From Control Freak.
Hello Joe!
I came across you by typing in relationship problems. My now called "boyfriend" and I are having some difficulties and I have finally figured out what the hell is our problem....it's me and it's my problem. I need an enormous amount of attention from a man. If I don't get this enormous amount of attention from him...I go out and cheat. I let these men know upfront that i am attached; I ask them upfront if they are attached if so - fine! If I find out later they are attached...well I am off to the next man and my own man. I have been blaming my boyfriend of cheating on me and not giving me enough attention.
It's been 2 1/2 years now, and he has told me that for now he needs to concentrate more on his business and his flight schooling and then he can give me his time....so we've cut off the "boy/girl" and now we are friends, lovers and monogamous...monagomous on his part....I finally know what my prob. is and I am going back to my counselor for help - but, should i break it off with him...i really love him a lot!! I think I may have ruined whatever chance I had in really being with him the way it used to be or even growing with him again.
Okay, let me get this straight... it took you 2 1/2 YEARS to figure out that cheating on your boyfriend was causing problems in your relationship? I do not for a second belive your crock of shit about needing "an enormous amount of attention from a man" as an excuse for sleeping around. Get a clue. If you want to sleep around, go right ahead, but don't gripe if it causes problems with your boyfriend. If you're really in love with him, tell him everything. That way you might escape with a slight amount of dignity when he dumps you for good.
Joe
