I'd really like to hear what this wonderful pitch was going to be.

We honestly had the definition of a roller coaster relationship. Extremely high highs with amazing sex, great time hanging out on the town, travelling the world, fancy dates followed by extremely painful bouts of yelling, emotional incompatibility, callousness, and all sorts of hurtful behavior. Then we'd make up and get back to the highs, and so on

My plan was just to show her some of the highs that we have by taking her out/treating her well, so she could see what she was giving up, but also to moderate that with some serious conversation about some of the insights I've learned about why we fight so much and so hard, and some of the changes I think we would need to take to fix it. I wanted to let her know that she was important to me, and that I was prepared to do whatever it takes to make this thing work.

Did I think she was going to be convinced? Not at all. I thought maybe I had a 20% chance of convincing her. I would have been shocked if she took me back, knowing how stubborn she was.

But all I was asking for was two nights to make my case, and then I was ready to give it up and move on. I made this perfectly clear to her numerous times. And now I feel completely duped.
