A day late and a dollar short

I don't remember what his online handle was. Probably something in French.

As noted previously, he made two substantial changes to his life to remain involved with me:

1. He left the military to avoid jail.

2. He changed denominations so it was feasible to get divorced without being defrocked.

Notice how both things boil down to covering HIS ass and don't actually do anything for ME.

We would talk on the phone and he would brainstorm plans to come see me that he knew would never materialize. Then I made friends with a guy actually enthusiastically encouraging me to go to college instead of making emotionally manipulative empty promises and I began saying things like "Show up and fuck me or fuck off."

I started school to wrap up my AA. Mr. Two Master's Degrees felt threatened and began picking fights.

WTH?

Whatever some guy is doing right now to try to string me along, rest assured I've seen it all before.

You add value to my life in the here and now or you get gone. I'm not waiting by the phone to meet your needs at your convenience in exchange for empty promises of a better future.

Why other women put up with that shit, I don't really understand.

I mean most likely they are involved with some guy with more money than they have and hoping to marry well. 

Guess what? A zillion other women will marry them for their money.

The statistics say affairs rarely lead to happily ever after. They typically serve one of two purposes:

1. They stabilize his dysfunctional marriage so he doesn't need a divorce.

2. They help him get through the divorce and within a year he will likely dump the other woman too and find someone else.

The other woman fills in gaps in his life. She's not really marriageable material in most cases.

If you want to have an affair, hey, I'm not here to judge you. But try to do it for what it adds to your life in the present and not for empty promises of a better future that's extremely unlikely to materialize.
