You are so sweet. Thank you for caring, but, honestly, don't you fret - I have no problems. Thank you for asking, though.
You posted some strange stuff suggesting that someone had been terribly hurt and angered by someone finding something out about them that caused them to end what you, by omission, characterized as a possibly romantic relationship.
So, what it looks like is that a man is angry with a woman who just wants to be a friend with you, not a lover, and he's pissed because she told him she found out something about him that he didn't want her to know.
Sucks, but that's how it goes sometimes. And your posting it here - "Because" - suggests you're looking for responses. Or maybe you just needed to get it off your chest and DU was handy. DU is good for so many things. When I had a virus hit my desktop, the good DUers in the Computer forum not only identified the problem, they walked me through the whole clean-up process, and fixed it for me! So, I am with you that DU is good for just about anything you might want or need.
Maybe nothing happened, and you just felt like typing some lines. Maybe you're just pretending to be a guy who got dumped by a desirable woman because it's fun to pretend that.
Or maybe you got dumped.
Or they're the lines to a blank verse poem that you especially like.
You just posted it "Because," but doesn't posting on a message board usually involve messages?
OH, I GET IT!
It was a secret message to someone on DU who was a snoop or a sneak or who went through personal stuff because she suspected you were a liar and she found something that affirmed her suspicions and told you that she just wanted to be your friend - which is girl-talk for "Kiss Off, Sucker."
And you're betting that she's going to see this and feel ashamed, because she never should have done that in the first place, going through someone's personal stuff. Unless it was a matter of asking someone else - a third party - something about you, and when she got that information and asked you if it was true, and you said it was, then she backed away from you with that "let's be friends" line.
Or else you're just running a story line for a novel you're planning to write, and you're looking to see what kinds of responses you get, just for fun, a way of helping you with the outline you'll do when you have a clearer idea of what the narrative arc of that novel is and where it end up.
Or maybe you heard this happened to a friend of yours, and it was a girl you never really liked who did it to him, and you're angry about that, so you just decided to air it here, because you're feeling so bad for your friend, who really, really liked this girl, but she turns out not to be who he thought she was. She's just a snoop. Or a sneak.
Or maybe someone was out to sabotage a man who was just starting a really good relationship with a woman, and told her stuff that the man didn't want her to know, and she asked him about it, and found out it was true, and she ended it there. That would suck, if that happened, but it sounds like a stretch, even to me.
Or you're remembering an old family story about a relative who was madly in love with a woman, but who had a shameful secret in his past - his distant past - that no one except a very few knew about. And the woman went looking, as women do, to find out all she could about this man with whom she was falling in love. When she learned this deep secret, she drew back, because it's really an awful secret, and now the man - your distant relative - has lived his life alone, never marrying, and no one knows what the secret was any more, nor do they know what happened to the woman. But he knows, because he loved her and always kept track of her, and even now, in his old age, he carries her picture in his wallet. No one ever asks to see his wallet, so no one knows it's there.
Or else you read about this in a book you're really enjoying, and it moved you so much, you just had to post about it. This would make sense in the Lounge - almost like an LBN in the Lounge, because it was so moving and so dramatic and so heartbreaking.
Or maybe it's just something you were thinking about, with absolutely no people involved, and you decided to air it because you thought maybe someone would tell you a secret, something that no one would ever know about them unless someone snooped.
But wait. I just got caught up in the rhythm of the most enjoyable part of writing for TV - and that is to sit around with one basic premise - how about a guy with a secret that his girlfriend finds out about and she breaks up with him? - and then all the writers throw out all sorts of scenarios.
One of my most favorite things about that line of work. The deadlines, they weren't nearly as much fun, but it paid very well.
Do I have a problem with anything on a message board? Hell, no. I'd have to care to have a problem. This is nothing but play and screwing around, and it's strictly fun. Otherwise, why do it?
