First this isn't a thread about sexual stamina. No it's a thread to proclaim that while I made a mistake taking a relook at a former girlfriend of years ago, I very QUICKLY deduced that a new Knight's Cross exhibited an action that I hope all SOSUAVER'S follow.
This weekend I flew up to DC for some business, and rekindled a flame that I had here in town. We spent thursday together, had a good time, slept together, yet there was a certain unease that I was feeling. It continued into friday. I realized that she was using suttle nagging, as a retribution for who I was, or things I had done wrong in the past. She said that she was glad I was in DC, and with her. I didn't immediately reciprocate, and then things started to slide even more. I was reminded in her words,"that I didn't listen to her." Interestingly the same reason she used in our breakup for her unhappiness.
I shouldn't have done it, but I fired back with a statement that she didn't even know who I was today. That I had changed some in the last 4 years, and she was holding me hostage for what I'd done or said 4 years ago. After about 20 minutes I had enough and grabbed my gear and headed for the door. The straw was when she stated that I was trying to control her thru fear. That was total BS. I said that if she was visiting me and wanted to bail, that I'd be scared I had done something wrong. She immediately launched on that and said that I was trying to control her. This woman was burned by a ex that was VERY controlling. THAT'S NOT MY ISSUE. That's hers to deal with.
I called a cab, went to a buddy of mine's place in Alexandria, and changed my flight home. While I was waiting on the cab, she drove by and asked if I needed a ride. I told her nope. Cab was on the way. She came back by about 15 minutes later. I didn't acknowledge her.
Ok yep go ahead brethren. I know I'm going to take a few shots for going back to a previous relationship, at least this time around at the first serious sign of disrespect I walked away. That's what I'm proud of.
Should have seen it then, but I'm posting this as a reminder of 2 things. DO NOT GO BACK. Once you take trash to the curb, leave it there. The second point is do not accept intolerable behavior. At the first serious sign of disrespect, walk away and pull a Houdini.
