Hopeless situation

[mortensorchid]

I have shared some of this on the Dating forum threads through the last year. Last year, I was with this guy for about 6 months, he broke it off in March of last year. His excuse? He told me that every woman he's ever been with has broken if off because of his bad behaviors and that wasn't going to happen again. Hmmm ... I have no doubt that is true, but I found that to be a rather loser thing of him to say and do. I thought initially that it was because he didn't want to take things to the next level, but I was wrong on that one. After I had seen him a few other times, he called one day to tell me that he had a new girlfriend (a scant four months later, I might add).

 

He was with me for six months, he never said "I love you". He was with this woman for six weeks and he had already said "I love you" to her. I think in about that same amount of time, he also moved in with her. He was looking for someone to take care of him, since he was living at his mom's house he was looking for me to say "move in with me" and I didn't make such an offer (because how well can you know someone after six months).

 

His girlfriend, meanwhile, actually called me about a month ago and told me to stay away from him and how dare I send a text message or email or whatever else to her man. I was speechless. This guy was an Alpha Male aka Bad Boy (more fun than a barrel of monkeys, a tornado in the sack, but it got old real fast when he was getting into fist fights, throwing chairs through windows, and calling for bail money), but he became a spineless wimp because of her? Not quite. I realized that he has to do what his Mommy tells him because she's paying his bills, washing his clothes, cooking his food, etc. I'm sad, for both myself and the situation. This isn't going to work out, but that's not the first mistake he's made and it won't be the last either. And that won't be the first demand she will put on him, and it won't be the last either. In the meantime I've been the bait who was cut.
