guess I'm back again
Find a Conversation

I haven't visited this board since 2003/2004 when my bf and I briefly broke up. I'm afraid I'll probably be back now because I think we've broken up again.
We had an argument over the phone during the Labor Day Weekend (Saturday). What happened was he was supposed to get a phone card so we can talk to one another (it's a LDR). Instead, he gives away his last $20 of unemployment money to a supermarket who's raising money for the Katrina victims.
I know I'm sounding selfish and uncaring, but hear me out...
In 2003, he cheated on me with another woman and they had drove to New Orleans for a week. I took the $20 donation as, "I had a nice time in New Orleans that week; it's a shame what has happened, so here's 20 bucks."
Also, I felt I wasn't placed as his main priority. We had been very busy the previous week with stuff and hadn't had the time to call one another. Getting that phone card was for our time together over the phone.
He told me that he wanted to help out now instead of later. He would get his next unemployment check on Tuesday and he would get a phone card then.
I told him how about the other way around? Why couldn't he have bought the phone card now and wait until Tuesday to donate money? He then said to me, "This conversation is now over. You can't handle it." He hung up after that.
It's now Friday and I have not received a phone call from him nor has he tried to email me. Guess I'm not his *priority* anymore.
I do have sympathy for what has happened in the Gulf coast. It's just that when he spent that last $20 and didn't place me first, I immediately thought about that time in 2003. I guess the no contact for almost a week now means we're through.
I don't know if I'm asking for somebody's advice or what. I guess I just needed to tell somebody about this.
Thank you for reading my post.
Have a great weekend.
