Dear John

I think I've just received my first ever "Dear John" letter.

I'm glad it didn't come when I was young and in my prime. I think I would have been utterly crushed. Rejection is far easier to accept when you're allegedly mature.

But it still makes you feel sad ...

Definitely their loss! Those letters really suck no matter what age we receive them. Huge Hug from the USA.
 
I am sure there will be plenty of time for them to regret what they said. Are you sure it was a Dear John?
 
Sorry that you're sad. At least you got a letter and possibly some closure vs a blow off & being ignored. Were you phased out or was it a surprise? Big Hug!
 
Not every relationship blooms, and not every bloom matures. But since you made an effort, the sadness is inevitable. Still a lot of garden to tend. And the evidence around you is that you are lovable and loved.
 
Ugh! That's super sad. I was all happy to come read your thread because I thought you were talking about the movie. Now I'm rather bummed :eek:( I'm sorry things didn't work out with this one, just remember it's his loss!
 
My goodness, and to think there's more than one person in your blogging here that it could possibly be from! You lucky dog.
 
Thanks everyone for your comments. I have since been assured that the Dear John letter was not what I thought it was. Apparently I read more into it than was actually intended. Echoes of "my salad days" when I was "young and green in judgement"!
