Broke up with a girlfriend with almost that exact line once. "I'm trying to get my life in order. I have to fix my mistakes. I can't do that and maintain a relationship. This is not a priority in life right now, my focus is elsewhere."

You reply "that's OK, I've been banging loads of other priorities during our relationship"

I feel like I'm never hip enough to understand what's happening around me.

Did this recently with podcasts. I subscribe to so many, that they were banking up.
One I sadly unsubscribed to was Comedy Bang Bang... Not listened to one in a couple of months.. Like it, but there is just so much I can listen to a comedian talking in a silly voice before it gets annoying. Prefer the TV show where you get these characters in much shorter doses.

So here's the story...
I used to be engaged like 5,6,7 something years ago. At any rate, I haven't heard from my ex in about 2 years or so. She moved on, I moved on, whatever.
And then a little more than two months ago, she calls me to see how I am doing. I am cautious of course, but I'm open to talking... whatever. After a few days of texting and phone calls, I ask her why she has reached out to me now... and she doesn't a reply.
We don't talk for about a month, and then she calls me again. I ask her out to lunch to talk in person because this way I know at least I'll get a straight answer or whatever... and she agrees. We meet for brunch and end up spending the whole day together. It was a fun day, but I learned that she was going through some issues and what not. I guess I was the only one that truly supported her and she needed me. She started texting me every morning and we kept talking... and I made sure not to allow feelings to happen. I did something begin to rekindle though, and I did feel good while I was talking to her. We then plan a day at Disney, which was last Friday. It was an amazing day, and that original connection I had with her so many years ago was there. I haven't had that connection with anyone else since.
As an aside, I have dated since we broke up, but I hadn't had a decent relationship since. Just throwing that out there.
So, Disneyland happens, a great night ending with fireworks and all that magic... and then Saturday I initiate a conversation about where I'm at in life and what I want out of my life. Everything seems fine, and she tells me about how much she cares about me and whatever.
And then that night, we plan to go out to Sushi tonight. That was the last time we really talked until Thursday night. All week she didn't respond to me or initiate contact with me. When we finally did talk, she mentioned that she will probably not be going with me to sushi. I figured we could reschedule... and asked her why she hadn't responded to my texts or whatever and if she was ignoring me for any reason. At least be honest with me... and that's when she said that she wasn't ignoring me and that she is going through a lot right now. And that I was not a priority in her life at the moment. That is why she hadn't gotten back to me.
I told her that I guess my mistake was making her a priority in my life again, and that at least I've learned a lesson.
I know there's a reason WHY we broke up many years ago; I know that things can never be the same. I know this. I also know that for a few weeks there, it felt great to be able to connect with someone again on that other level that I've been searching for all these years.
Could I have been closing myself off to connecting with anyone else this whole time? Possibly. Should I have even answered her call and supported her through her troubles? Probably not. It has been a very weird week for me... and I didn't need these games to be played. My uncle just had a heart attack last weekend and then I spent Father's Day visiting my dad's gravesite. It's been a tough time for me, and I didn't have time for her to be this way.
If there is anything I can pull away from all of this is that she introduced me to Snapchat and for the past few days I've been making myself up to be super hero's on the My Story feature. Today I was Batman... haha. Although, for someone that says that I'm not a priority in her life, she sure does view each of My Snap Chat Stories within minutes of me posting them, no matter what time I do.
BTW, I know there are red flags everywhere. I know. Just throwing out a side of me that I don't really want to share with family or friends for that matter.
ALSO! I had a girl hit me up that she just ended her relationship Sunday and wanted to go out and have some fun with me... and I turned her down. Partly because of the things I'm going through at the moment, and partly because of the feelings that I have for my ex that rushed back to the forefront.
I like to think that I haven't been waiting for the last few years for her to call me, and I do think it is a bit selfish to call me out of nowhere because she needed help when she was down. When I was at my lowest point, she wasn't there for me. And that stung, too. Call me stupid (well, not really or I'll warn you for flaming) but there is some compassion beneath all of this awesomeness. Or empathy. Something mushy, at least.

Whatever's your most hated music genre, make a song about what happened and how it makes you feel in that style. Include the line "That jumping bean don't jump no more" in the chorus and enjoy your Grammy awards.

You big ol softy. Yeah you are mushy and knowing you you probably ARE waiting on her let's just be honest with ourselves. I did the same with mine. It's whatev's. I had to google what Snap Chat is.
Not like I can give any advice as your drama is never quite the same as mine it's not like I have any better ideas in this whole stupid game of love than you do.
Yeah, red flags I know you know to see them so no point on even beating you over the head about that. Just... I don't even know man.
f*** it go play laser tag.

The movie IS grand but I was recommending the ice cream, though you know that and are just diverting my post to something else like some sort of pirateer of threads. Hmm. Come up here we can go drag racing.

I had a big wheel as a kid.
One of the two big items my mom ever bought for x-mas as a youngin (the other being Game Boy).
First time out in my neighborhood I was so proud of myself zoomin up my favorite hill on the sidewalk. If you pedal too fast the crappy plastic fake trades lose traction and you kinda free spin but it makes this awesome noise so it's kick ass ya know? Anyways I'm spinning as fast as possible up this hill and one of the older neighbor boys, he was a big kid, he says nice big wheel kid and puts his foot on the tire and just pushes me back down the hill and I backed up into a bush.
I cried.

HAHAHAHAHA! That is awesome! I wasn't allowed to go more than 2 houses in either direction from my house with my Big Wheel. No hills, but it still did the skidding.
I did have free reign in my backyard though, and once the seat broke off of that guy, it became a scooter. So much fun on that bike.

I grew up in a low income government funded apartment complex that was wide and long not tall like the Jefferson's, so it was it's own awesome community. I was there at a good time to grow up because there were a ton of kids so I got to experience suburban living in a miniature form.
It's why I love The Sandlot so much, that shit was my kind of life for years because we had this grass court in the center of the first half of the apartment complex.
Our backstop was the laundry room, our home plate was a sprinkler not from from the door of that at the beginning of the grass. First was the water control box and second which was not far off from first (our diamond was more of a trapezoid but this is sandlot rules so we had our own setup) and that was a sewer cover. The trip to third was a LONG distance to a light post. If you ever managed to steal that you were considered the f***ing ma all day long even during foot ball or the supersoaker fights.
Anyways like I said it was in a court so we had to worry about windows so we played with tennis balls to not break anything We'd piss off some neighbors but no one minded cause we were a bunch of old school boys being old school boys.. Ever hit a tennis ball with a baseball bat? It's the most satisfying thing ever.
