Mike never showed up. I went to bed with makeup on. I checked my phone throughout the night. I wondered if something terrible had happened to him. Maybe his phone died and he lost my information. I looked out the window to see if he was outside of my building. So silly of me.
I just got a text message from him: "Hey just got your messages. I'm planning to go to XXXX today, if you want to join".
No words can describe my rage.
Obviously he is staying elsewhere.
Obviously we had no plans together.
Obviously he doesn't care about me; he is not serious about us.
Obviously he is not serious about moving back to NYC (I have been trying to help him with finding a job for him here but he seems to be doing nothing about it).
Obviously the idea that he wanted to marry me was only in my head; even though he pursued me for 2 years and called my sister his "future sister-in-law".
I didn't respond to his stupid message. Probably I never will. This is what I get for falling for a young commoner. Never again. This is how the story of Mike and I ends. The end.
It was too late for me to get my hair appointment. It was too late for Mr. Long Island and Jason to change their plans and come see me. My weekend is totally screwed up. I will try to reach some friends I have to see later.
Ahhh, you can't say negotiate like you're a whore, you have to say "cheap"/"street" whore... Ha ha, there are different classes... Some of us bar negotiation... Altho I accepted Eugene's, only because he bought me a dress equal to half the evening rate, and I thought it was a once off... But look at what I collected over the years, maybe $40-50k from a conceded negotiation...
ReplyDeleteI can't stand the rage too, men are such liers...
Good luck and chin up,

Ohhh... not to mention being fine with Jack for $200 now a steady $8-10k pm... Paid holidays and he puts up with my moods... That guy sounds like a dick, but all I'm saying is don't be afraid of negotiating... or pretending that you're not realising what they are doing...

thanks Julietta :)
ReplyDeleteI know negotiating isn't always bad. I guess I hated his attitude, trying to convince me that $600 per month is wonderful! he should have said, "Im very sorry but that's the best I can do" instead.
