IT IS always around this time of year that I get a drunken phone call from my ex boyfriend telling me how much he loves me and how much he wants me back.
“I should never have let you go darling,” were his words last night.
“I’ve come to terms with it now.
“I’m OK with the fact that I love you and want you in my life.
“Let’s get married.”
You are probably thinking, “What a loser, who would fall for that?”
Well, sadly, once upon a time, I did fall for those words. Over and over again.
Call me gullible, but if someone says something, shouldn’t they mean it? Shouldn’t what they say be the truth?
Well, sadly no, not if they are calling you at 3am and have quite clearly drunk several bars dry.
But it seems I am not alone.
My stunningly beautiful best friend is also going through something similar.
Despite the fact she is a former model, has a glamorous job and is the nicest person in the world, she fell for someone who just doesn’t treat her right.
And she is still at the stage where the drunken phone calls and text messages make her think everything is still OK.
Until she got this text message from her now sober ex the next morning: “Hi, I was drunk sorry. Can we just forget what I said? I will probably change my mind tonight though!”
So now she has done the sensible thing and dumped his phone number.
Doing that hurts though, especially when you love the person who is hurting you.
But at least by not falling for his BS you are taking back a little bit of power for yourself.
And my ex? Well, I hung up on him and went back to sleep. I know the next time he decides to contact me will be under similar circumstances and frankly, I deserve better than that.
Happy silly season to all of you xoxo
