The Battle of Who Could Care Less

           Do you not hear me anymore?
           I know it's not your thing to care
           I know it's cool to be so bored       
          It sucks me in when you're aloof
          It sucks me in, it sucks it works
          I guess it's cool to be alone.
         

Ben is singing to me today. 

I am having a bit of a pity party. I just read Ms. I's beautiful a lifeguard chair, a glass of wine.  I want that.  I thought the Boss and I could have it.  We have been friends for a very long time. The Boss was going to get a room for us and we were going to spend the day playing.  I wait for him.  8am, 9am, 10am, 11am.  No word from the Boss.  I know what this means.  If he were a casual AM friend, I would shrug it off and not care but this his game. 

I text him.  Oops.  He worked late last night and forgot.  Shoot. He was really looking forward to it. 

I pretend it is okay, but it is not. He neglects me because he knows he can.  He has before.  He ignores me and then uses me when it suits him and I allow it.   Disappointment and regret have no place in an affair and therefore, it is time to move on from the Boss.  After many many years, it is time to call an end to this battle.

When he senses you're walking away, he'll come running...

As my dad used to say "people only dick (!) you around as much as you let 'em".

Although, the reality is, walking away is damn hard. I feel for you and hope you find satisfaction with whatever course you take.

Thank you both. It is difficult and I may relapse, but in this moment, I am done with him.

Ms. Inconspicuous said...

That is *beyond* rude.

You deserved better. Don't let your resolve weaken!

Thanks...I am stronger than this. Just a moment of weakness but it is over.
