SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE. WHAT THE FUCK.
The craziness continues.
Surprised?
I’ll bet you aren’t.
I don’t understand why these things happen to me.
Remember the Glen and Amy debacle? Supposedly, Glen broke up with Amy after that. Or so he says. Well, I got this lovely text message from Glen this past Saturday:
Will u be my main squeeze ive been thinking about you alot now that u r single i am very unhappy with her
can we get together soon
private
God. Damnit.
Why does this shit keep happening to me? I mean, it’s nice to know someone is thinking about you. But not when you’re sorta kinda not really in a relationship with someone but you WOULD like it to progress further eventually and dating other guys would PROBABLY ruin it. AND ALSO, not when the girl he JUST BROKE UP WITH is EFFING INSANE and will have my head on a stick if she even so much as SUSPECTS anything is going on between Glen and me.
I texted him back something to the effect of:
I don’t really know what to say. That was kind of unexpected.
He said he understood and he didn’t really expect an answer, but he DID still want to talk to me about it.
Great.
Also, if he ALLEGEDLY broke up with her, then why did he say I AM unhappy with her? Wouldn’t he say I WAS unhappy with her?
(And, also, too [to be redundantly repetitive], who says “main squeeze” anymore?)
If we do end up meeting in person to talk about it, I am going to bring up these points:
(Don’t you love how I make lists for EVERYTHING, including clandestine discussions with an old flame in which I have to let him down gently?)
- I am dating BrownEyes. And while we have not discussed exclusivity, I’m quite certain that BrownEyes would be none too thrilled if I were to start seeing Glen, especially considering the fact that BrownEyes once asked me if I used to date Glen. Also? If forced to choose between the two, I don’t see myself picking Glen. Ever. So why even go there? I mean, I know I’m single and I have the right to date multiple guys, but that doesn’t mean I WANT to.
- We have barely spoken in the 3+ years Glen has been dating Amy. A lot has changed in those three years. I am probably not the person he remembers from three years ago. He, on the same note, is probably not the same as I remember him, either.
- He JUST broke up with Amy (again, or so he says. He could be lying to find out what his options are). And she would FLIP. HER. SHIT if she found out. I don’t have the energy nor emotional fortitude to handle that right now.
- I really wonder if it’s ME he really wants, or if he just wants an easy way out of his crappy relationship. He probably just saw me the other night, remembered the fun times we used to have together, and mistook that as some sort of sign that he needed to be with me and not her.
HOPEFULLY, he will just take the hint and leave me alone, and I won’t even have to worry about all that.
Something tells me, though, given the crazy rollercoaster my life has been these past few months? He will not.
Sigh.

Well you know what I think? (not that it matters, but oh what the hell…) I think it all depends on how you feel about Brown Eyes. And I think I know, from our conversations that you would happily have something develop with him. And yes, even though you’re single, it would probably piss him off to know you’re dating more than one person. If you don’t ever see yourself ending up with Glen, I”d play it off like he was joking and let him down easily and just move on. I think he sounds like he’s bored and unhappy and looking for a distraction. But then again, this is just me putting my two cents out there. Feel free to tell me to shove it! lol xoxo

Wow, your life is full of drama. Had to read the backstory to catch up on everything.. but anyway, I’d definitely stick with Brown Eyes. Glen sounds like a loser.. If he’s unhappy with Amy, he should have the balls to just leave her for godssake. I’m not convinced the he’s actually broken up with her.

“HOPEFULLY, he will just take the hint and leave me alone, and I won’t even have to worry about all that.”
And if you TELL HIM THIS and drive the point home, this drama would happen no more.
Don’t hate me, I’m just sayin.

Geez. This is annoying of him. If you think it won’t create further problems (as in, he shows up outside your house holding a boombox over his head), I would just tell him that he needs to leave you alone since you are in a relationship. Sometimes people need to hear the blunt truth, even if it’s going to hurt.

chasing: I e-mailed you.
Stephanie: Yeah, Glen is pretty much a loser from what I can gather. Who pulls that crap? Although, I got an e-mail from his brother’s wife saying that they had broken up, and she knew nothing of what was going on with Glen and me.
Dan: I e-mailed you. But for the info of the other readers, yes, I know. I am a giant coward and I am guilty of the same thing I blast guys about. FOR SHAME. I’m going to tell him if he tries to contact me about it again. I just thought it was something that should have been done face to face. No one likes a rejection via text message (well, I guess no one likes rejection PERIOD).
PR: HAH about the boombox comment! And see above, re: my reply to Dan.
apollocreed: You’re lucky you’re getting married and you don’t have to deal with this BULLCRAP anymore!! Congratulations again, by the way!
