I recently lost the girl of my dreams but didn’t realize it at the time. We had been going out for almost three years and I know that she was waiting for me to be more serious in our relationship. She often talked about marriage, (something that I always ran from), and children. My inability to commit led to our break up and the biggest heartbreak of my life.

I had taken her out to dinner at one of her favorite spots the night she crushed my world. We had ordered and were drinking a glass of wine when she again approached the subject of marriage. I started to stumble on my words and tried to change the subject.

“See,” she almost yelled at me, “You’re just an idiot that will never have a family because you can’t commit!”

Everyone in the place turned to look at us. I could feel the heat on my face.

“Calm down,” I stammered. That’s when things got really bad.

She stood up and addressed the entire restaurant.

“This guy is a jerk! We have been going out for almost three years. He loves to say that he loves me, and he loves taking me to bed, but he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life with me!” With that, she stormed out. I felt my heart break the instant that she was out of sight.

I looked around the room and called for the check. I wanted out of there as quickly as possible. The other customers there started throwing advice and telling me that I was a jerk. So now here I was assaulted with my girlfriend’s (newly ex girlfriend) leaving, the looming relationship heartbreak- and public ridicule to boot.

I quickly paid the bill and left. I tried to call her the next day and she told me that I had told her all she needed to know when I let her leave without a word. I tried to explain the embarrassment, but she hung up on me. I sent her flowers to apologize and admit that I was a jerk, but she had the delivery guy bring them to my office with a note telling me that I could stick it.

As if all of this wasn’t bad enough, the waitress from the restaurant sent me a letter telling me that I should have never let my girl leave, and that I had serious commitment issues. She also stated that she got my address from my credit card receipt and that I could call the place and have her fired because women needed to stick together when it came to guys like me.
