May 2025 – Ps I love you
22 May 2025 – I have not seen Phoenix this week, because today is the only day he suggested he could see me, but I had two 2-hour meetings with my team & assumed that the team would have lunch together, but no one mentioned it & we were all going our separate ways, so I tell him that he can come see me, after last night & my responses today, I would assume he would jump at the chance to come see me – didn’t he say he wants to see me as much as he can?! But he says, “Yeah just call me, I would of been way more organised and starting painting straight away if I knew you were free. I also have no showered today yet haha. and I can smell myself haha”. I can’t say I’m not disappointment that he just didn’t rush around like I fucking do, jumping in the car to make the effort, even bringing him a drink & usually food with very little notice. But we have been talking on the phone a lot & the face to face catch up – especially the sexless ones are dwindling unless I go to his work…
It’s weird, it started off with a few phone calls here & there, to every second day or so, to now it’s every lunch. We’ll call each other & I will go for a walk at lunch & talk for 30 minutes on the phone via snapchat calls, I can pretty much go on my break at any time if I don’t have meetings, so when he is at lunch we’ll call each other, so it’s become our thing… I don’t know though if he has just fallen into a pattern of calling just because that’s what you do in a relationship or if he really enjoys talking absolute bullshit with me. But the fact he hasn’t really being making an effort to see me for these so called sexless dates, its just very perplexing… Why did he start them & make such a big fucking deal about them, make me want them & then pull back on them? Yet he’d sent me a meme that reminded him of me, which is today’s heart…

Am I just a friend?!
I try after our call to organise a time next week, for a few hours or a day but he’s being non-committal & saying that Monday’s are risky but he could see me on the weekend… Well it’s Thursday, I am talking about next week, so is he not going to see me for over a week?! Again, didn’t he say that he was going to try to see me as much as possible?! I just don’t know what is going on here… Why is he making me now feel like I’m some sort of obligation… He’s seen me on Monday’s plenty of times…
I’m trying to chat as normal as I can, telling him that I have told a few people at work I’m seeing someone that he is a FIFO who has his kids on the weeks he’s home, that I’ve known him for years… But I am barely getting any sort of responses from him that evoke the conversation, when he takes over an hour to reply, from my messages before 4:00pm, around 5:30pm he says, “I’m heading offline, I’ve got work tomorrow so will chat then but need to be up early so will go to bed early. so night IBD4U xxc.” & he’s gone…
23 May 2025 – When I write, I sometimes write as things happen, I sometimes just write notes. Sometimes I write it as a diary, just as I am now. This is how I feel now, while I write it, not necessarily how I feel every day or how I will feel tomorrow, or if I will every feel like this again. But I write tonight feeling low, sitting in his jumper which is already losing his smell.
But this week, I’ve got my period, the week at work is awful – I am having to do something at work that I am vehemently against, yet somehow I have to run the process & it just seems insane to me that my boss also doesn’t agree with the process but her solution was for me to give it to someone else in the team. I said to her that it’s not a solution & I am not doing that. So not seeing Phoenix along with giving up the gym & trying to take the dogs for walks when I get home & doing a Pilates program on my phone, I am sick of being fat. Because of course Phoenix wife is on some weight loss injection & doesn’t eat & she now weighs less than me, I don’t know if telling me I am sexier & have a better body is helping because I have put on weight on my legs & hips which I can’t shift. He even told me this weekend I have fat legs. (maybe not quite like that but it stuck with me) But now she’s skinny, he doesn’t need me…
So I have some left over weight loss injection that was so expensive so I haven’t thrown it out but one that gave me awful side effects, like almost instantly, I get heartburn that makes me vomit & I get constipated straight away. But nevertheless, I started injecting the daily dose every second day to try to keep the side effects down but promote some weight loss. Dr Phoenix has told me, “Ohhh. They all have bad side effects…haha. That’s what helps lose weight. But it appears to make alot of people sick all of them.” I am not feeling great & hating that this strained conversation with Phoenix has been going on for almost a month now, I snap, “Other ones didn’t make me feel as bad as this one. Your wife has tried one, it doesn’t make you an expert.”
Despite seeing him last Saturday & Sunday, fucking at my house for a few hours & then in the car, it’s starting to be more distant. I have been waiting for it to go back to how it was, sporadic messaging, catching up once a month, but he’s been fairly consistent but the logging off without a goodbye & not coming back is taking its toll. We made an agreement, that we don’t say ‘I love you’ to each other as a transaction. I don’t want him to have to say it to me, every fucking time he sees me or every time he speaks to me. I don’t want it to be an obligatory thing that you say that loses all meaning. But right now, he hasn’t said it to me via text since the 13 May 2025 & I can’t recall him telling me in person since before then either. I don’t just know because I save our chats & have gone back to confirm, I know because he is he only partner who has ever said it to me that I remember when he says it because I don’t hear it very often & it means a lot to me.
