We just got back from Tahiti in February. You just went home with me for my grandmother's funeral. We were wonderful together. You wanted to get married and I was looking at rings. You told me that I was your life. What could have happened in the last 5 days to change your mind? Why were you so threatened by my daughter? She is a little loving child who was just getting to know you. I know you are adopted. I know your brother was killed tragically when your were a child and your father was murdered when you were in your 20s. But these tragedies do not give you license to be emotionall reckless. I loved you. I cherished you. Granted, we took things slow. But it has only been 2 years! You are 43 and have never been married. Now I see why. I gave you everything, but you acted like a petulent child. You claim to have sacrificed for me, that you were on my schedule. Divorced people have schedules. In the beginning, my daugter wasn't ready to meet anybody. It had nothing to do with you! She was just a little girl trying to cope with the previous divorce of her parents. You sacrificed nothing to be with me other than a life of meaningless carousing. I offered you a future. I just asked that you allowed me to propose in a time and manner that I see fit. I am the man!! You decided to cut your losses?!? What losses? You are 43 years old and will have to start over. Had you waited one more month, there would have been a ring on your finger...we would have had a life together. I hate you for the rollercoaster I have been on...I love you more than anyone I have ever known and I am saddened by the inescapable truth that we cannot be together!!
