i have to agree with theWeezL (agreeing from the same experience), but damn dude, letter with your own blood?
theWeezL said:I mentioned this in another thread some time ago, but Im going through a divorce right now. I was happily married for 10 years. Then one day, my wife says "we need to talk". Three weeks later I was back in Oregon. I tried to talk it out with her, I was calm and rational, and in 11 years together I have never once raised my voice to her. I sent letters, and music that expressed my feelings. Told her how much I loved her and that I would do anything she wanted to make it work. I offered to go to counceling, asked her to write down anything that she thought would have made it different. I gave her the space she asked for. I never once disrespected her wishes, and when faced with difficult decisions about division of assets told her she could have anything and everything she wanted and I would dispose of anything left.
She took it all. I retained my tools, my photography stuff, a stereo and my clothes...and my dog. On my last day in NM I loaded up a last load of stuff she wanted, hugged her real tight, told her I was sorry and that I wished her nothing but happiness in her life. Then I went in side after she left and balled my eyes out all night. The next morning I left. Ive spoken with her a total of maybe 5 times on the phone since then always on her terms because she wont give me her number. I recently wrote her a letter (which I have to send to her parents because I dont have her address) telling her that I now know the woman I married doesnt exist anymore and that whenever she wants I'll sign the paperwork and she can be free of me.
When I was much younger I made a similiar mistake of taking a woman for granted and lost her too. I fought with all my heart and soul. I used to follow her and see where she was all the time. I wrote her a letter in my own blood once. I bet you can figure out how well that went huh?
I guess my point is that no matter what you do a woman who flips that switch on their feelings is a lost cause. They have already decided not to love you, and nothing you say or do will ever change that. Forget all that sappy bullshit that TV and movies makes you think will work. Trust me, standing outside a woman's dorm room with a boom box playing "your" song will only make you look like a fool and make her think you are an idiot.
Save yourself some heartache. Go get drunk...when your sober again, start picking up the pieces of your life and move on. Think of it as a new phase in your life. Appreciate some freedom. Do whatever it takes to make yourself get over her, but...get over her.

From the picture you paint I can't for the life of me understand why she's left...... <sarcasm>
Let her go clean up your act then try again, this one is broken and she'll never forget.
IJ. said:And you think she's going to find that attractive Will?
Learn from your mistakes and move on.
No woman on this earth is worth selfdestruction none not a one no matter how much it's hurting now!
