But, the bf person and I are trying to fix things with the relationship. Maybe it was the wedding we were at this past Saturday that did it, but he was actually very well behaved and didn't ditch me for his friends. He still does have those loser frat boy friends, but we agreed to try to spend more time doing things with other couples. Hopefully, the more time we spend with other couples, the more he will see that his other buddies are complete losers. He even admitted to me that he doesn't like those guys very much but just hangs out with them b/c they are close by and always around (unlike his friends who are married).
Anyway, time will tell. I also think that it will be helpful when he moves and he is far, far away from the morons (and one of the moron's cars just died and he can't afford to get a new one b/c he pisses away all his money on alcohol and smokes---seriously, the kid makes $50,000+ a year and still can't buy a new car....I don't get it! This would be the same loser who freeloaded at the bf's house for over a year and stank it up). So, we'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
i am also sad. i support you as long as you are going into this with your eyes wide open and are ready to walk when he reverts back to his old ways. he is on a probationary period now, he should have to earn you back.
I just hope that whatever path you choose makes you happy and garners you the respect you deserve. If it's with the ex and he can really change then more power to you. But if not, don't be afraid to say goodbye. Sometimes breakups take time to come to completion. Good luck in whatever way you choose!
I'm not going to yell at you, although I want so badly to scream - but it's FOR you. And for all the times I've done the exact same thing... "This will fix it.. No THIS will fix it... No I can make this work... I know I can do it..." I wish I had the time I wasted back. But only you know when a relationship is right for you, and you're right there with him and I'm not. So what do I know? Good luck.
I don't check this forum *that* often, so update me.
What happened to J?
You know, I am recently single, and damn, it is *still* hard not to jump back into it. I miss my bf a lot. He was awesome in many, many ways...
BUT
I made list of all the things I am looking for in a bf/husband/life partner and he scored pretty darn low. I think he had about 40 percent of what I am looking for. Emotionally, this guy is great, but we don't have the same goals/idea about life. It sounds like you guys might be just the opposite -- he is lacking in the emotional dept.
Anyway ...
Good luck to you and your bf. I hope it works out, if that is what you need/want to be happy. If it is meant to be, it will work out.

I never really updated anyone on that situation. We both decided that it wasn't really the right thing right now and besides, I'd rather try to fix things with the bf (I know, I know...). I'll try to post good things about him, too, so you ladies don't think that he's the devil incarnate. But he does have some serious grovelling to do.
