I know my friends weren't always kind to you or respectful of our relationship, everyone told me you were no good and that I could do better. That was cruel of them and I'm truly sorry they acted like that at you. It makes me sad to think about how much it probably tore you up inside when they'd try to set me up with WordPress or when TypePad came over that one time and told you she was going to "take great pleasure in stealing your man."
Despite it all, I stuck by you because I believed in you and that we could work through our problems together. But I gotta tell you, it wasn't always easy staying with you. For every one of the good times we had together, lately there have been more and more days and weeks when you erase my posts, revert my template changes, or just plain ignore me. And we haven't published even the simplest post together in weeks now.
I've always tried to overlook your faults and give you the room you needed to grow in both our lives and our relationship... but I think it's pretty clear that things have changed since March and that you and I just don't feel the same way about each other as we once did.
As you well know I've been planning on re-doing my website for a while now, and at one time I wouldn't have even thought of doing that with someone else. But the past month has really been incredibly frustrating to me and my customers. And I honestly can't think of a nice way to phrase this... but baby, your customer service has been just nonexistent.
We're two very different kinds of people, you and I, and we want different things in our lives. I want my blog to get updated... and I don't even know what you want these days. You just sit on the couch and do nothing. You don't even talk to me anymore except to say that my publish is taking longer than expected and that if I want to continue I should "click here." That's just not working for me anymore.
I know you're going through some tough times recently, and that a whole lot of people are upset with you, but it's like you just don't even care about FTP anymore.
I really do hope you can get your problems worked out and that you'll find someone who you can have a great life of daily updates with, but it's not going to be me. I'm respectfully returning the nice "Powered by Blogger" badge my website has worn since we started seeing each other.
And I'm moving on.
I'm really sorry things had to end this way. |
