Left Behind and Forgotten

Dear Renaissance Woman,

What do you do when your boyfriend leaves you? My boyfriend hasn't called, text-ed or been home for the past two weeks. It's like he dropped off the face of the earth. Do I assume things are over between us, do I dump him or wait for him to contact me? Is it something I did wrong?

Sincerely,
Left Behind


Dear Left Behind,


First, from the sounds of it there is nothing that you have done wrong. Trust me I know. I once dated a guy who thought that I cheated on him so then he left me, and cheated on me. When all I had done was go with him on his hero's journey to go kill a dragon. Guys can be so dimwitted. Trust me. That guy I was telling you about, he ended up dating this girl who was totally using him to destroy his soul. Talk about blind love. Sounds like your guy is similar. My advice is to just move on. Don't call him or text him. If he calls you polite inform him that you are no longer inclined to date him because you deserve to be treated with respect and not making contact with you for two weeks shows that he obvious is over your relationship too.

Sincerely,
Una 



Historical side not: Una was a character in Edmund Spencer’s The Faerie Queen which was an allegory for many things, largely of which was how Elizabeth 1 detested the Catholic church and in that time so did many others in England. Una is not a real person and was meant to symbolize the one true faith and her “boyfriend” was Redcross who represented holiness. Although separated from “the faith” Redcross eventually sees the errors of his ways and returns to Una.
