Caught Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea

August 28th, 2008 Posted in I'm A Tool

Dear Bitter Single Guy: I have been with someone kinda for the past year and a half. I say kinda because he travels all the time and i see him maybe once in 3 months and sometimes longer. At first I was ok with this but eventually i got tired of playing second fiddle to his job so I started trying to talk to him about it; for over 8 months without success. He wasn’t there for me when both my parents died, he never calls me at Christmas or on my birthday and he always refuses to take me out. Inevitably I have met someone else who loves me and cares for me deeply. Someone who appreciates me and I can almost call my soul mate. I was getting ready to dump the other guy when he came around finally and was ready to talk about things but while my feelings for him are no longer the same, it still exists to some extent and now i am caught between the two of them. I know it seems kind of obvious what to do but i am still apprehensive and scared for some reason i can’t explain. What do i do? ~Between a Rock and a Hard Place~

Dear BRHP: The Bitter Single Guy and you both know that this is easy. Dump the guy you’ve ‘kinda’ been with. You know him, right? The one who doesn’t call you on your birthday or holidays, the one who doesn’t take you out, the one you only see every few months, the one who wasn’t supportive of you when your parents died (really, BRHP?).  That one, right? Dump his sorry ass. You’ve been a doormat for him long enough. (The BSG feels strongly about basic participation in a relationship, as you can see.).  You’d be better off alone, but instead of being alone, you’ve found a nice guy! You’re done. ~BSG~
