"Every thought we think is creating our future"
Setting New Standards

That they're basically using you for $ex...what do you do?

I mean, yeah, that should be a no brainer.

I'm just curious. Is there anyone who would honestly just not let that bother them?

Question:
What would you do if someone you THOUGHT really liked you, told you they were only using you for sex?

Choices:
Give him/her the boot! DUH!
Oh well...you're probably just using them too
Stay in the relationship...they may actually start liking you for more than just $ex

If a man told me he was using me, I probably would of known before it came out of his mouth. The signs are always there, whether we want to see them or not. Maybe you were drawn to each other because of a specific need but until you have that conversation, you're never going to know if that need is reciprocated.

Next time, try asking the right questions ahead of time so men don't assume anything of you.

Definitely not the last choice. Staying in the relationship in hopes that it evolves past what it is, is only asking for a lot of frustration and heartache.
The second choice, not even applicable since you wouldn't be asking this question if it wasn't about more than just ***.
So that leaves only the first choice, and if possible use either pointy western boots or steel toe work boots.

I had a feeling...but I just kind of ignored it. He did say (more than once) that he was trying to make sure I didn't get to close to him. *smacking my forehead*
I sure do know how to screw up my life.

I guess I was hoping that he wasn't like that. A girl can dream i guess.

He did, cailin. Along with saying HE was using me, he also said something along the lines of ME using him as well. I would never use someone like that... Especially when I know how bad it hurts.

this absolutely boggles my mind on SO many levels
first and foremost - you are a babe with a heart the size of, well, nebraska
2nd - he has to live with your brother - how does that work???
3rd - he said things like he can handle the kids, but maybe not you - which i took as a sweet silly compliment
4th - i just dont get it

i am so sorry sunshine - get that 'alaska or bust' can out and start saving... big huggies Group Hug


If you think you can, or you think you cant - you are right.

wow Erin,

I wouldn't give him anymore of my time.

The nerve of him. It clearly shows how immature and insecure he is when he has to resort to trickery to get a woman.

I doesn't sound like he knows how to have a meaningful relationship.

Thanks guys. I feel like absolute crud today. I know it's my own dang fault and I was a huge dummy, but that really doesn't make it hurt any less. I couldn't sleep at all last night just thinking about it. So I'm exhausted today and just trying to stay strong for the kids.

I'm so sorry Erin. I've been in that place before except his words were "I love you, but only when we're having $-e-x," and you and I both know that is not love! I know it hurts bad, but you just have to be strong and tell yourself there's better men out there that neither of us have met yet! Hopefully when the both of us meet that man, it won't be the same man! LOL Big Grin