The disconnect, paired with him either saying goodbye really early like today it was around 3:30pm (even though he said he didn’t want to say goodbye when I finish work, when I tried to instigate it) & said that he probably wouldn’t come back online tonight or even not even saying goodbye at all, pretty much since the night he ‘fell asleep’, he’s seemingly pulling away. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I am just a master of self sabotage, things started going well in my love life, but things started going shit everywhere else so I sabotage the only good thing in my life. Is this the only good thing in my life? Maybe I put this out in the universe but I think it was inevitable. The more I say it pisses me off, the more he pulls back & doesn’t give a fuck if he loses me or not. I don’t want to feel this way, I don’t like that he logs off & when this all first started he’d find cheeky ways to message me, but lately, he doesn’t. Does that mean he doesn’t care? Does that mean he doesn’t want too? Does that mean that he genuinely doesn’t get an opportunity? Does it mean that he’s fucking her? Or does it mean I should accept the ever insulting reply that he’s ‘busy’?
There are times when he sends me a meme – one the other day said ‘Sometimes you just need a secret friend to pound the living fuck out of you’ or ‘the best sex comes from someone you are not supposed to be fucking’ I am reminded that he sees something & thinks about me. So why doesn’t he want to come back online at night to talk to me? Why doesn’t he find time to message me cheekily? Is it because he knows I get angry when he doesn’t say that he’s going offline? Does he think I don’t remember him telling me he can’t jerk off when I was sending pictures to him but he was in bed with her. Does he think I don’t remember him using snapchat on the web to sneakily chat to me on his computer? Does he think I don’t remember when he used one of his weird Gameboy things to message me sneakily? Does he think I don’t remember when he wanted to chat to me & not take me for granted?
I knew that he had snapchat hidden in a secure folder on his phone so I didn’t know until he had mentioned a while ago that he deletes it & reinstalls it even though it’s hidden, just as he did with the chat app many years ago. He tells me that she found the folder last time she went through his phone. I ask when she last went through his phone & he says that it’s not that often but she has gone through it. I’m not gonna lie, I hope she does find our snapchat conversation, there is no way he can talk his way out of that if she finds it. He won’t be able to whittle our relationship down to a couple of months because it’s all saved on there – that’s not why I save it. I save it because I want to look at it later & write about it.
24 May 20205 – He sends me a picture of something at his work that I have wanted for a while & asks if I am coming to see him this morning – maybe he did mean this weekend? I go to his work to buy what I want but realise I don’t have coins for a trolley so I want for him to have his break & we walk in together, he gets me a trolley & then he won’t serve me on checkout.
I am trying so hard, I feel like I am putting in effort, I feel like I trying despite feeling distance to chat to him & think of things to say, I am him “⚠️ Do you want to hear a teanager girlfriend fact?” & he says sure, “Tomorrow, it’ll be 90 days since A3v2.0 kicked off… 3 month anniversary!” I think that he might say Happy Anniversary as a joke being he didn’t say it to me on our actual anniversary but instead after hardly messaging me at all today – I know we saw each other today, but was just his lunch break in my car, that I get “haha that is cute. I’m off to bed. night xx”
25 May 2025 – He sends me two memes, one for me & one that is him. I couldn’t agree with either more, but I say to him that he’d never make it to 11:42pm… I never sleep well, so many that’s why I struggle to understand someone falling asleep before they get a chance to say goodnight to their girlfriend.


We barely message today, I go to his work again for his lunch break. I feel so stupid when I make such an effort & all he does now is call me for my breaks, so why the fuck do I go see him? Because I realised the other day he hasn’t said I love you & just my mood this week, I mention to him that he hasn’t said it in almost two weeks. I said I didn’t want it to be a habit, he’d said he only wanted to say it when he felt it… So does he not feel it? Because I’d rather know that if he can’t handle my moods, lets end it now or just go back to being Marvel with monthly fucking.
When I am driving home he messages me “Ps I love you.” I say that he is a dick & he says that I loved it & it made me tingle, but I say “I’d love it if you meant it.” I don’t want him to say it because I brought it up… Fuck I know I am confusing but he was saying it all the fucking time & now I can’t even get him to chat to me & seem interested. “I do fuckin mean it!” but it’s not how he’s making me feel “Literal Phoenix this week ‘I do like talking on the phone with you. Bye I’m not coming back tonight.’” But he says “I am an old tired man. We did chat during the day the entire week! And a couple of nights earlier. You just have selected memory.” Oh yeah, I remember him not less than two months ago reading my blog over & over & sending me a whole A4 page rant & message upon message, to it dwindling & I literally feel like if I didn’t put in any effort, like I have done this week, we barely have two A4 pages for the whole fucking day! “Sorry for having an actual boyfriend for the first time in 18 years, in a unconventional relationship so I can’t be with him more than a few hours, so I want more text time but he’s an old man that prefers to sleep.” He says that he hates falling asleep, I mean I think he has a health issue, no one could fall asleep that easily every fucking night, even if they don’t have to get up early. I say goodnight because I am not waiting around for his early goodnight that will piss me off, but of course, he says, “Ahh okay. I was awake tonight dammit. Goodnight” Ah, of course he was & I’m expected to be available for him!
