That last letter by No Name Given, for example. It's not about being bothered or not. It's about the intensity of the hung up feelings, AND the behavior of making her feel like shit for months and months, with no end in sight, short of a break up. Yes, the BF has a right to be bothered, but he has no right whatsoever to make her feel like shit about it. It's fucked up. He needs to go find some virginal church mouse if he wants to be happy.
It's speaks volumes about the guy that he'd rather stay in the relationship and make her feel like shit, than honor his own feelings and leave her and find someone whom he's more compatible with. As I said before, what an immature baby.
