i have yet to meet another person that would've been worth all that mess. one should never invest one's total heart in another imperfect fallible human being. i wish i could wave a magic wand over the OP and cure him of his heartbreak, but one's heart is a precious possession, never to be exposed to the carelessness of another typical human being.

Honestly, the only excuse for this is some kind of mental breakdown. From what I understand, he is still active on Facebook. It seems he has made it clear he does not want you in his life at the moment.

This is a really terrible thing to do to someone. I would try dating sites, go out meet people. Move on. You can't give this person any more of yourself than you have, and you can't always hope "what if."

I hate to say it, but you have to move forward. Keep the good memories there, because they're a part of you. But don't waste the rest of your life like this, please.

Everybody keeps telling me that I have to move on. Honestly, the only thing I want right now is for him to talk to me. I feel like that's the only thing that would truly make me happy again.

I'm trying to distract myself. I just miss him terribly. I really admired him, and I hate feeling shut out of his life.

I do feel anger every now and then, but mostly sadness. I can't just force my emotions. I feel what I feel.

What you want is closure. You will just have to make up your own story.

Okay, here's what I think may have happened:

It was sometime between three and seven o'clock on the morning of September 11th. John was supposed to be meeting me at my house in a few hours. John decided that, not only did he not want to meet with me, he didn't want to be with me anymore, and so he defriended me on Facebook.

That doesn't quite explain why he didn't tell me anything or why he hasn't changed his relationship status since he defriended me, though.

Is the relationship status still visible through another account?

Could be you are looking at old cookies each time you look at his account.

If he hasn't responded to any attempts at communicating you must assume he doesn't want to communicate. You have to pick up the pieces and start fresh :)

It doesn't seem like anybody else who isn't his friend can see his relationship status. I can see it no matter what computer I'm using. Plus, I can see whenever he changes his profile picture or adds friends. When he and I were together, his relationship status read, "In a relationship with [my name]." Since he defriended me, his status has simply read, "In a relationship."

It's a bug with Facebook most likely

Okay, I have a few updates, and I don't feel like starting another thread. so here goes.

No, I have not heard from him, even though it's been almost a month since my last contact to him (I called his number on September 26th, but just to see if his voice mail was still there - it was).

He has a birthday in December, so my current plan is to wait until then (at the longest) and send him a "happy birthday" text or Facebook message. I'm hoping under those circumstances I'll have a better chance at getting a response because a) it will have been three months since I heard from him, b) it's his birthday, so he'll probably be in a good mood, and c) he might be flattered that I remembered his birthday. Still, I'm concerned that once his birthday comes around, I'll get depressed, because I won't be around to celebrate it with him, like he celebrated my own birthday with me.

Also, an old flame of mine is sending signals that he might be interested in me again (or at least interested in having sex with me, but I don't know if it's out of pity because of my current circumstances). I'm starting to think that going out with someone else might actually be beneficial, because it could get my mind off of John (the guy I've dedicated this thread to).

Anyway, that's about all I have to say right now.

You're going to have to let it go... it's very likely you were just used for sex - happens all the time, sadly.

That's an awfully pessimistic way of looking at it. I won't deny the possibility, but I do doubt that's what his ultimate intention was with me.

Go out with your old flame. Don't rush into sex. Just have fun :)

I don't know what his intentions are with me, though. He did flat-out state that he wanted to have sex with me, but that doesn't necessarily mean he wants a relationship. Again, it's possible he only pities me because of my current situation. Or perhaps he thinks having sex with him could help me get my mind off of John, in which case, his heart may be in the right place, but I don't know if having sex with someone else would be something I could do right now.
