If someone you love and really care for lets you down when you really really needed them...how would you handle it?
Would you just "get over it" and pretend it didn't happen...
Would you accept the fact that people can't always be there for you?
Would you feel differently about that person?

If you were "dating" this person..would it be something that may change your view of that person?

If someone lets you down when you need them most, then you may get a little upset at first, but then you realize that the lesson they are sending you is for you to to self reliant. You can't be too prepared in life, because things does happen. However, if it's someone you are dating, unless you get a bonafide reason why he couldn't help you, then he is showing you what the future hold for both of you..... which is not much according to the crystal ball.

I think we may all let down those we love from time to time, not from lack of love or caring, but because we are too tired, stressed, or otherwise challenged. Everyone deserves a second chance when these factors derail our relationships.hug

I agree with Jonquille. Sometimes we have issues of our own and never realize the others needs us. Maybe talk with this person again and see how it goes and if things don't change then maybe its time to move on.

Ofcousre at first you are hurt,and this is ok,but when your head is clear,you come to realize that once again the one you can always count on is you.Does it change how one feels,for me my feelings are not like a water faucet,however I tend to be a little more carefull with what I expect.
However changing how you where can be merly the begining of the end,so you have to take into consideration what it was you where counting on,and there reason they where unavailable,because who wants to have a wedge between them,something that so often happens,like your adding up points for disappointment,and time is too valualbe and besides love does have compromise.....

I had a person let me down in a very big way. I was dating this guy from England he had come here and we had been together for a year. I phoned him up one day to talk about the fact my best friend had just called me and told me that she had cancer. So I call him and ask him to come talk to me on the comp he never did I called back to his house no answer I haven't talked to him since this was 4 years ago. He never called or spoke to me after that either so I guess I had to move on and stop wondering why thi happened but it has made me wary of online dating ever since.

If I feel that somebody lets me down I can't just get over it and forget it didn't happen. I realize that people cannot always be there for you. But if the reason for the letdown seems more like a poor excuse I would feel differently towards that person. Especially if they don't understand how your feelings are affected by the letdown.

And Sunnygirl, I don't know what to call it but letdown sounds way to nice for something like that hug

He couldn't be there for you when it had to do with your friend illness, therfore he couldn' be there for you if you were ill also. He is what we called running scared.

well as for myself...I will always be there for people around but in the other hand, I will never expected nobody to be there for me

People has no words and you can't wait for nobody...if they are there fine but if they are not fine as well ...

For a long time now, I have no expectation on people. I just accept them as they are. Being happy to see when they are there and not surprise when they are not.

Hi Wikked,

Yes, i would view it as a personal snub. I mean, if this "person" cares about you - be it an actual frienbd or lover - then it means that you put your trust in them to always be there for you and they are not...well, my view about them would definitely be altered, be it a 'friend' or a lover.

Friendship is what you count on when times get rough, not ignorance.scold
