And Kis,
Can you give this guy the benefit of the doubt? No where in that article does it hint that he was "playing with her emotions". Couldn't he have dumped her when he began to realize she was a psycho bitch? I realize you've had some bad experiences but please don't try to shift ANY of the blame to this dude without knowing the story, especially after what he's been through.
He already admitted that his intentions were different than hers. For him it was a casual physical relationship. She, already emotionally unbalanced, thought differently. Personally, you shouldn't be in bed with a woman you don't want to be serious with. That's one of the biggest problems in the world today, sex without consequences! There is no such thing as sex without consequences!! The sooner some people find that out, the world will be a better place!
Do you mean he didn't notice changes in her after he told her this wasn't serious? Or was he too busy reaping the benefits without feeling responsibility? It's no doubt at all what his intentions were-he said them in the article. She shouldn't have done what she did, but he shouldn't have used her to gratify himself.
One of these days you fellas are going to understand that many (not all) women view sex differently than you. Some of us are stupid to equate sex with love, while many (not all) of you guys are only there to get your needs met. If it's good, you may even stay around. If it's really good, you may make the relationship exclusive (for her anyway) she goes monogomous (spell) while some (not all) of you continue to cat around because she's not what you thought she was. Why not just be a man and end the relationship and admit you don't want to commit? Why drag it out and get mad if she's bitter and vindictive because she felt used by the guy? Why do that at all?
There are consequences in what you do. If you don't want to suffer the consequences, watch your motives and don't screw around with a woman you don't want to be serious with unless you BOTH agree that it is casual. Then what happened to him won't happen to any of you.
I take sex in a relationship very seriously and that is why I choose to be single while I meet a few milestones in my life. Is it fun to be by yourself? No! Does it get lonely? Hell yes it does! Would I like some casual, no committment, no strings attached sex? Oh, hell yeah! However, I know me and I know I can't do things that way so I stay celibate until I think the right man has come along. But if he isn't the right one, I will not drag it out no matter how much in love he claims to be with me or I with him.
But as I said before, I'm a little more evolved in this area than a lot of women. You may not get a woman like me. You may get a woman like her--what will you (WITH ALL "YOU'S" BEING HYPOTHETICAL) do if you casually screw around with a hot looking psychopath????
Sorry but I still say check your motives for being with a woman. You should be doing that before you jump in the bed, but there are some people who screw around like rabbits and don't look back for the consequences. I don't know if this guy was that callous, to be exact, I never called him callous at all. I say that he opened the door for this mess by messing with the head of an already unbalanced woman. If you're spending time talking and getting to know someone before you take your clothes off, the conversation alone may have been enough to see the signs. But if you're too busy in the bed and aren't talking much, it takes longer to find out what you need to know about a person's ability to be in a relationship.
It always takes two to make or break a relationship. He is not without responsibility. I bet he'll take some time to get to know the next one better. I never said he deserved what he got--I'm not that cold. But he opened the door and she came through like a bull in a china shop!! You don't have to like my responses, but most of the people who responded to this are guys. It doesn't hurt to have the perspective of a woman older than both participants who has some mileage and road rash in her life with a lot of heartbreak that could've been avoided, yet did nothing vindictive or cruel in retaliation. And I've been treated a lot worse than her!
