Dear globalcounselor,
I recently started dating a man. We’ve been dating for about three months but just before Christmas he disappeared from my life. I left phone and text messages, but he did not return not one of them. I spent the holidays alone. I did not receive a card let alone a gift from him. I was so disappointed and hurt. Guess what, yesterday I heard from the creep wanting to come over. I asked him where he was all this time, over the holidays. He said he had to be away. He was very vague and unapologetic. I told him no thank you, it’s a new year and I am moving in a different direction. I believe he was just being cheap. He did not want to spend any money on me to take me out or buy a gift. Silly me I had bought him a gift but he’s not getting it. I am taking it back and get my money. His behaviour disgust me.
Disgusted.
Dear Disgusted,
I must say your friend’s behaviour is rather strange. You must have thought a great deal more about the relationship that he did. People usually like to spend Christmas with their loved ones and girlfriends and boyfriends but this guy is something else. I think you’ve made the right decision to move on. There are plenty of fishes in the sea, go find someone who shares the same idea of a relationship.
