Okay, but it's not like you're in a position to say, "See? it all turned out for the best." She's probably not friends with her ex either, right? She may forgive you in time but right now she is just not ready, nor does she have a reason to do so. Let it be and stop trying to win her over.

And in case you were tempted, do not send her an anniversary card either.

Forgive?
Sure, In time. Forgiveness just takes a little understanding and setting aside my feelings to understand yours.

Forget?
No..
It's not my policy to ignore who and how people are just becuase I would wish them to be a different person.

You would not be my friend or would I bother to associate with you anymore as a result. Trust is the key component in any realtionship romantic or not...and I would want nothing to do with a person who I had no trust in...let alone someone who I DID have trust in and got burned as a result of placing my trust with them.

You may live and learn and change your ways, and that is wonderful but I wouldn't not allow myself to be close enough to you to be called friend to know this.

You have to learn you had your chance, you made your choices. You have no options left here. You have your answers from them and now you have to work on accepting them.

I dont know if she still "friends" with her ex. Is that how guys gets women sometimes? By winning them over? Like I've said the one big reason I cant get over it because she is friends with other members of my family. Moving out of this small town that I live in isn't going to help the situation. They will still be friends

My apologies. My use of the term "dude" is not gender specific. Either way. Not they are not interested. I've had experiences where I parted friends and broke up, that means I'm not interested in talk, texting, face booking or hanging out. I laugh when I receive those friends requests. They are promptly deleted.

No. Once I am friends with someone, it would take a huge betrayal to get me to cut ties--and what you did is a huge betrayal. You may regret doing it, and hurting me, and I might eventually forgive you for my own sake so as not to harbor anger, but I would and could not be friends with you again. I'd probably not respond to your emails and I'd probably never speak to you again unless it was a hello and a nod for propriety's sake at a wedding or funeral or something.

SD4020, I'm a Dudette, not a Dude

What do you mean you can't? You don't have a choice.

She speaks to you in public because she has to in a small town. She would probably like to tell you to f**k off.

You better let it go or you will find yourself on the receiving end of a restraining order or maybe a gun.

You do live out in an area(from your other posts) where people most likely carry. Wise up already.

I dont think she'll whip out a gun at me. She's not that kind of person. I don't see how the Judge iwould approve a restraining order on sending her a few texts and a card. I never threatened her and never will. You're missing the point, I know I betrayed her trust but it hurts me to see that shes friends with members of my family

No, you're missing the point. What you're doing is harassment/stalking.

If you don't stop it, you may see a restraining order. You don't have to threaten someone directly to have one taken out against you, the other person has to feel like you're bothering them in a harassing manner, and that is what you're doing. And you mailed her evidence....LOL. She can go to the cops and say "I have tried to block this person on my phone, and they sent this card. This person is stalking me".

And they didn't betray her trust, did they, that was YOU.

Maybe she is doing it on purpose, who knows. Doesn't really matter.

You need to leave her alone.

Nope I would never be your friend again. Doing something like that speaks to your character. You may have changed, wonderful. However I wouldn't let you back in my life.

As for her sister, she maybe has to see her often and had to figure out a way to deal with her. You don't know what her thoughts and feelings towards your sister truly are.
