Another episode before end of the year

It started out as marvelous week, after my weekend getaway to Tahoe. San and I exchanged emails constantly and I missed her. So we decided to meet for dinner on Wed. I was suppose to come up to the city to meet her, but i couldnt get a ride to bart station. She suggested that she would drive down and we could find some place south to eat. How sweet of her. I told her to call me as she was driving down, so i could get ready. She never called and finally when we did, she was parked at the wrong building. Eventually, we met up, and she was in a foul mood. I greeted her with "thank you for picking me up." and She didnt say anything. She then let me have it with "did you know I've been waiting here for 20min. I want an apology from you." Thinking that I didnt get her call til recently and she was waiting at the wrong parking lot, why should I have to apologize for something that was not my fault. I could say it, and not really mean it, but what is the point in that. She then stopped the car, and asked me to get out and find a way home, unless I apologized. She told me how ill-mannered I was and how my parents didnt teach me any manners. Not only did she insult me but also my family honor. Additionally, I did not want to be left stranded so I apologized for something I felt was not my fault. She drove us to dinner as I was scheming for a way to go home without eating with her. We parked at the Brewery in Burlingame and we walked separately to the restaurant. I called for a ride home and she didnt find the restaurant. I sat and waited inside while she called and texted me like mad. I made it home and felt so sad and beaten mentally for doing nothing wrong.
The next day, we met at the therapist and went through the motion. I told her I would like to end the relationship. She only cared about herself and I have run out of patience. Her anger and half assed attitude towards this relationship have driven me away.
Today I only thought about her once awhile and sent one email her way. I need time to heal and love myself again. Its the holidays and I need my family and friends surrounding me who love me.
