I am breaking up with you.
I know that it sucks. I know that reading it in a blog post sucks worse.
But that is the way it is going to be.
I have been faithful for years. I have tagged along behind you, cheering you on when no one else had any faith in you at all. I feel now that it was all in vain, that you don’t care about my feelings, you don’t respect me or even try to make an effort.
Skating along doing only what is necessary when things get bad, is just not enough for me anymore. I am done.
I am exhausted with worrying about how you will react or not react in a stressful situation. Sometimes the letdown is nearly too much for me to bear.
A relationship is supposed to go both ways, you are supposed to care for me as much as I care for you, there should be mutual respect and mutual effort to make it work. I just don’t think you are pulling your weight anymore…I need to find a new way to live, without you.
I know I am walking away when things may be getting good, but maybe somehow you will be better off without me. Maybe things will actually turn around for you and you will accomplish things you wouldn’t otherwise do with me here.
I may consider coming back to you next year, when things cool off a bit and I feel a little less pessimistic about the way things are working out.
I need some time to think.
And I just find that I really don’t have the time to be devoted to you anymore.
I will still facebook stalk you occasionally, and watch the stories about you on the news.
But for now, we should just call it done.
Unless you make the playoffs and are a bit more enthusiastic than you have been during this sucky short regular season…
I just have better things to do at this time of the year.
I am sure some of your other fans will pick up my lack of hockey team slack…it’s all you can hope for at this point.
I wish you good luck and send you only the best of wishes.
But Cory and Roberto, Ryan and Maxim…we are over for now.
I have to walk away from you all…
You just don’t make me happy anymore.
