Such a beautiful eloquent piece of writing. I have also had the experiences you speak of as have my girlfriends. I think at some level it is about the fear of emotions but also a superficially and shallowness that engulfs. A sense of entitlement absolutely. What to do? I honestly don’t know other than to keep reminding myself that my time is valuable and I will no longer invest it or my emotions into someone that has not returned it in full.
