I met someone a while back who I really thought I was falling madly in
love with. At the time I believed that I had never met anyone like her
before and thought that I had finally found my soul mate.
 
She had just come out of a messy long-term relationship and after
simply being her good friend at first we eventually got together. I
was really happy at the time, but just when I thought things we going
great she began acting really offish (not replying to messages etc)
for reasons that I don't think I'll ever know or understand.
 
I know that there was another man involved – someone who I had also
become friends with. They're now officially together. Needless to say
the girl left me feeling like a burn victim and I was in a very dark and
depressed place for a while because of it.
 
Although I have never been so hurt before and left feeling so
confused, angry, self-doubting and frustrated, I still can't get
myself to believe that the girl with the flame-thrower is a bitch or a
player. I work in the same building as her and therefore see her
practically everyday, yet I've decided not to be a dick towards her.
 
Is she simply a bitch? Why do women do this to decent guys??
