Yesss exactly. If you really loved me you wouldn't want me to feel like crap. And what amount of pride is provided from manipulating someone into staying with you even after they don't love you anymore? You're only begging for a relationship of misery and resentment.
Personally, I'm not a chaser and I never have been. If you don't want me, I don't want you either. It's easier that way, because 9 times out of 10 they come back anyway, realizing how miserable it is in a world without me LOL
True, we can't build a healthy relationship on shaky foundations; as they say :)
