Day 7: Thanks for all of your support.

I woke up this morning to an extreme outpour of support. I had never felt so good about what I’m doing here. The emails that I received were absolutely amazing. During this time I’ve only heard one negative comment. There’s always one in the bunch. I’m absolutely touched by every follower and every email of advice, support, or stories.

I’d like to share and respond to a few of my favorites. You’ll all remain anonymous… Just like me.

hey fifteendays!
Oh my god, I was reading your tumblr and I just think it’s the lushest thing ever! Whoever your girlfriend is, she needs to look up quick sharp and realise what a lovely guy she’s missing out on! All my hope is with you and I hope everything works out. So sweet, haha, Im proper jealous!

good luck, I’ll be following you!

Hi! I’m so happy you came across my blog. I really appreciate your support.

i just would like to say, that what you are doing is beyond admirable. i wish that every male human being would actually vocalize the way that you are; because that’s a very rare trait to have such utter honesty, especially in times of despair. i wish you nothing but the best, i wish your girl would vibe the words you write, and not just read but feel them- for everything they are from the bottom of your heart. i wish she would read the words i write now, so she knows how truly lucky she is to have someone willing to pour there everything out there, just to be at her disposal. that men, don’t really do that- and the fact that you’re willing to, is remarkable. i hope she realizes life moves so quickly and if you have something so strong with someone, and they break every wall down they have ever built in every year of existence just for you? that says something. that’s literally, all that life comes down to in the end is that. right there. she shouldn’t let this escape her.
good luck, if you need to talk- i am more than willing to help!


This is one of the best emails I’ve ever received in my life. I don’t get any things that touch me the way that this has. I’m so glad that you’ve been directed to my blog and took the time to write something like this. It’s inspiring in itself. I’ve gotten discouraged during my time writing here, but you’ve made it seem so worth it. Thank you.

I’m following you now. Sending love & support. I’m touched by what you’re doing. Just, wow, there’s actually a decent guy in this world. I’m pretty sure she’s gonna feel the same. I wish a guy would do this for me, FML.
Good luck!


Thank you! I’m sure there are plenty of decent men in the world. We’re just too shy to speak because when we come along, women have already had their heart broken and believe that we’re too good to be true. I hope you find someone to love you with all of their heart and would take the time out of their lives to do something just like this, if not grander. You deserve it.

After reading your blog I have come to the conclusion that I am going to leave my boyfriend. I have put up with nothing other than abuse from him, even after all of the love I showed him. I don’t know why I’ve stayed with him this long, but now I am free. Thanks to you. You’ve shown me that there are good guys out there. Amazing guys like you. And I’m going to get one. Thank-you so much for what your doing.
I hope this girl takes you back. I’ll be praying for your relationship to work.
Thanks again


Now, this isn’t the way that I intended to inspire love, but love is different for everyone. It could be self love. If I’ve given you a will to love yourself and know that you’re above it all, then I’m happy. Life is too short to spend it on people who don’t give a damn one way or another. You seem like a woman with a beautiful heart. If you need anything from me, please don’t hesitate to send another email. I’ll definitely be replying to you personally, just in case you don’t see this. You have all of my support in whichever you decide.

Your blog is truly touching to me.
I feel compelled. This is none of my business so excuse me if I sound out of line… You two fought. Maybe you can try saying “I’m sorry.” Idk wht the fights were about. Idk if you haven’t apologized yet…but maybe saying that you know you screwed up and are committed to doing better in the future will help.
My husband and I have overcome major trials and tribulations…before our relationship was even official. But we just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary [albeit on different ends of the country]. Love CAN conquer all…sometimes it just takes commitment along with the love.
Good luck. I truly hope she comes back to you.

I’m glad you’ve taken the time out of your day to email me. I especially love that you’ve given me advice. You know, a few years ago I would have never given a damn to apologize for anything I did. I felt like I was always justified. I made excuses as to why I was right and everyone in the world was wrong. Today, I’m a completely different man. I apologize before what I’ve done even has a chance to set it. Not because I want to avoid an argument, but because I don’t want her to feel any kind of way other than happy. As far as your marriage, I’m so happy for you! I’m one of those people who still believe in marriage. That’s really inspiring. I hope you spend many more years him!

I just came upon your tumblr. I think that what you’re doing is adorable and I really hope everything works out between you and her. You obviously really do care about her, and hopefully she and you will get through to her. Good luck and if you ever need anything, let me know!

Thanks! You’re the best, really. I’m glad you’re rooting for us!

To everyone else that sent me emails, I’ll definitely respond to you! You haven’t gone unnoticed, just like you didn’t let me go unnoticed. I’m so grateful for all of you.
