How easy is it to forget someone with whom you had a love/hate relationship after relocating?

Asked by HULK (101points) April 15th, 2013

What if during the years that you’ve known each other, it was hard to communicate and interact with each other.

One of you always email the other, but refuses to talk otherwise.

It’s never been that hard for me. I moved a lot when young, and I have had people move out of my life. At some point responding to emails I have nothing new to say, and I don’t need to answer.

My question back to you is, are you trying to keep a line of communication with this person? Or are you the one trying to break it off? It’s much easier to have it end than to keep it going. And if you are distant from each other, ask yourself why you want it to continue?

Not that hard. But that’s just me. but like @zenvelo said, are you trying to break off?

Out of sight out of mind. For me, moving away helps tons to get over a difficult relationship.

In my experience, the passage of time diminishes, though never fully eradicates the emotions, both positive and negative, surrounding a severed relationship. Geographical separtation has only minimal bearing.

I think for each person it may be different. It may also depend on the degree of love/hate felt for the person.

Well, the situation is such that the person that emails the other is the girl. And the guy is the one that moved away another country. The love/hate relationship was mutual. But more so from the guy’s side. It was barely a friendship. It seems that he was trying to be friendly at the last minute, but she wasn’t. But yet, she still send emails. The emails are mass emails that includes his email address. So it seems she is sending them to all in her contacts, which inludes him. For all the time that she sent him emails, even during the time he was around, he only emails her back about 6 or 7 times. Now he does not repsond at all.

I would not respond to a mass e-mail from someone with whom I had barely a friendship.

I never respond to an email with jokes, or pictures of puppies, or the latest dire news from a political website. That is not the same as an attempt at communication which your posting implied.

HULK's avatar

@zenvelo: The communication I spoke about was just interacting in person, NOT the emails. The emails recieves replies from most of the contacts, but not him; especially since she has made no effort to speak to him in person.

It all seems so nebulous as to be insignificant; like parsing a glass of water. But I’m sure there is meaning and feeling in it for the “she’ who is writing the e-mails.

Is this the same person you are talking about in This Question?

And is it the same person you are talking about in This Other Question

Forgive me, but as I have been re-reading your questions, there seems to be a lot of weird stuff going on with people that may or may not be doing inappropriate things. I think you need to give us more clarification and details, otherwise I can’t help but think that you are surrounded by a lot of strange people, or that you are just paranoid. I’m still unclear as to whether these incidents are happening to you, or to someone else.

If someone (or multiple someones) are doing something inappropriate towards you, then you need to talk to someone in authority, where the problem situations have occurred. We’d like to help you, but we need more information.
