My heart is bleeding as I start this blog. A 2-and-a-half-year relationship is coming to an end. And all because her mum insists that I'm not the one for her, or so she said.

The whole thing seems like a scene right out from one of those Taiwan soap operas. Boy likes girl who comes from a rich family. They ended up together, thinking that they could beat the odds and live happily after. Then evil mum tries all means to break them up. Slowly, Girl can't take the pressure anymore. Girl told Boy that she's giving up what they have painstakingly built over the past 2 years. Girl assures Boy that its not because of any 3rd party, but Boy knows better. Evil mum is not the only reason. Besides, Girl has been dropping hints that Boy either failed or refused to catch. Girl did mentioned to him that there are guys interested in her. Girl smsing one of the guys when she's with Boy. She even said something along the line of 'If anything were to happen, it will be better to happen in courtship than in marriage.'

It has been a month since she initiated to break up over the phone. She hardly calls anymore and only sms me when I sms her. The tone was cold and distant. We agreed to meet and talk things out but she's always busy.

ME: 'Hi. How's everything?' --- Lame question. What did I expect the answer to be?
HER: 'Ok... busy' --- I was like, umm that's all?
ME: 'Any chance of having lunch and dinner this week?'
HER: 'I dunno, I'll let you know again k?' --- The call never came.

Friends offered different advice. Some told me to hang on. Talk to her, let her know your
feelings and your thoughts. Afterall you guys have been together for so long and you always look so happy together.

Others said to let go. The road ahead is too difficult and her mum is always gonna be the problem.

I thought of hanging on too. I kept thinking of all those happy moments that we shared. But the reality is, the girl I know has changed. If mum is really the problem and if she loves me like she said she does, then why is she avoiding me and why had she suddenly turned into a stranger?

I dunno if my gut feelings are correct or am I being over sensitive, that she might already had fallen for someone else. Last night, I dropped her a long email, baring my inner most feelings about us. She has not replied.

I told her in the email that I will be waiting for her at a designated place at a designated time. If she turns up, then we will have that overdue talk and maybe we'll be able to work things out. If she doesn't, then I guess I will have to let her go, though painful as it might be.
