I know this is long, but I really need some good advice….
Foreword: I am a lesbian but I am married so that my 6 year old son can have a family. That is another monster all in itself…I really need some advice on my problem below. Thanks in advance and refrain from being hateful…I really don't need it right now.
My husband and I split up for a bit. Actually a long bit. From December of 2003 until about January of 2005. Then I lost my job and we lost the house and I moved in with a woman that I worked with. I lived with her *Mandy* for about 2 months. It was a wonderful 2 months. I fell completely in love with her. She was awesome. All she had to do was touch me and I melted. So many times I wish I would have stayed with her. I was happy. I mean I was really happy. She was a little more butch than I would have normally liked..or gone for...but, damn she was incredible. I don't think that I could ever put down into words what a good person she truly was. I miss her so much, and not a day go by when I don't think of her.
She won't talk to me now. I understand. I was seeing her before I actually moved in with her. I would say it was about 3 months before I moved in. My husband and I were separated at the time and when he moved back in I couldn't stop seeing her. I couldn't. I know that I should have...but...we talked all the time. I saw her everyday at work. The way she smelled, her mannerisms, her smile...everything about her made me feel so at ease. Like that is where I was supposed to be. I felt alive again...like I was in my secret world again. Except this time I wasn't a secret and I didn't care. I mean, it was obvious when we were together that we weren't "friends" if you know what I mean. I was and I still am completely in love with her.
But, it's pretty much gone to sh!t. We don't talk anymore and if you ask the two of us, you would get two different stories. This is my side,
When I moved in she knew that I wasn't working and she knew that I didn't have any source of income other than my unemployment. She told me not to worry about it, as long as I buy our (mine and my sons) own food and help with water and electric it was OK. So, I did just that. I saw the bills and we didn't cause much of an increase at all. We shared a bedroom, although most of the time Mandy and I shared her room. The only times I stayed in the room with my son was when he was scared or something of that nature.
Night after night I heard him cry that he missed his daddy. It was so hard to watch him cry like that. He had just gotten used to him being there again, and now...once again...he was gone. So, I talked to my husband and we decided to work things out to give our son a family again.
Mandy wan not very impressed with this at all and began being short with me the remaining time I was there. I understand. I probably would have been to. We were starting to get very close and then I drop this bombshell on her. To make matters worse, she was very hard to get to know...she had her guard up and finally let it down only to fu
So, upon moving out, I told her that I wanted to give her something for everything that she had done for me. I meant it. She knew that I didn't have anything to really give her, so I wrote her two checks. Both were for $300 that she agreed to wait to cash until I found employment and got caught up on my bills. She knew that it would be a minimum of at least 3 months. But, that was OK. She didn't have a problem with it. Well I moved out towards the end of March (last year).
I was friends with someone that was on her softball team and one night my husband, my son and I went up to her house. Once we got there she told us that she had a game that night. She tried to call the coach and tell her that she couldn't make it, but if she didn't show the team wasn't going to be able to play. I immediately went into overload as I couldn't wait to see Mandy, but at the same time didn't want her to see me with my husband. So, I told my friend that I couldn't go. We went back and forth for about 1/2 hour and she finally talked me into it. It was so good to see Mandy again, but I could tell she was pissed for me even going. I didn't want to, but we had just drove over an hour to get my friends and I wasn't about to just turn around and drive home. I wanted so bad to talk to her and let her know that my relationship with my husband wasn't all that it appeared. I still want to be friends; I still wanted to hang out with her.
Shortly after this incident I received a noticed to appear in small claims court. Yeah, after she saw me, she sued me for the money. The money that she agreed to wait on. The same money that she told me NOT to give her in the first place. WOW. That is all that I could say. Well that forced me into bankruptcy. I know it was only a total of $600 but that was on top of everything else I had piled up after being out of work for 4 months. My husband doesn't make crap, so his income really didn't do anything but keep us from being homeless. I don't blame her. I know she was just being vindictive. Hell, I know I hurt her and I might have done the same thing had I been in her shoes.
So now my bankruptcy has been accepted and I am finally paying everything off. I filed the Chapter 13 so I still pay everything back. I was going to file 7, but it's my debt, I incurred it and it's my responsibility to pay it back. It's not anyone's fault but my own that I was in the financial situation I was in. Finally my financial situation has gotten completely back on track.
She doesn't know it, but next month (I have to wait for next month due to some bills coming up…and I don't know about you…but $1000.00 is a lot of money to me) I am going to send her $1000.00. I just wish I could be there when she gets it. I know it doesn't make up for everything, but it's all I can do. Maybe this will help her realize that I really did/do care about her. I miss her so much. I don't have to give her anything...legally I mean. I claimed the $600 that I did owe her in the bankruptcy and she never filed a claim on it. So, really legally I don't owe her anything. My husband doesn't even know that I am sending it to her. And, honestly other than her...no one will know (except for you guys here).
I don't think that I am trying to buy her back or anything like that. I just want to set things right. I don't know what other way to do it. Maybe if I do this she will realize that I really honestly wasn't trying to fu
What else can I do? I miss her so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I miss everything about her. When I think about her, I feel like someone is physically ripping my heart out. I can't get over her. Have you ever heard Dave Matthews Band "Say Goodbye"? That was her song for me. I don't know how to either make this go away, or somehow I don't know…
I feel like I am going crazy…any advice?
