels about the way she's been treating him.

first point is that, she might not know the effects of what she's done...so she would know if you just simply tell her.

second point is that, instead of being a still target, it's better to become an active target which basically you are shifting the connection from one way to 2-ways.

after sending it, if she doesn't stop or she starts a whole new strategies (i.e. sending emotional msgs and so on), then you might consider blocking her from your list in order to avoid any upcoming problems.

2 cents only.

AF, you are absolutely correct! my intention was not to humiliate my ex or make a joke of this situation. i guess i was using this journal as a way to verbally release the frustration i feel. not necessarily frustration with my ex's actions, but rather the frustration with myself by being unsure with how to feel and what to do.

all in all, i appreciate everyone's opinions and comments (no matter their view).
