    That's true. She'll probably get all of the cards on the same day, in June.
  • I'll be back on February 15th with the outcome, I'm going to send the first card tomorrow...

    Posting card no 1 today.

    This is the second time she's left him, the second time the OP has tried grand gestures and eventually slipped back into the old routine of doing nothing the first time they got back together. If by some slim chance they do get back together, six months from now the OP will probably be asking how to win her back again because he's refusing to learn from the mistakes he's made and keeps making.

    The girl has most likely moved on, the OP needs to do the same. If someone says they don't love you anymore you don't start bombarding them with cards, letters and songs and you certainly don't show up to their place of work like the OP plans to do.

    You're just making assumptions. For one, we don't know whether things were exactly the same the second time or whether it was new issues that got her to break it off again. You don't know that it will be the same in 6 months time. Some people need to be hit on the head a few times before things seek in, but sometimes when they do, they really do make the change. Who says he is refusing to learn from his mistakes. He clearly is since he is trying to do something he believes she would appreciate that he never did before. The problem is the timing, whether it might be too late. I wouldn't blame her if she has turned the page for good, but then OP said that she did say she still loved him (but she wasn't in love with him any more), so without knowing her or even have her putting her side here, who knows, she might be over the moon. He has nothing to lose by giving it one more go. I would even if I thought my chances were next to none, but then I'm tenacious and don't give up easily. That attitude has paid off many times in life (without ever be done for harassment :))

    Re-read the whole thread, she left because she was fed up of him not doing anything and making excuses, he promised to change and she went back and six weeks later he fell back into his old ways of not doing anything making excuses. Not assuming anything, just going by the OP's own words.

    The OP said after begging her for another go, she took him back, he changed for a few weeks then he slipped back and never made an effort again.

  • She has maybe gone off on holiday with new BF so wont actually receive the cards ;)

    I just want to know if Captain Charisma wears a cape. And undies over his trousers.

    (I really need a hobby, don't I? The devil makes work for idle brains.)
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
