The Yard Dog

Me and the woman I have been dating decided to stop seeing each other last night. That was her choice. She made a lot of them over the course of the past month. All of them bad ones. Long distance relationships are hard. They can be done but they are hard. If you want to act like you are single Monday thru Thursday then don't involve one single person on Friday and Saturday nights and try to hide your "single" life. If you want to be single, be single. If you make that choice to be single, then be up front with the other person about what your choice is. Then that other person can make the choice if they want to be in a "casual" relationship. My lady friend's choice to be single Monday through Thursday cost her what I consider a very valuable resource in her life- me. Some may see that as an egotistical statement but I do not think it is. I know what I am and I know what I am not. What I am is loyal like an old yard dog. An old yard dog lays outside around in the shade or in front of your car just waiting on you to come out of the house so you can do something together. I don't care if it is just a pat on the head or sitting in the shade with him. Whatever you do, do not kick that yard dog or ignore him. That yard dog can only be so loyal for so long before he wises up and realizes he deserves better.
