Italian Not so Stalian?

Have I told you about the Italian? God Bless him. He has been through the ringer with women. Unfortunately, you can tell this immediately. He uses the excuse "That is because you are a woman" for just about everything. I could say that I put on my socks backwards and his response would always be the same "That's because you are a woman".

Now, I didn't discover this immediately. I had been on many dates with the Italian. I had even gone hiking OUTSIDE - and if you know me well, you know that rarely happens. Anyway, all was well and then he went on a trip...we had made plans for when he came back. He was taking a red-eye back to Boston and he insisted on seeing me that very same day. I couldn't believe it! I said I would make dinner and all was well...or so I thought.

Well he came home around 8am and I didn't hear from him until around 2pm. At that point, I was thinking this guy blew me off! I had created a wonderful meal for that evening and I am getting blown off! That is bull.  However, when I finally did hear from him, he was telling me how tired he was and how he couldn't get out of bed. I told him no problem, you stay there and rest. Oh but to my surprise, he insisted on coming to my house.

Once he got there, immediately he started to tell me he was just so tired, he was only staying for the meal and then heading out. Fine. NO PROBLEMO. Quite frankly, I didn't want a crankzilla in the house. I guess the odds were not in my favour that evening, because his jaded self came out and I heard more than one "That's because you are a woman".

OY! Such nonsense! If there is a problem with women, take a break pal. Go to therapy a bit more so that you aren't using that excuse all the time. It gets old.
