Short and Sweet: Cutting Off Robbie

I know for sure that I do not have the word "dumb" stamped on my forehead.  I also know that Robbie knows that I am not blind to what's REALLY going on.  Poor Robbie.  He tried to pull the wool over my eyes but I pulled it down and knitted that wool into a sweater.  It's a beautiful sweater with the tag on the inside reading, "Oh, by the way...this wool came from some lame ass who thought I wouldn't figure out that his ex-girlfriend is back to stay forever and ever."

My adventures with Robbie are coming to a close and I am closing them.  Marina aka Cruella De Vil is still in his lair...or maybe I should rephrase that...

Robbie and Marina are back together.  I don't want to hear his sob stories about how he feels he has to take care of her.  She was supposed to be leaving a week ago and within that week of her NOT leaving, Robbie has flaked out on me 5 times.

Waiting around for Robbie totally ruined my weekend.  We were supposed to have lunch, then meet the next day for dinner.

Robbie's way of flaking out is to simply not respond to text.  I know Robbie well enough that his phone is super glued to his hand and that he checks his phone like I check my makeup...very often.

I ran into Robbie once this weekend and we were supposed to hang out after he got off from work.   Well, we know how that turned out.

Now, all of his complaints about Marina are falling on deaf ears.  He is in the situation he wants to be in.  He wants to be with her because he IS with her.  It's his choice. He did not have to let her come back to his place, but he did.  He does not have to take care of her, but he does.  And with that choice, I am outtie.

Robbie doesn't have to stand up and declare that he is back with Marina.  It's shows in all of his actions.  The sneaking he does to text or call me.  The RARE times he texts or call me anymore since Marina has been back.  He feels he has to "hide" me from Marina.  Why?  I know why.  I got the message.  Right, Robbie?

Hiding my existence from your ex- and seriously not staying in touch the way he has are relationship violations that I can't entertain any longer.

I am glad that he made the decision that he's made before I became more emotionally involved with him.
Don't get me wrong.  Robbie is a nice guy who is just sloppy at balancing things in his life.  He is also sloppy with the truth. 

Marina, you can have Robbie back.  You won't have me interrupting your future together.

Funny thing is...I'm not even upset.

He's lucky.  I'm not the type to go 'Scream 4' all over his ass.
