Men enjoy revenge more than women do

An excerpt -

Both men and women feel empathy towards people they know experiencing pain but in men the empathy turns to pleasure when the victim is someone they dislike.

Instant Karma's gonna get you

I could never bring myself to commit revenge against someone for something petty. If someone hurt somebody close to me however that would be a different story.

I have someone in my life right now that is five years younger than me and only cares about herself. We used to be in a relationship but are now just ‘friends’ if you can call it that.

Basically she just calls me for favors and mooches off of me all the time. She is like my own personal Vietnam in the regards that she is a big resource, emotional, time and energy drain.

I just hope that someday she realizes that what she is doing to me right now was wrong, or she learns it from someone else that she ends up treating the same way. Karma is what I’m praying for.

After Christmas I tried cutting her off but she talked me into staying. In February it will be one year since I first asked her out and a year of being close to her is enough.

Time to walk away from a situation I will be kicking myself for, for the rest of my life. I shouldn’t have taken her to Ireland. I shouldn’t have stuck around after the relationship ended. You can’t be friends with someone you are in love with.

Life lesson learned in a deep scar kind of way, the kind that leaves you jaded for life.

Selfishness is usual the ultimate killer of relationships and the cause for most plagues of humanity.
Hope you make the right decision :-)

There is no right decision either way I lose. I have a computer that I built for her that I need to deliver, and I told her after that I think it’s best we never speak again.

After you spend a lot of time with the same person and they drain everything from you, all you are left with is a big empty space after they are gone. I’m not looking to be in a relationship for a long time after her. I kind of wanted to see how her life would turn out, and at one time wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but now I just need to focus on my happiness.

On Tuesday I really need to close that chapter of my life.
