    First, I'm sorry for the loss of your father. Second, while this boyfriend/jerk's timing couldn't have been worse, I'm glad that he showed you his true colors and saved you from a lifetime of misery with a loser who didn't deserve your love. You'll be wiser for the experience and better able to appreciate the right man when he comes along.

    You poop on me once, shame on you. You poop on me twice, shame on me.
    Which is it: He's dangerous. He's cute. He's so masculine. I can change him. He's a bad boy.
    One of these appeals to you and you can't let it go. Define which one it is and go get someone who does NOT have that quality.

    This guy is NOT a good person! You need to find someone who won't lie to you or cheat on you and who will be with you through the hard places in life. They're out there ... just keep looking. God bless!

    Well sounds like the situation I am in right now. Just take some space and think about what you and your partner could do to change that problem. There is always a solution to a prolem. Am I wrong? You both need to figure out what you want out of the relationship, and sart setting goals to reach.

    All you can do is move on..
    I am pretty much going thru the same thing. It sucks majorly, he promised me that this time things were different, the situation has changed(which is true) and I fell right into his arms. He was gone as fast as he showed up. I am just trying to move thru life. I gave up everything I had going so I could be with him. I'm done, you should be too.

    I had to have my heart broken TWICE by the same guy before I was willing to see that my darlin boy, while confident on the surface, was stuck in a kinda low-level depression because he didn't like himself or his life. Sadly, if you are not ok with yourself first it's very difficult to give someone else enough attention and care because you are still building yourself up and nursing your own wounds.

    I think you should recognize that he/she might really have meant to follow through on their promises, but they probably have some kinda personal hurdle they need to jump before they can keep those promises and be a truly good partner.

    That doesn't make their behavior any less selfish, though. Good luck!

    You dont deal with them, you cut them completely off from your life. You move on and resolve never ever to let that jerk even speak to you again.
    Never accept less than you deserve. We all deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. He has shown neither.
    He deserves none of your time or thought. Learn from this and choose someone with the same values as yourself. It will be better in the long run. At least you did find out what he is like.

    I write them out of my life! No one can treat me in such a way and continue to be part of my life, unless I simply like being treated like dirt.

    F*%K me once...shame on YOU...

    F*%K me twice....shame on ME!

    Time to find NEW FRIENDS, there are many, many kind and loving people out there, no need to be burdened with disappointment and sadness!

    MOVE ON!

    I would stop dealing with them. Sounds like a "once shame on you"...."twice shame on me" I'd learn, and move on to someone who didn't do those things.

    I was going to ask what kind of promises he was breaking and all to see if he just overused the word but I read your comment about him cheating while you were at the hospital.
    .
    Go ahead and let me know his address and I'll take care of him for you! I'll break a bone for every time he broke a promise!!!
