When A Relationship Is Not A Relationship

I had a visit from an old boyfriend just this weekend and can not believe how much I dreaded his visit.  After twenty some years of being what I thought was friends, I realized I was just a pick me up after each of his other breakups or a time killer till he found a new girl.  I am glad that I did have him visit one more time to set solid my realization that we were not even friends anymore.  When do you finally cut someone loose that you believed cared about you.  Well I found out with this visit that we were not communicating on the same page and never would be.  Here was a person that communicated only with his head and not his heart.  It was all about him and he had to be right no matter what.  Are you involve with someone like that?  Run!  It does not change unless the person wants to change and in this case this person believed that he was right and there was no need for change.  Now I know why twenty years has gone by and we are still many miles apart.  I have realized that this is just an acquaintance now and one that I do not wish to continue communicating with in the future.  Sometimes you just have to realize when it is time to cut your losses and move on for good.  There are alot of great people out in the world, there is no need to get bogged down with one who doesn't really care and has an all about me attitude.
