Don't count on me, to let you know when
Don't count on me, I'll do it again
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening
Don't count on me, that's the point your missing
I love Sum 41, but those words have been playing through my head for hours.I think the truth is that's how I feel about most relationships. It's why I can't make dating last more than three months. From the time I meet a guy, to the day I tell him I can't do this any more it's like someone hits a 12 week timer. Because it takes 12 weeks for them to decide they care then I run.And I'm scared. s(Ex) is starting to count on me. He's starting to tell me what he's thinking about. Even though he says "I don't want to get back together" (over and over) I'm starting to think he's trying to sell the idea to himself. At first I'm sure it was true. He saw no way forward. He wanted a commitment - marriage and babies. Both within a couple of years.
Now, no judgement to all you married folk, but it's not really my thing. I'm not exactly a white dress and church kind of girl. All that pressure is sure to set me on the path of wanting to run/cheat/bail. I would happily have spent a long time with him, but I didn't want to be Mrs. I don't even want the diamond ring. And I sure as fuck don't want a new last name. 9 weeks in he started asking me if I was ready to get married soon. When I told him I couldn't guarantee a point in my life where I would be that girl.He broke down,he pleaded with me to just try and think about it. I told him we could discuss it further down the track. But, for all I tried, I couldn't sway him into leaving the subject alone. He didn't want to be with a woman who wouldn't be Mrs (s)Ex. His loss.Tonight, I'm going to see him. We're still going to hook up. But I'm obviously going to have to listen to him less, because if I keep being nice to him I'm going to end up like that girl in the picture above.
