Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 What about a person who is consistently late? I had a relationship with a man who almost never turned up on time. Sometimes it was because the trains were late, other times he was delayed at work etc, but he always had an " excuse " . What he didn't acknowledge was that I just wasn't important enough to him to make the effort to be on time.

[OT] if your friend is late to meet you ... and you get angry with them that is fine ... but if you carry that anger on after they have explained why they are late then you are in the wrong... if a person is late they have a good reason... it does not make them a 'bad' person ... it is the circumstances which cause that person to be late... and your emotions arise because you do not know the circumstances which make that person late... if you imagine whilst waiting that there could be a million things that could keep your friend from being on time ... then you will find that you do not get angry ...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 then the issue is about how important he sees you ... you either get out of the relationship or go out on your own ... get rid of the guy (which you have) ... or make him think ... did you end up hating him tho?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 No. He was the previous one. The married one is still married, daughter's 3rd birthday end of next month. With a bit of luck he'll be getting some (expert) help with his problems now as he's been to the doc & has got a couple of referrals. Keep everything crossed for him!
