| Well, this divine feeling I had a few days ago, the one I mentioned in my previous post, did not last very long.
So on the day that I said that I did not want to have contact with her for a while, she said she understood etc.
But after 48 hours she started to text me again. Before I tell about what happened after those 48 hours, I just want to say how focused and how strangely perculiar happy I was in those 48 hours of no contact. I felt so very much relieved. I actually delivered and finished my work for school in time by working for about 20 hours in those two days. I was in a state of flow and things just clicked. I could do everything I wanted.
But then, after the 48 hours as I was preparing for the next big assignment that is due a few days later, she texted me:
"Complete radio silence..."
"Should I draw conclusions from this?"
It was obvious that she somehow got it inside her brain that I was breaking up with her. Remember, I did not text her at all anymore, which is something we have never done before. I knew she would probably be feeling bad about it, but she also knew that I needed this space so that I could focus. But somehow she still found the nerve (or anxiety) inside herself that wanted to text me, and announce her negative views on this whole situation.
Well, when I read that, I bonked my head on my desk in frustration, for, again, my heart sank, me hands becamse sweaty, had trouble breathing and was shaking all over. All the anxiety I was finally rid of, came backing pouring in me again. And I know I had to deal with it soon, else I would not make my next assignment on time.
I was thinking about just ignoring her, but I knew that if I did that, she would just draw the wrong conclusions and the anxiety would not go away. So I texted her:
"No ofcourse you should not worry. I am just very busy with my schoolwork. That's where all my time and energy is going out to right now, just as we discussed. Don't hope it is too inconvenient for you... X"
Too which she replied:
"Yeah, you are absolutely right! Kinda stupid reaction from me. Sorry. I'm just not having my day. Good luck with everything! Love you! X"
and after that she texted:
"I feel very guilty about what I said. Please don't take it serious. X"
I just ignored her. The relief somehow started to kick back in me. Because I knew she was on good terms with me again, I could finally started to work again. So I did. But I was very angry at her though. It all just felt like she has to have some form of attention from me, as if she could not survive without 2 days of no contact.
Oh well.
The days continued on. And somehow I started texting her again. Just informing about how I was doing okay with the exams and stuff. Asking how everything was with her.
Probably should not have done that. Because we started texting again, and I found it harder and harder to make a stop at it again. I was losing control and power.
Every new text message she sended to me, there was some small hint of irritation on her side. It was subtle, but noticable. For example:
"I am looking at your Facebook photo, staring, waiting on a new text from you... just kidding! No, how are you? Is everything going smoothely with the exams? X"
and
"How's it going? Are you ready for tomorrows exam? I'm going to think about you (which I'm doing all the time ofcourse...) Good luck tomorrow! X"
She was sending me these kind of irritable text messages because I was not replying to her as much as I did in the past. She does not like that.
And eventhough I understand where all of this is coming from, it still caused some form of anxiety for me. As for example, that last text message you just read was send to me moments ago. Tomorrow I have an exam, and now I just cannot study because of her irritating text message. I can't focus, can't set myself to work. My 48 hours of brilliant zen feelings was something already way way back in the past. The same old habits start to kick in.
I just can't take it anymore like this. I was more happy in those 48 hours than most of the time I am spending with her... I'm just worrying so goddamn much about us. This really isn't normal.
And to be honest, I haven't really missed her ever since I announced the freeze out to her. And when she was giving me this kind of text messages, being totally needy and non-understanding, after all that, all I could think of was how she does not deserve me at this moment. She does not deserve my attention like this.
It's clear she needs a lot of attention. She has almost nothing going on within her life. She has absolutely no friends, she has a job which she likes, she has her dog, she has her parents and she has me. That is it. She has not hobbies. She relies to much on me to have fun. I really really hate that. I feel so much pressure because I want to make things right, to keep things fun, but whenever she says things like "So, any news?" "Any gossip?" "Do you have anything fun to tell me?" - whenever she does that, she's kinda forcing me to entertain her... I really don't like that. It feels so forced, as if I am gathering news and stories for her during the days we don't see each other so that I could entertain her on the days I do see her.

My parents will be gone for two weeks after 8 days from now. It was planned that she would stay with me for two weeks so we could "test how it would be to actually live together for a longer period of time". I liked that idea a lot in the past, but now I am somehow imagining how those two weeks will be, if it will be as fun as it could be, if I will get sad by her again, or she by me, if I still think she does not deserve attention or certain behaviour from me and thus making an unhappy SPAM.... etc.
So my conclusion is this: If those two weeks don't work out, if I notice I am not happy with it during those weeks, I will send her home and explain that we should stop seeing each other because it's just not working out.
She has influenced me in good ways and bad ways, but lately the bad things are taking over too much for me. If I am not happy and if I am screwing up my schoolwork because of my own mental problems, triggered by her, then I don't think we could last in the future.
What do you think?
