Since this is where the drama and court of public opinion is, I shall give my rebuttal.

Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way

What happened to cause this chain of events is only between, me, Articuno, and God.
It's none of your business, so don't make it yours.

Counter Rebuttal: "But you hurt her so it's now my business"
Either one of two things,
1. I have no idea who you are, thus, you mean nothing to me.
2. I know you very well and I am disappointed that you chose to be one sided and have tunnel vision. Glad I know what kind of "friend" you are.



Responses to the peanut gallery:
"Two and a haf years of love and you do that to her?" & "just think it was an awful thing to do -- to just dump someone because they stop loving you. It's not right."
There was a choice to be made that you are too young or ignorant to understand.
1. We continue an illusion of a relationship, a false sense of love. A lie.
2. The truth is known. And subsequent action follows.

Which would you want?

"All I can say is that you're going to regret it."
Oh so you know the future now? Brilliant! Then you would have seen this response coming so there was no need to speak, now was there?

"She sounds hurt simply by the way he let her down."
I was as soft as I knew how to be without saying anything that was false to her, or against my will.

"I'd be gentle and slow and help you get through it."
I did not end the phone call. My offer still stands to help and assist you, it is not something I have to do (all things considered) but I offer it simply because I am not cold of heart.

"when just the week before he was saying he loved me"
I could not bring myself to become honest with you or myself, because of these reactions it would entail.
Your dammed if you do, your dammed if you don’t. It was and is a loose-loose situation


"Just don't go back crying for her when you finally take a good look at yourself."
I took a good look at myself. I realized no matter how I cut it, there was going to be pain and deceit.
One road leads to eternal pain and deceit. One road there was a dense patch of pain, and then both the pain and deceit end. In addition to other reasons, because I was not able to be honest, I decided to spare her from future disappointments, it was one of the few promises I was able to keep. I made it in OUR best interest.

I don’t feel fond of having her cult following passing judgment on me in the court of public opinion.

I wish you all well, now please, leave these matters be.
