I've figured out I am being strung along and I think I will just string him along. I've stopped the sex and have become unpredictable and unavailable. He doesn't seem to like that much.

Am I wrong for doing this for a few weeks before I end it? It does make me feel a little bit better. After all, he has been lying to me and just telling me what I want to hear to keep me around for you know what.

What goes around ,comes around.

He deserved to be paid back with interest! LOL!

He needs to be taught a lesson.

He reaped what he sowed.

I won't judge you.

oldfool agony auntWell, I think it may be rather empowering for you. You're putting yourself in the driver's seat and making it clear that YOU are calling the shots. Playing with the mouse before you kill it sounds like fun.

But don't make a habit of this kind of thing. You could become a real manipulative bitch if you get used to fooling around with mens' emotions. Try not to play games: it can be very destructive of relationships.

Ta. It does seem wrong but it does feel right when I'm doing it. I suppose I've always done the right thing in the past but honestly sometimes I wish I would have done the wrong thing occasionally. Being a goody goody feels like being a fool.

Just end it with him, if this is what you're planning to do. Yes, revenge can feel good when you've felt so used, but you're only making yourself as bad as he is. Why sink to his level? It's childish.

What benefit is there apart from revenge. Be the better person and you will feel good again.

Danielepew agony auntYes, you are wrong in doing this. Since you have determined he is stringing you along, the best course of action is simply to end it. Doing that is always wrong. Another wrong does not make a wrong right.

Take care.

Tremor agony auntI would suggest you just break it off. Don't sink to his level.

Revenge may be sweet, but there's no dignity in it, and by stringing him along you are just as bad as he.
