How to Not Make Amends
This is the story of how I tried to make amends and how that went horribly wrong. First, a bit of backstory.
I dated this guy (let's call him Ron) in my junior and senior year of high school (we were on and off twice and friends through the rest). We started dating in May of my junior year and I had another interest at the time as well, but I stayed faithful to Ron when we were together to not break his trust and ruin the relationship. After a couple months, being the teenage girl I was, I decided to follow my heart, end things with Ron, and try for a relationship with my other interest, Vincent. Check out "A Modern Love Story" if you want that whole story... I asked Ron if I could call him and he kept avoiding the question, probably knowing the outcome if he said yes. Knowing I would lose my nerve if I didn't end it that day, I texted it to him. I felt awful and I'd never broken up over text, but when I called him he sent it to voicemail. Ron was, of course, heartbroken, but I didn't want to have these feelings for Vincent and simply push them onto Ron, that just wouldn't be fair to him.
