I've lived with a boyfriend since I was sixteen years old. I am now twenty-one years old and I think that for the first time I can acually breath. Yes I am truelly happy to boast that my left arm is no longer numb my heart is no longer palipitating and yes finally i'm officially off of what I like to call high anxeity alert. the betrayel the secrets the lies the heartbreak.

I'll admit sometimes I find myself alone at 2:ooam... on a computer, did I mention alone? So very alone. I miss being cradeled to sleep and this is precisely what I am trying to get at. the neediness. The lack of interdependence what will one day be remembered and referred to as the wasted years.
Do you really want to get back on topic? The things your boyfriend won't tell you? the things that are going to drive you absolutly to the edge? Now I can't speak for soceity but as per myself, possibly through witnessing bad examples, found myself on a downword spiral of the unemployed. the unemployed boyfriend never pays rent on the first of the month... the concept is just not there! the unemployed boyfriend will not tell you where all the condoms in his pockets keep comming from. He will not tell you how ninety dollars of pornography was charged to your bell express satelite, that was his idea for you to set up in the first place. He will not tell you about the pictures he keeps of his ex in the drawer by his bedside table. He will not tell you why his phone was off for three days. He won't tell you when it's over either. That will have to unfortunatley be up to yourself and your will power. consider how much debt your willing to fall into because of the fairy tale that one day just ones day he's really going to sweep me off my feet. sorry, you off your feet. My advice, take out your own garbage, cook your own meals pay your own bills sign a lease in your own name (or your parents) and never accept false promises.
