BAH!

This is not about ALL men, but one in particular.

I had been dating this guy from Oklahoma for almost a year. Everything seemed to be going OK. He and I were very busy and got together when we could. It was hard, but I decided that I liked him enough to have some patience with the whole busy thing. He didn't seem to mind driving down here to see me and seemed to understand that my finances did not permit me to drive to him. Then, one day, I decided I needed to be the one to drive up to see him because he had done enough of the traveling. I figured it was only fair. I told him I wanted to come see him and he said it would be great!

So, I made plans to drive up there. The day before I was supposed to go see him, he sends me a text message telling me to get on the IM program we used to communicate. There, he told me he had "bad news" because "some things came up for this weekend." I was rather upset and I told him a few days later just how much he had upset me by doing that. His only response was a very cold hearted "well, sorry, but things came up."

I got sick and didn't get online for a while, figuring that he would just call me on the phone if he wanted to talk. No phone call. When I felt better, I fired up my PC and logged on to the IM program, only to find no messages from him. He saw me online and said "I think we need to talk." And the rest is history. He dumped me for another woman he had apparently been seeing for who knows how long. I told him he should have told me this a long time ago and he said that he should have told me a MONTH ago because he had to make a "decision" that same weekend I was supposed to go see him.

What kind of shit is that? I wasn't aware I was in a contest. If it had been agreed that it was an open relationship to begin with, then it would have been OK. But he lead me to believe that it wasn't. So, I never dated ANYBODY the ENTIRE time I was seeing him. I WASTED MY TIME!! What a BASTARD!! It's not like I was dreaming of marrying him, one day. Maybe we would still be friends if he had just been HONEST with me in the first place! But, since I have a HUGE problem with dishonest people, I told him to lose my number and NEVER speak to me again.

CHRIST, what is wrong with people!?

I certainly hope he's happy with himself. And, I hope she does the same thing to him.

(Please, no 2 cents about long-distance relationships. They CAN work. This one happens to be one that didn't work thanks to someone not being able to keep his dick in his pants.)
