Get out of my row boat
Oh man. If my boyfriend is half as jealous and protective as he claims to be he seriously needs to come up here and help me out. I don't know how many times I've told him about this guy, but he thinks as soon as I say, "go away" he'll just leave me alone forever. Ha.
Seriously, I honestly believe now more than ever that I am no more safe with a boyfreind than I am with out one. Which is awesome, because I shouldn't need anyone anyhow. But really, this is the truth. Boyfreinds are just as good as a lie. If saying you're commited to some one is a good way to get rid of some one you don't like, hell, I can do that on my own through some simple deception.
Furthermore, any instance where I would be with my boyfriend and an attacker came looking to hurt me he'd have a gun. I don't care how big you are a bullet or blade won't discriminate between muscle and flab. Most importantly, I see my boyfriend three days a week. The other 5 I'm on my own. And when I am with him we just sit in his house. There is nothing about this situation that makes me safer what so ever. Especially when on the few occasions that I say, "Hey come let this guy see I'm not lying and have a bf because he doesn't get it" he just says, "Tell him to fuck off."
Which is fair. It's not his responsibility at all. I have to take care of myself and only I can do that.
So why am I bitching?
Because a good deal of men, mine included, need to wake up from this little dream world and realize thier girlfriends may need them for many things, but protection isn't one of them. Its an old, out of date idea and it really bothers me when guys lie and say things like, "I beat up anyone who hit on you" ::rolls eyes:: or "If anyone hurt you I'd kill him" Oh please. Just be honest with me and yourself. If some one hurt me you might call the police, and I'm sure you'de comfort me but you can't and won't do anything else.
We don't live in the days of yore where white knights would valently ride in to save thier fair maidens, ughk gag me.
