Every now and again, I have to pick myself up from the hurt and just speak up.

A message to my in-significant other:

Yes, we could have had something very special. You are in most respects a good man. You'd never physically hurt me. You like to go places with me. So what's wrong?

You lie to cover your ass. You don't have the gonads to say "no" when shown attention by another female. When you ask me about my day and I start to tell you, you take over the conversation, either telling me what I should have done or rambling on about something else. You can't make a decision and make it stick. You'd love nothing better than to have everything handed to you and be led around by the hand. You make me ask for help when you know I need it. What do I want from you?

I want you to at least pretend I am the best thing that's come around in a while, not be led by the hand into another relationship while you are with me, not to lie about it if you are, listen to me and don't shove advice down my throat (sometimes - as you can see by this post - I just need to talk through things), and say "Hey - let's go to that new restaurant Friday night" instead of waiting for me to decide for both of us what we're going to do. Because honestly? If I have to decide on something to do, why do I have to drag you along? And if you know I need help, offer it - it's hard for me to ask, and I'd rather say "yes" than have to ask.

Is that really so hard?

Venting can be helpful!

For relationships to be successful both people have to be into it and committed, doesn't sound like he is, sorry

I'm sorry, but I am confused. You don't want help ... you hate asking for help ... you really don't want help ... but if you DO need help, he better offer to help instead of making you ask ... unless you don't want help at that time, and then he's just pissing you off.

That's what it sounds like.
