Misunderstandings.... could it really have been just a misunderstanding that ended my relationship with Libby? I remember getting a letter while @ camp that effectively ended our relationship. She returned my ring! She doesn�t remember sending it...at least she doesn�t remember breaking up with me in that letter then. She remembers me breaking it off with her in August when I got back. I worked that summer believing it was over with us and I only contacted her in August to come claim her stuff from my parents house. Some of it I wish I had kept. Actually just one thing in particular, I kept the ring, though I don't remember why, but that was it. Everything else was returned. I was mad and hurt that she couldn't even apologize when she saw me that day.... I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing but I knew that we would spend the next year apart, like we had done the previous year, and if we couldn't part on good terms we might as well not bother trying to save the relationship. I thought it best to say forget it and move on without her. Did I do the right thing? Who knows, but it was 8 years ago and it allowed me to find Jen and fall in love. Maybe Libby and I could have salvaged at least a friendship out of it I'll never know. Now that we are in contact again there is a lot of pain and hurt exchanged in each e-mail and journal post...why? Can we let it go and move forward?

What does she mean by "I care too much"? Why does she think that if I truly care about Jen I should stop responding to Libby's e-mail? Can we ever just be friends?
