I asked him if he thought all our relationship problems would be solved if I were "more reliable," which is to say, woke up earlier, returned phone calls promptly, showed up on time. He said yes, he believed that would solve everything.

Right, because clearly the only problems in this relationship are the inconveniences that you caused by being so unreliable. Right. Right. Jesus, this has made me so angry I can't see straight. That sorry egotistical jackasshole son of a BITCH.

For HIM, maybe. Note, he didn't indicate how that would solve our relationship problems for ME.

What, *you* can have problems? But he's clearly perfect. And since he's perfect, you can't possibly have problems with him. ::eyes roll completely out of head:: I repeat: son of a BITCH.

That's a bit of my own fault though,

::HITS BUZZER:: You know, unless you're pulling a George Tenet here in the "I'm sorry I didn't knock myself silly trying to make things clear to this moron when he was intent on fucking things up, that makes it my fault" way, this is incorrect. It's looking more and more from his e-mails that if he doesn't care to deal with something, he ignores it, and ignores it hard-core. It appears that you've been checking in to see how he's doing and if you can do something for him at least once a day, and apparently it has never occurred to him to check back with you on your needs.

Ya know, that's just not right.

because when he asks me what I want from the relationship (this doesn't happen often), or when we discuss it, there's always a lot of crying and apologizing after which he likes to roll his eyes and complain how he wasted so much time he could have better spent getting work done.

Well, that's certainly the way to a girl's heart. I can see how you'd want to hold onto this one. [/acid voice]

You know what? I have to agree with what Lorrie said the other day: I just don't get what you're getting out of this relationship. It's not hot sex, it's not intimacy, it's not support, it's not admiration, it's not acceptance, it's not unconditional love. Fucked if I know what you're doing here, baby girl.

Today, you leave. I agree with the plans laid out by everyone else: don't even give him a chance to respond. Leave a note and let him bitch and whine about his ex who didn't understand him to the next woman sucked in by his little routine. Let her deal with it, let her get cheated on and get no sex. In the meantime, you go out and go elsewhere and do not, do not, do not talk to this man.

If you forget why you're doing it, we'll be glad to remind you. We're chatty.

Love you, sweetie. Get out, get gone.
