Did you just call my man?!


I have a really good friend who I have known for almost ten years now. He is one of the few people that I know I can call when life is going to hell in a hand basket and he will know all the right things to say. We were roommates for over a year and I know him very well. He is such a sweet and good guy and would never do anyone any harm and he would never cheat on anyone. I know that you are never supposed to say never but he really just isn’t that type. He is not impressed by looks or money and he has turned down lots of sex in his day.
The sad part is that he is now dating this super psycho…um…I mean insecure chick. She is one of these chicks that believes that every man cheats so you have to monitor his every move, every second of the day. Now he has told me about some of her psychotic tendencies in the past and I felt bad that he had to be in that type of relationship but he chose it for himself. Now I was ok with his choice of girlfriend that is… until it affected me. Sigh. So I call this dude to boo hoo about some bad news I received. I called him at 11:00am, a respectable hour. He didn’t pick up the phone. Next thing I know I am getting this “did someone from this number call my man?” Oh boy! I am already in an emotionally fragile state so I am not the one you want to be having this conversation with. If you are having issues with your man you need to talk to him about it not me! I managed to remain cordial and quickly got off the phone with her. Geevus! He calls me back a few minutes later. Our conversation seems a bit awkward and clumsy. He is not his usually happy-go-luck self. I know something is up. I ask if I am on speaker phone, he says no. I ask if his chick is hovering above him. Ding! Bullseye! I ask him to call me when he is alone. Just in case you are wondering I am not the girl who calls at all hours of the night. I am not the girl that calls frequently, maybe once every other month. I have never met psycho chick because they live in a part of the country that I have no desire to ever visit. I also haven’t seen my friends in about 5 years so the probability of us having some torrid affair is…zero.
My public service announcement for the day: Ladies if you feel like you can’t trust your boyfriend then maybe you don’t need to be with him! Constantly hurling accusations at him, monitoring his every move, rifling through his garbage, calling back phone numbers and stalking him…all of that is CRAZY behavior. Now I am not saying there is not a proper place and time for some good private eye investigation. There might be a time when your man is exhibiting some shady behavior and you just want to know for sure if what you suspect is true then make yourself happy. Personally, I feel like if I have to resort to stalking you I don’t need to be with you. Period. On the other hand, if you have a man who comes home straight from work, is not out in the street at all hours of the night and is always open and accessible to you, please don’t mess that up by letting your issues from the past loser cruisers you have dealt with mess up a potentially good relationship with a good man. Give the man a break! If you keep accusing him and looking for him to cheat, you might just drive him to it. Be careful what you wish for. Also, if you see my name on your man’s caller id, don’t call me back. If you do I will try my best to be nice to you but if you catch me on the wrong day I might have to tell you about your self and how I was there before you, will be there after you, how his momma don’t really like you and how you need to find your self a good therapist cuz you’re crazy, psycho, insecure. Consider this a public service announcement. Ding! You are free to move about the country.


Have you ever acted crazy because of a man/woman? What did you do? Would you do it again?
