The Jump Off

I was sitting at my desk this afternoon listening to the Wendy Williams radio show. All I kept thinking was this has to be a sign; what's currently happening in my life has to come to a stop! Then I went to church on Sunday and the message hit home once again. All I'm thinking is wow this has to be more of a sign.' Then the third time was a charm, I'm listening to the Wendy Williams radio show again and she's talking about the same subject. Now that's when I know for a fact that something has to be done!

What am I talking about? I'm talking about being the other woman. I wasn't the other woman to one guy but two. Previously I was in a relationship with one of them for five of years. I considered this man to be the love of my life. He was the one that made me change my mind about marriage and having children. But something happened in our four and half years of being together, he started hanging out with a bunch of new people and getting in to new things, reckless things. Such as drinking so much that he was arriving to work not only hung over but extremely late. That worried me because this is the man I was looking to have a future with and what good is it when he does not have a job? I didn't want to nag him, but I wanted to let him know I was concerned. Well my concern did turn in to nagging. I tried to explain to him in several different ways how important it was for him to get his act together. He being out there with people drinking and probably driving, he [they] could be killed. I told him to think about his mother because he is the only child. His new crew of friends he was hanging out with did not appear to have real jobs so they did not have anything to worry about and finally, none of his friends are dealing with diabetes (not to my knowledge) and do not have to take medication to save their kidneys. It did not stop and then not to mention that he had several females calling his cell phone all hours of night and to this day I don't know what that was about but that brought on heavy suspicion.

I didn't want to go accusing him, but when I asked him who they were I wasn't satisfied with his answer. Then some of his stories wouldn't add up. That made me even more suspicious. I didn't want to break up with him; I just wanted his nonsense to stop! I was trying to make him understand that you're an adult, all those things you do when you are in high school or in college.

His changes in behavior made me slip back to when I was in high school.
