Cold Shoulder
It astonishes me sometimes how people can so easily turn their back on you. When Jennifer broke it off with me last Sunday, we didn't part on the best of terms. She told me she needed to get off the phone and we said a terse "good night" to each other. Not wanting to leave things off that way, and wanting to see if there was still a spark, I e-mailed her, telling her I would call her. A couple of nights later, I called and left a message. No return phone call. I sent another e-mail, once again trying to persuade her to change her mind, but also wishing her well in case she didn't call. I told her that she's a special person and that I would miss her. No response to the e-mail either. Granted, we hadn't know each other for long or been out together that much and she doesn't owe me a thing, but we did like each other and enjoy other's company. I thought that would count for something. She's not the only ex to turn a cold shoulder like that to me. It's something that I don't get, how someone could so resolutely make up their mind and blow you off despite a history together. It's also not worth dwelling on. It tells me something about Jennifer, and the others, and that I clearly am better off without her.
