Guest bellaragazza Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I need your help! Tell me if I’m over reacting (i know it's long, i'm sorry)I just recently got back together with one of my exs. Things were super amazing at first and we spent about a week reconnecting and getting to know each other and basically just catching up on lost time.. Right after this bonding moment we shared he went back to playing his old bullshit and I’m not sure if I should believe his stories or just hit the road again..It all started last week. We spent an amazing night together but I wasn’t feeling well so I called it a night early. The next day I went to work early and throughout the day I think I paged him twice. So, he didn’t call me back and at first I just figured that he was sleeping so I let it go.. It was almost 6:00 p.m when I started to wonder what the fuck was going on so I called his house and his mom told me he wasn’t home. At first I was really upset because I figured that he just didn’t bother to call me like he usually did. Then at 9:00 p.m he finally called me. He didn’t say a word just said “hey whats up”. I wasn’t mean about it or anything but I just asked him nicely why he wasn’t returning my pages and he followed by telling me that his friend had called him the night before after I’d gone to bed and that his friend was bad tripping so he needed to rush him to the hospital and that is where he’d been all day. I was still super upset after that because honestly it would have taken him two seconds to run over to a pay phone and just give me a quick call and say something like “my friends really sick I wont be around so don’t worry”. But instead he chose not to. I find that really disrespectful because I know I’d do it for him. Now the problem continued this weekend when I confronted him about having to make an appointment to spend time with him. It seems that every time something better comes up he always ditchs me. I’m not the controlling type and I actually push him to go out with his friends or whatever but last night he really upset me.. He called to tell me he was going out and told me he’d be in early so that we could chill and come 11:30 I got a phone call from him telling me that he was going clubbing. I find this all so rude.Now, do you think I’m over reacting by getting upset about this or is he just being an asshole? He’s giving me such a hard time about this and making me feel like I’m such an irrational person and sooo terrible for letting stuff like this bother me.. I think it’s just a respect thing and I have every right to be upset..What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazinhot Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 From the sounds of it I think there are some trust issues. Everyone gets paranoid and jealous but there is a limit to how much a person can take. I don't want to sound mean but maybe he isn't taking the relationship as seriously as you. Maybe he is having second thoughts as well, or maybe he is intentionally trying to push your buttons to see how far he can go. If this is the case then I think you should talk to him and tell him how you feel about the problems. You can't expect him to know whats wrong if you don't tell him. If he tries to beat around the bush then move on. You can't treat an old dog new tricks. Find someone that you can trust and be open with. Thats the only way a relationship can move forward.

Guest bellaragazza Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I wish I was smoothering him.. i don't ask for much out of a relationship i just ask that i'm not disrespected.. i don't care if he goes out.. i don't care if he takes off for a week but i think it's just out of courtousey that you tell someone..

siceone Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Honey If I were you I would Walk away for real cause you are just going to case your self more headache IMO if this is like the same shit you went through before you broke up the first time and you know that leak has sprung once again jump ship. I agree with DG is seems he is trying to play you I don't really think you are suffocating him. You sound like a really caring person so I would give you this advice. Tell kid houdini straight up how you feel regardless of what he tells you take a vacation and come to the states and find yourself a real mand Darlin' can I get an AMEN good luck sweetie all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bellaragazza Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 yeah,i tried to explain to him how i don't think its very conciderate to not take someone elses feelings into concideration like that.. and all he had to say to me was "you're over reacting". maybe he's right maybe he's wrong but fuck that cause I don't need this bullshit... like I told him.. he's a great guy and all but he's got some issues when it comes to treating people with respect.. and in his case it's unfortunate cause i'm not putting up with it..the end.

I'd be upset, but sometimes there are circumstances that are lot to handle. I had to take my best friend to the ER about 4 years ago. It was like 2 in the morning on a major holiday weekend. Mind you I was supposed to be home at 3 ish, I didn't leave the hospital till until almost 7 am.... I then called my mom and explained what happened.. She wasn't happy about my being MIA for 5 hours, but she understood..... If he is making excuses for everything, then tell him how you feel, and explain you don't wanna do this dance again, it wasn't fun the first time around......

Guest bellaragazza Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I explained it to him.. I explained it once.. then twice.. then three times and all this kid says is "you're over reacting" so i just told him it was nice while it lasted... but enough is enough..

flying_high Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I agree with spygirl here...everyone is handling chaos, stress and certain situations in a different way and maybe he really didn't want to talk to anyone at that moment. He called you in the evening and explained to you what had happened....so I really wouldn't make too much of a deal out of it (btw: I also hate those paging things....it's like calling a dog to IMMEDIATELY answer my call...and who wants to react immediatelyat a person's call).The second part of your story...doing "better things" when they arise and ditching you...well, that's a total different story....that just plain out shows that he doesn't really care too much. If I'm really into a person...than honestly, I'd rather spend my time with them than any other crazy party or something like this.Well, bella... good luck to you...and I hope you make/made the right decision.

tranceformer16 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Just let him know that you dont want to happen it again... When he still do the same shit... then get rid of him... at least you gave him a chance....good luck girl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightangel Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 I think that anyone- guy or girl that dosent return phone calls and cancels plans last minute is plain RUDE. Unless all ten fingers are broken it is not hard to dial the phone. I don't think that a friend OR a boyfriend should treat you that way. It's totally disrespectful, you have every right to be pissed. Yes it is excusable once in a blue moon, but if this is an ongoing problem I'd kick em to the curb!!! You def should not stand for that shit hun. GOOD LUCK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
