Stranger in my house

Yesterday I received a series of texts which ended in one: “Switi si u come pick me up leo (today) nit pliz.” I went to pick her up. I thought she’d perhaps carry an over night bag but I was in for a shock. She had several bags….I was in too much shock to ask what it was all about.

Anyway I think I have an inability to deal with high tension emotional situations. A friend of mine suggested that I sit back and evaluate the situation. Well I did that last night and I think this will be my course of action:

•Determine her motives
•Ask that she clears most of her things from my house
•Determine if a relationship/friendship is feasible
•Make it clear to her about what I want

I realize right now that I’m a romantic and believe too much in fleeting emotions. That puts me in a situation where I’m easily taken advantage of. I think this is the situation that I’m in right now. Beth seems to be more emotionally intelligent than I am. She sees an opportunity where I see hope. I refuse to be used; I refused to be used like a worthless Kleenex. I will not be used and abused.

I don't even know what to say. The woman is using you. My recommendation is this: pack up her stuff. leave them outside the door and when she gets home tell her that she's got to go.


But of course my advice is slightly biased. I'm a very bitter man.

U said it better. Her's is an opportunity and a solution. Yours is a hope.. U know you dont want to be used, so work towards it.
But start from a point of knowledge. Then everything else will fall into place..
