Tug of War

 Why is it that some men like to play games? Now don't get me wrong, I know some women do to, but is all of the really necessary? So as I have said in some earlier blogs, I just moved from Indiana to North Carolina. Now, when I moved, I left behind the man I was dating. We had been split up once, but had been back together for about 8 or 9 months when I ended up leaving. True to the nature of many people, when you love someone, and they leave, you want them to come home right? So when the games?

A week ago was my birthday, and said gentleman called to wish me a happy birthday. He chose to give me extra information too. My happy night of hearing from him was turned sour when he revealed that he and his ex were talking again. Now I know I moved, and he has every right to make his friends. I have nothing to worry about. Soon though I come to realize that he is now with her. Again, I don't live there anymore, and long distance relationships are horrible, so I should just let it go. What gets me though, is why does he insist on continually asking me, "when am I coming home?" He calls 3 or 4 times a week and every time he starts off the conversation with, "when am I coming home?" Constantly hearing, "I want you to come home so we can be together, so things can go back the way they were!" What a crock!

Now I may be young, but I am not stupid! You cannot have your cake and eat it too. So what's with the games? Why would someone even think it right to have a "side act" or even try and make both people the main attraction? Really, do you have any kind of manners? It truly is ridiculous! Is there any sort of an explanation to all of this? Am I merely over reacting to something that should be small, or do I have a right to be irritated by all of this? But why does it feel like one big game of tug-o-war? I am on one side, he is on the other. Instead of mud being in the middle though, it is behind us waiting to see who is going to let go first. Eventually though, someone has to get dirty. As if relationships aren't hard enough as it is, lets throw some rocks in too!
