In the past 2 weekends, I have spent some time with people who let their (in)significant others control their lives. I can see someone trying to work out their differences with a person they care about, but how can you truly care about someone who treats you like a doormat? That lead me to my next post...

I HATE DOORMATS!!!

Most people have been doormats at some time in their life. For whatever insane reason, we let ourselves be ruled by a person who clearly cares for us much less than we care for them. This is all well and good, but at some point you've got to say enough is e-f@#king-nough!

This morning I found out that a person I know (let's call him Ricky as I wouldn't want to give up his identity) went back to his girlfriend. Sounds like good news doesn't it?

"The estranged couple, once again finding love." (Birds sing while flute music plays in the background)

It's such a sweet thought. He loves her and can't live without her.

That is the romantic version of the story. The real version reads much like an episode of the Trailer Park Boys! Michael er... I mean Ricky, has been in Alberta working while his girlfriend (let's call her Lucy -- maybe I should spell it Loosey) has been at home tending to the household. While Ricky was away, Loosey had several "weak" moments and ended up in the Carribean with another man (could have been more than one man I suppose. Hell, she was probably doing Corey, Trever, J-Roc, Randy, Officer Green, Sam Loscow and Sh#tty Bill -- she'd probably do Steve French too, if she had the chance!). The worst thing about it is that she used HIS money to pay for it. Ricky worked for months and came home to find that the $12,000 that he had saved was spent on Loosey's trips with these other men. She immediately told him pack his stuff and leave, 'cause he wasn't going to live with her (in the house that he paid the downpayment on, but is not on the deed).

The sad part about this situation is that this is not the first time she has done something like this. She sticks around him while he has the money to pay for what she wants (all the time cheating on him), and when the money runs out, so does she! Ricky was injured last year and she kicked him out because she did not want to take care of him. So he slept on a friend's couch until he was healed and working again and she "took him back".

Last weekend, I went out with Ricky and some of the boys. Ricky went on and on about this being a new start for him and how happy he was to be away from that "slut". One week later, he is crying in her kitchen after his sister beats Loosey up and they are "in love again"!?!

This guy really is a load that should've been swallowed! He's so stupid, makes me wonder if he's the product of cousin love!
