A Greek Tragedy (Part III)
Don't be fooled by the title. The whole event wasn't tragic ... just The Greek. I was going to give y'all the entire rundown of events but the whole story would be boring and it would very long. I will just say this; there were issues throughout the entire duration of the relationship but I stuck in there because it is hard to meld to different personalities. I tried to work out the kinks, but they never straightened themselves out.
Even with our major blow up in Austin, where we had an huge argument on the street, we managed to get past it. But the behavior still continued. The beginnging of the end was on April 3rd when Madonna's Confessions Tour dates were announce. I was sick for a couple of day and The Greek wanted me to come to his house to plan the trip. He was annoyed that I was sick on his day to plan his trip. I decided not to go, and he seemed fine with my decision.
The next day I get a call from and he expressed his frustration that I didn't plan well for this trip and caused him stress. This perplexed me because he got his tickets already, yet he was still blaming my planning? He asked me to plan for this 2 months ago, which I gave some thought to, but no dates were posted until 4/3/06. How can someone fully plan for a trip with out knowing any dates? He didn't care because he thought that I should have thought about the trip at least 30 minutes a day for 2 months. I told him how illogical that was, and it didn't speak to me for a couple of days.
This past Friday the whole Madonna thing came up again, and I wasn't having it. I told him that I was annoyed that he didn't consider my feelings about the whole situation. I was really sick. The day before I had a heat related illness and I was in bed for 12 hours after tennis. I was feeling it for days afterwards. He started to say that whatever I was feeling he was feeling 10 times worst. I let him know it was a competition but he should have had some empathy for me. He said this ...
... that's crazy, right?
This turned into a 3 hour conversation that never got resolved because all he did was talk about him. I told him that I don't need any undue stress in my life, so I just get rid of the stressor ...
The next day, we had dinner at this Mexican place and everything was good. He mention a movie that we should see but I woulld have to be in a melancholy mood to see it. I told him after the day before, I think I was in the mood to see it. I was making light of this serious situation until he said three words ...
I asked if he was joking, and he said he sort of was. I was not happy at all because the 3 hour conversation the day before was worthless and he didn't get anything from it. I didn't talk to him for the next 2 hours. We got back to his place and we ignored each other. He went to take out the trash, I packed my stuff and left it by the door.
I said that I was tired of talking because I was not being heard. I was thinking about breaking up with him for a couple of days but decided to keep trying. Until he told me that he was rather break up than consider my feelings.
I think I made the right choice. If someone does the following:
1. Tells you that they can't process what you say if it doesn't relate to them.
2. Tells you that you feeling don't matter.
3. Constantly tells you that you're fat (eventhough you can wear the medium t-shirt they can't fit into).
4. Tells you that you aren't caring (eventhough you catch a plane, without them asking, to be with them in their time need. WITH an overwhelming fear of flying.).
IT IS TIME TO BOUNCE!!! And I did and erased his number from my phone.

The Greek: I have don't have empathy because I am a doctor.

The Greek: Get over it!
I asked if he was joking, and he said he sort of was. I was not happy at all because the 3 hour conversation the day before was worthless and he didn't get anything from it. I didn't talk to him for the next 2 hours. We got back to his place and we ignored each other. He went to take out the trash, I packed my stuff and left it by the door.
The Greek: Do we have to talk?
