Women of Texas (or wherever) unite! Why do y'all continue putting up with assholes, abusers, lazy asses, druggies, drop outs, racists, control freaks, chauvinists, liars, and mooches? (Okay, okay, I give. I've done it many times myself.)
- Do you really think he was just teasing when he wanted to see your teenage daughter show her tits or even patted her on the ass?
- How many times can he lose a job because "they" just don't appreciate him (or his beer breath or constant call-ins or whatever)?
- Why do his mood swings always show up on weekends when his buddies are visiting even though he doesn't do "that shit" (i.e, drugs) anymore?
- How many second chances do you give a guy who hits you even though you wouldn't dream of seeing your mom, daughter, cousin, best friend, niece, roommate get abused?
- Why is everything always your fault?
- Why does he get mad every time you try to better yourself? He says it's you're way of putting him down, right?
- Why does he see your friends, family, co-workers, or even total strangers as such a threat?
- How does he take care of you, exactly? Can you actually say how he contributes positively to your life, livelihood, and well-being?
- If he drinks around your family after you've asked him not to (even on holidays), why do you expect him to change?
- Why are you worthless when you have a job and keep up with the kids and cook and clean the house and kiss that's asshole's butt trying your best to make him happy?
- How does he treat your kids, really? When they were born, would you have dreamed of letting anyone talk to your kids that way? Would you have let your family or in-laws or teachers or anyone hit them or cuss them? So why can this guy get away with it?
- If every bad joke or snide comment is about Spics, niggers, Hebes, Polacks, crackers, or wetbacks, why do you think he's not racist?
- Do you even have a life of your own anymore? You know, friends, nights out with the girls, family get-togethers, lunches with co-workers, alone time outside of your home? He controls everything, even phone time, doesn't he?
If you see a pattern here, it's time to change it, but you knew that already, didn't you? Why spend so much of your time miserable? Is he that great? He may have started out as your dream guy, but he's not anymore, and he's not gonna change. It might take you two, three, twenty, ninety tries, but work up the courage to move on. He'll keep coming back or trying to control you or woo you or convince you he's changed, but how long does that really last?
Texas women (and women all over) are pretty damn strong. I have faith in you. Find your support network and stand up for yourself. You're too good to put up with that asshole. Who knows? Dump him for good, stand firm (even when he calls or you hear "your" song or you see pics of you two together on that one great weekend), and you could finally, actually find the guy you were looking for all along!
