Probably she let it go on even though she was unhappy because she did have feelings for you and didn't want to hurt you. In other words she was trying to be good to you even though being with you wasn't making her happy.
Its not always enough to love someone or be fond of them and loving someone or having feelings for them doesn't mean the entire relationship is working or indeed that it should be forced work. IMO if she was unhappy she's done the right thing.
So here i will translate it. "Probably she let it go on even though she was unhappy because she did have feelings for you and didn't want to hurt you"...translation 'Her felling for you were gone, and she found somebody else, she just forgot to tell you about it till she found a good exit door"
awww..c'mon.. you really can't be serious about the above translation...can you ?
How about it means just what she said.. The woman was unhappy with things in the relationship, and she really did have feelings of love for him..and was afraid to hurt him by telling him what was wrong. Is that so hard?
If you're trying to make light of it.. that's all good, and I can appreciate you trying to interject some humor into the thread... but if you're the least bit serious..you're really doing your gender an injustice by" twisting" words around , and saying that woman made no sense.
Guilty as charged on all counts. But however there is no twisting just different interpretations of the same thing to different genders and different people.
Tell me something... how is the best way to tell a man , in your opinion... these thoughts.
"I really love you, but you are hurting me with the choices you make.. we have discussed it, and you understood how I felt, and promised you were working on it. After some time, I see that things are not changing, and I continue to hurt. I realize my love for you won't change you, and I do not want to nag you.. and so I must love myself enough to let go of a relationship that will only continue making me sad."

Oh that's easy. Wait until he asks what's wrong and tell him 'Nothing'.
"Hey bub, # changes I don't think I love you no more, so we either got to fix it or I will be moving on to somebody who can and can understand why, or put the effort into understanding why. "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" The end might be neigh dipcus.
its funny how you get that..out of what I was trying to say.

What you said above in #1, and #2 it is all the same difference.
Ok...Have you tried shooting spit balls at him when he is not looking, to see if that gets his attention? And it might give him an inkling into whatever weird psychic mind control communication you might be trying to get across to him. Or at the very least it might get his attention...probably.
And if that does not work or get his attention, then there is always the kicking him in the shins option, and if that does not work. Well then your screwed, and you might as well give up and go play video-games and surf the net, till whatever happens...happens.
I wonder if it's something introverts are more likely to say, regardless of gender? Or non-confrontational people. I can see it's probably better to get things out in the open, but it's a hurdle for some of us.
I'm sorry to hear about your breakup. My only advice to you is to not try to make sense of any of it. The more you start wondering why they do the things they do, the more you get hurt and confused.
I was giving an example..of how a woman can be as honest as possible..and the man still reads crap between the lines.
But hey..who knows ..maybe it takes a spitball to get a mans attention to talk about things that matter.
I guess if that was the case ... some women would just prefer to walk away....and not look back.

I don't waste my time figuring out the other person.. I spend my time figuring out myself and how my thoughts and actions affected my relationship with that person. People are gonna step all over you the minute you let them. You can't allow anyone to do that to you because if you do, you are setting yourself up for failure.
We don't know what goes in the other persons mind. We never will because their thoughts are theirs and theirs alone. We can only listen to what they have got to say and try to make sense of it, but ultimately your own decisions are the ones that lead you to a path of happiness or failure.
You do realize there was very little honesty in your examples and from my perspective it was all just a bunch of meaningless words. So what do you really want from him, if you do not know yourself, then how can you expect him or anybody else to know? And the man will always read things in-between the line because the woman is always saying things in between the lines if you have not yet noticed.
Basically WTF do you want? Is really the only question that really needs be answered in a mans head. And when you give false information about that you want, you will receive things that you did not want. You dig.
