I am not seeing him anymore. His wife left him because she was jealous of his friends. This is what he told me. I now know that she left because he liked to go out with his friends more than he liked spending time with her. He called me last Saturday and said he was out until 3:00 in the morning with his friends. Then he told me he would call me the next day, but it was two days before I heard from him. He said he was sorry he didn't call, but he was busy. He hasn't grown up yet. I used to make all kinds of crazy excuses instead of seeing reality, but not this time. There are other incidents that made me feel something was not right. His behavior in the beginning was great, but shortlived. It seems to me that a lot of men have a sense of entitlement. That's how my father was growing up. My Mom was expected to keep the house in perfect condition, take care of the children, make dinner, and not complain when he was out screwing around with other women and drinking with his buddies. I want a guy who does not drink, loves children, and is just a pleasant person who cares about my feelings. I will not settle for another man who only cares about his feelings only.
I will try and post some tonight when I get home from class. I will post one from Dilemma of the Alcoholic Marriage. I won't be home until after 10 pm.
Thanks for asking about me. I never think anyone ever notices me. I guess that stems from childhood.
