Jai
Eventually, I asked her to move to Pittsburgh. I offered to get her an engagement ring, but I knew she was still scared and that would freak her out. So I didn't pressure her, and she did agree to a first step: moving up and getting her own apartment. In April, I made arrangements to teach a weeklong seminar at UNC. That would allow me to help her pack up so we could drive her belongings up to Pittsburgh. After I arrived in Chapel Hill, Jai told me we needed to talk. She was more serious that I had ever seen her. "I can't come to Pittsburgh. I'm sorry," she said. I wondered what was in her head. I asked for an explanation. Her answer: "This is never going to work." I had to know why. "I just…" she said. "I just don't love you the way you want me to love you." And then again, for emphasis: "I don't love you." I was horrified and heartbroken. It was like a punch in the gut. Could she really mean that?
