Done

Erin,

I've left you alone for close to a year.

I've not talked to you for almost a year.

I've not even so much as posted anything that could be taken as insulting towards you for the better part of a year.

yet you insult me to my friends? I would say that you lied to them yet I'm sure that in this time that you've convinced yourself that you were the only person wronged.

You say that I broke the conditions first yet fail to identify what these are. Because as far as I can tell the only "condition" that I violated was the fact that I chose not to agree with what you've done. Don't you find it strange at all that you essentially broke up with your three best friends of old because of nearly the same reasons? They didn't feel sorry that you were torn between two guys at the same time, and I told you that you shouldn't date someone when you still had feelings for another. Granted I did go further than that and say that you shouldn't date Nathan. Although when you have someone call you on the phone crying each time they break up, and then show up at your work 2 hours before the end of your shift causing you to leave early...Can you blame me?

The fact that you refused to actually talk to me in person when the original argument took place told me then that you didn't want to resolve it. I accept that. The fact that you refuse any confrontation now shows me that you don't want others to doubt your story and that you don't have the confidence that what you've been telling yourself is even true. This I don't accept.

You crossed a line Erin, I find it odd that you say I'm the bitter one when you're the one that attempts to mislead MY friends. No Erin I don't hold grudges, I rarely care about something I get mad about more than a few days. This among other things speaks to me as to how little you actually did know me. Repetitive unjust or unprovoked actions towards me will anger me quickly and hold it for a while but I let go of it quickly after venting about it.

You were right about one thing though, I don't miss you. Not because I'm bitter, not because I'm angry, but because it achieves nothing and does me no good. You are among few that dislikes me because of what reasons you have. And anyone that does know me even slightly also knows that they aren't true.

I really do wish the best for you now. I just hope you learn that mistreating others is not a good way to keep going. Eventually Erin you'll have to learn that no one is always going to agree with you, and friends aren't there to agree with you all the time, they're the ones that tell you that you've screwed up, they're the ones that you trust to be honest with you not just people you go to for pity when you think things are unfair.

-Matt
