someone dumped me and i was hurt, but i took my therapist's advice and moved on. when she stopped returning my calls, i wondered why and wanted to confront her but i'm glad i never did -- i was able to have my dignity. and why would i want to be friends with someone who didn't have the common courtesy to let me right my wrong if i had done something to offend her...
