I would like some impartial thoughts on this please:
Scenerio:
Sue starts dating Bill who is living with his ex-girlfriend Ann. Bill says they are “just friends”. Ann calls Sue’s apt everytime Bill is there “wanting Bill to come home to do something.” Sue finally has to tell Bill to tell Ann to stop calling. Sue visits Bill and finds that Ann has put up a big 8x10 photo of her and Bill together. Ann then emails Sue to tell her what wonderfully expensive gifts she has bought Bill for Christmas. Sue gives Bill a key to her apt but he won’t give her his.
Sue feels Ann comes first with Bill and suspects Bill is doing things with Ann and not telling her about it. Bill tells Sue he is going to the movies with Tom. Sue discovers he is really going to the movies with Tom and Ann. Bill says not telling isnt the same as lying. Sue asks Bill to have Ann move out. Bill makes Ann move out but still sees her all the time. Sue asks Bill to distance himself from Ann but he doesn’t or can’t. He says he will just keep Ann away from Sue. Sue is not satifsied with this and she breaks up with Bill and doesn’t believe him when he tells her he wants to work things out.
Sue needs to run far, far away. And make sure she gets her key back.
Sue was right to do what she did. I mean, he doesn’t tell her than he’s going to the movies with Tom and Ann and then tries to excuse himself by saying that he wasn’t lying? If there was nothing, to hide, he would have told the truth.
If Bill isn’t still in love with Ann, at the very least Ann still has some sort of hold on Bill.
yes, Geobabe and Delicious, my thoughts exactly.
“Bill” is a total patsy. Not only does he let his ex walk all over him and manipulate him even when he has a new girl in his life, he lets the new girl tell him to kick out Ann, which he does, and then he still acts like a doormat to them both and continue to dodge conflict and confrontation by telling whatever lies come to mind.
Either that or he’s the one doing the manipulating, keeping both Sue and Ann in the dark about exactly what’s going on with the other, so he can have the cake and eat it too for as long as he possibly can.
Either way, not worth Sue’s time. Ann’s either, actually, unless she feels that she can keep her dominion over him secure and that’s what she wants from the relationship. Regardless, Sue is definitely better off leaving these two to each other.
Oh sure, people try to come up with reasons for their responces. I on the other hand will not. I will simply state that
Bill is an idiot.
Ann is an insane girl who wants more attention than she deserves.
Sue did the right thing.
thank you.
Wasn’t this like, an episode of Friends? Substitute Ross, Rachel, Mona and there you have it.
Ha Ha Calliope! It was like a bad sitcom but this actually happened.
I knew I did the right thing. Bill still doesn’t get it. He just doesn’t get that his hanging out with another woman, (ESPECIALLY one who was trying to break us up and cause me emotional pain) was completely wrong period. In my book, you simply do not go to movies with people who are mean to your girlfriend and expect to keep your girlfriend. I tried to explain this repeatedly but all I got from him was was “She’s not doing anything or I don’t want to upset her or I’m not sleeping with her” Which I just thought was pathetic excuses for him to do what he wanted.
