You can’t expect on demand what I freely don’t want to give!

Coercion or blackmail have no place in any kind of meaningful relationship!

By Stanley Collymore

 

I hate you; and nothing that you say or do in

a supposed atonement for your utterly

appalling behaviour towards

me will ever ameliorate for,

far less seriously persuade me

to forgive you for the incalculable

and intentional harm you’ve spitefully

caused me; damagingly inflicted

on my professional career

and callously done

to my personal

reputation.

 

And why? Because in your sick and somewhat

perverse mind you took great offence to

what you regarded as my audacity in

declining what you superciliously

considered as the ultimate in

marriage proposals to me and thus my

rejection of you: God’s gift, you

see yourself as, to all men and

someone I should have been

quite flattered to have in

my life, in the process;

never mind how I

actually felt

about you.

 

Namely, that I don’t love you nor want to have

anything to do with you. Something which

you’re well aware of; but despite that

constituted the only reasons, as far

as I can tell, for your proposing

to me; because you’re not

used to nor can you countenance the idea

of someone genuinely ignoring you

or what you truly and unhappily

represent. And, as such, can’t

accept the reality of that,

nor does your stubborn

conceit make it any

easier for you

to do so.

 

Therefore, you came up with your bogus offer

of us getting married, because you love me

you say �" how crass or insensitive can

one get? �" hoping no doubt that I’d be terribly

impressed, fall for it all and, accordingly,

change my mind and opinions towards

you; enabling you to gain the upper

hand and, as a result, be in a

prime position to exert

your full influence

and control over me.

Well you thought wrongly,

didn’t you? As none of

that could possibly have

happened, even if I

wasn’t already

in love with

someone

else.

 

But you’re so used to being the centre of

attention: having all manner of men

besottedly falling over themselves to

gain your attention or be favoured

by you, that the mere thought

of someone like me �" who you’ve

disappointedly realized you can’t

have and isn’t afraid to openly

tell you so �" constitutes for

you a situation that you

frighteningly find

inconceivable to

believe and

intolerable

to bear.

 

Consequently, out of a twisted desire for revenge �" by

getting your own back at me, so you think, for

having thrown this unexpected but decisive

spanner into the works of your conspiratorial plotting �"

you ludicrously concluded and delude yourself that

you’ve an absolute right to impugn my integrity

and what’s more additionally destroy me in

the process; hence your vitriolic vendetta

against me. Well, go ahead and do

your worst! For I’d rather, even

unreasonably so, prefer to be a

social pariah than to imaginably,

let alone wittingly, share

any part of my life

with an ogre

like you.

Remarks:

Love, it’s often alleged and invariably said, conquers all. But analogous to achieving success in any major military campaign and finally winning that particular war, every intelligent and accomplished protagonist of the heart well knows that the dispensing of together with the full utilization of moral forces themselves set alongside the scrupulous acknowledgement of and the undaunted conferring to the subject of one’s desire what’s unquestionably their basic and inalienable rights, are just some of the key aspects to ensuring the real likelihood of realizing a stable and commendable personal relationship. Not coercion or emotional blackmail!
