    Dear sisjay:

    From your share it seems to me that you feel guilty for missing your girlfriend when she left to Canada, as if missing her is a character flaw, a sin, something you feel guilty about. Is that so?

    You wrote: “She was trying hard from Toronto to get me in that country. We found a way…I promised that I would come.. later, I found out that way wasn’t going to work and I did not tell her as she would get hurt because of that. I gave her a reason to get mad at me. I broke my promise.”- I didn’t understand this paragraph: why did her way of you coming to Canada not work? Why didn’t you tell her it couldn’t work? Why did you keep it a secret?

    And what is it that you actually say to her when she was in Canada that brought about the breakup? What is it that you feel guilty about?

    Actually, we had done a website for our final year project. She was my partner in that project. The project was about exploring music. Many people loved it. We also won couple of project completion. At that moment I had decided to improve the site and launch it for the world to see it.

    So in terms of getting in Canada, I applied for the startup Canada program. But that didn’t work out. Then one of her friend (lets call him Mr. D) suggested to take it to a angel investor and apply for funding. His boss was a vc. He told us that we could approach his boss. Aishwarya trusts me.D. He is five years elder to her and is a father. Mr. D said that he’ll be business partner and we can start it in Toronto. So I started getting all the things ready. Made the business model. Made the revenue model. Planned and built further business strategies. At this moment mr.D said that he will fund my air fare as was going to be my business partner over there.

    There all problems started. He wanted me to lie to my parents and go to Canada on a business trip. Which I initially disagreed. Then he was ready to talk to my parents about this. So that is when I promised my baby that I’ll surely be there.

    After few days, as I was preparing the business plan, I went to couple of lawyers for solving few doubts about intellectual property theft. At that moment, all the lawyers told me not to go ahead with this plan. You cannot trust anyone whom you haven’t met. Too much risks.

    I couldn’t tell this to my girl as I knew she would get very upset as I’m not believing her and mr.D. The lawyers had shown me how wrong things can go.

    So to keep the cool, I prevented the topic. After this, my second attempt for convincing my parents for education over there started. So somehow, this topic was side lined.

    To answer your second question,
    We were having frequent fights from mid march. At that time, she had to study as her exams were in April. One fine day, she said that she doesn’t find us “made for each other”. This worried me. I was shattered completely. One of the reason my insecurities increased. Things like these carried on. She had started saying these things as she had lost hopes of ne coming in Toronto. One day, she said that we’ll sort this stuff after her exam was over. At that moment I asked if we were headed for breakup. She declined.

    It was a routine for her to message me when she woke up. On her last day of the exam she did not. I knew she was awake. I messaged her to ask that. Then, in the heat of the moment, I again asked if she wanted breakup. She said yes.

    That’s where I lost it. :'(

    She had totally lost faith in me that I am taking efforts to reach there. She took the frustration out on me many times by saying that “we wont last long” and “Mr.D was providing you such a free opportunity still you did not accept it”

    My overall insecurities had completely increased. This Mr.d used to call me and tell me not to disturb her. He used to threat me that he will initiate breakup with my girl if he feels like I am doing something wrong. His threats would increase to such an extent that once he said that he’ll send my girl with other guys for date. He will make the breakup happen. This had started wayy back in February. He was the major reason my insecurities increased. I knew my baby is listening to a wrong person. She is under his influence.

    Because of this, my desperation to do over there increased.

    Dear sisjay:

    I can’t wrap my head around you not telling your girlfriend at the time that you don’t trust Mr. D, following the advice of your lawyers, and therefore you will not be using Mr. D’s plan for you to arrive to Canada. You wrote that you didn’t tell her so that she wouldn’t get upset… but how were you going to sidestep the fact that you were not cooperating with Mr. D’s plan? Didn’t you know Mr. D and her are talking and therefore she will know that you are not going forward with his/ her plan?

    And who is Mr. D? You wrote that he is a father, not her father, right? Much older than her… a friend of her father… who is he?

    At that moment, diversion of me going there for education took place. It went all cool. That’s why I stayed quiet.

    Mr.D was her room mate.

    Dear sisjay:

    I cannot comment further on your story because I don’t understand it. On top of what I already mentioned that I don’t understand, I also don’t understand the reason Mr. D, a male roommate your girlfriend has, is so powerful in her life and in yours; why he was allowed to threaten you and destroy your relationship with her. I don’t know the nature of her relationship with him or yours. Maybe someone else reading your story is able to understand better.

    Take care-

    Dear anita

    I’m sorry I’m unable to explain it. I’m also confused about what all happened and what all went wrong. I’m also confused why Mr.D is so powerful in her life. I regret that I allowed him to cross the boundaries and threaten me with those calls. What was I thinking.

    But those are the things which have already happened, and I’ve spent a lot of time and energy thinking and analyzing it.
    Some days, when I am totally angry about the situation and I foresee myself happy without her in my life. Who needs a person who changes so quickly to forget three years of relationship. So those days, I am perfectly cool and normal.

    But sometimes I get these emotional attacks and I start missing her badly. All the good things come to surface and I keep on missing those moments. I had planned a lot of things for her when she was going to return. But all went fail. These regrets just keep circling in my mind.

    Too many regrets just keep circling me and destroy my mood. Now, the thing is, I need to move on somehow. At least I need to figure out how I should regain my confidence. Any wise words on that? Any initial steps to love myself more and feel great about myself?

    I read this thread few mins ago.

    Oops I did it again = )

    To quote his last lines,

    I just feel like it’s not one thing that’s causing me to feel “hopeless”, but the culmination of everything that’s going on around. I wish I was one of the people who just didn’t give a f%ck and just chilled about everything. I am not. I take everything close to heart and I feel so alone and don’t know what to do

    Thats exactly what I feel from deep inside. This world is a brutal place. Cant help it. I just need to move on and be the person who really knows who to trust and not to give a f**k about someone.

    Any help on loving myself more? Coz, if I do that, I’ll be back making new dreams and chasing them.

    ps: its slsjay and not sisjay 🙂

    Dear slsjay:

    Need to learn from your past experiences in order to make a better future. Things you can learn, maybe, are:

    Don’t assume next time that you are going to be okay when physically separated from a woman you love- don’t treat it like… nothing is happening. A great thing was happening, a major attachment figure was leaving and you had no idea something major was happening. Then, when she was gone, you were overwhelmed by the separation and your brain was foggy with pain (this is my understanding)- so the mystery of Mr. D was just that, for you, a mystery.

    If your brain was clear, you would have asked her: “Who the *&^% is Mr. D?”

    And you would have become aware that something meaningful was happening, that she was having a meaningful relationship with Mr. D (romantic or not).

    Maybe you weren’t paying attention before she left to Canada and this may very well be the key: pay attention to what is happening inside you and outside of you, so that you can evaluate people and situations correctly.
