My Ex Boyfriend: Is he as good as it gets? I REALLY hope not :(

For the past two years I haven't been in a serious relationship, and it seems like no guy wants one. In comparison to what I am dealing with now, I feel like what I had with my ex was "the best I ever had" emotionally, physically, etc. I am starting to think no guy will ever understand me like he did, or do the things for me he did.


I dated this guy for about a year and 3 months while I was in high school, and first semester of college (Long distance relationships DO NOT work out in my opinion, clearly I am a living testimony). Anyway he was two years older than me we were 17 and 19 when we started dating. Now looking back on it, I feel like being with him was one of the happiest times of my life. We had weekly dates, he picked me up from work, he brought me food to my job, gave me money, we hung out all the time, I met his whole family, brothers, sisters, cousins, mom, grandma, friends, everything. He made me laugh he made me smile, he...well he was just good in all of those aspects.


But with the good, there is always the bad. One major thing that was bad is that he was a compulsive liar, he lied for no reason. Most of it was to try to impress me. He didn't understand that I loved him for who he was, which made him feel like he needed to impress me. Also, he was really critical about how I dressed, how my hair was done, just a lot of superficial things, don't get me wrong I am a bad B lol, but I do have my days where I just want to chill or I don't feel like looking all good for him, and he had a problem with that. Another thing, is that he would joke about how we met, he told me he was trying to CHOOSE between my friend/co-worker and I, and he chose me because I WAS ALWAYS THERE, and he also had his eye on her, wth? Who really tells someone that after being with someone for over a year?


I know no one is perfect but I don't see the "good" in anyone else that I saw in him, atleast he made an effort in trying to be a good boyfriend, and wanting to take things to the level of a comitted relationship. It seems like guys these days (atleast the ones I come into contact with) are not interested in the same things I am interested in. I find it extremely hard to believe that I can be in a comitted relationship at 17, but at 20, I don't even have the potential. So now again I ask, is he as good as it gets?

Update 5/29/2012

Hi all,     So I know I haven't posted in a while, but a lot has been going on in my life to prevent me from doing leisurely activities such as creating blog posts. I know the last post I made was for Valentine's day and that was  like 3 months ago so just a bit has changed since then. I guess the most drastic change in my life is that I FINALLY graduated from college! Yes, after 5 years I finally have my degree. The thing is is that I was in some hard classes and some BS classes. I was really worried about my hard classes because I had to get a C in them to graduate. Those of you in college know how hard it is to get a C in your hardest classes. Anyway I had only Tueday and Thurday classes and I went from 8a to 5p so at the end of the day I was really tired and had no time to do anything but focus on school so I haven't really been blog posting or youtubing or anything. My last semester grades were great though! In my Economics 371: Expense Analysis class I got a A, Ec...

Don't Always Have a HAND OUT Sometimes You Should Lend A Helping Hand

As I stated in my previous blog it seems like many times I am on the giving end instead of the receiving end of many situations, as I also said many people are in this world doing and living for themseleves seeing what they can get out of the next man, or what the next person can do for them. I was always taught this is a selfish world, but that is not the person I am which makes it hard for me to understand why other's are that way, but that is not what my blog is about. Today I was getting some lunch and the man working behind the counter asked me what my major was, I told him Public Administration with a Political Science minor, I also told him I wanted to get my masters in Public Administration and go to law school. He then asked me what kind of law I wanted to practice. I told him I wanted to be either a divorce lawyer, or a child and family lawyer. He then told me he had talked to many students and most had said they wanted to do entertainment or business law, not thinking ...

Don't Force Upon Yourself More Than You Can Bear

I am currently sitting at my THIRD job, with my morning coffee, hair askew, and trying to hold my eyes open. Why are you so tired? I know that's what you're thinking, but let me tell you my schedule for today: 10:30p Bedtime 04:00a -08:00a DA at the desk in my apartment building 08:00a-11:00a Receptionist at the front desk of the BCC 11:45a-03:00p Class 03:15p-5:00p work I have just started this schedule this week and I already feel like it is taking a toll on me. I am not sure I will be able to continue to work all these shifts as well as go to class. My question is: Is it worth it? Should I quit atleast one of my jobs? What do you guys think? If I neglect to post a blog for a long time you all know why! And for those of you who do not comment but do read my blogs, I WOULD like to know your opinion, and instead of just telling me TYPE it, others might need the advice too! Anyways have a good day everyone!
