But what if I have a legitimate reason?

Оглавление

Dear Greg

I can’t stop calling my ex-boyfriend. I have a valid reason because I still have some of his stuff. Not that it’s the most valuable stuff in the world, but I have one of his favorite jackets, so it’s not like he doesn’t care about it. When we do talk, he’s really nice at first and we have a great conversation. He’s even admitted to thinking about me, but he never wants to get together so I can give him his things. He keeps telling me to just mail them or leave them outside in a box, but I don’t want them to get stolen or lost in the mail. If he didn’t want me to call, don’t you think he’d just say so?

Dear Box Full of Excuses,

Maybe what he’s really saying is that he wants you to mail yourself to him in a box. If you’re going to twist words around, why not really go for it? Stop calling your ex-boyfriend. Having his stuff is not really a valid reason to call, it’s an excuse. And every time you use this excuse, he lets you know that he wants his stuff back but doesn’t want to see you. Now, you can make excuses as to why that is, too. Perhaps he’s afraid that seeing you will trigger an avalanche of emotions that he can’t handle and he’ll fling himself into your arms…but we both know that’s not true. The bottom line is, he doesn’t want to see you. That sucks. It hurts. And every call you make is just asking him to reject you again. Take his stuff, put it on his porch—or better yet, put it on your porch and give it to the garbageman so you can finally be rid of that box of excuses to call him.
