DEAR KAREEM: Why Won’t He Come Home?
Hey Kareem,
I’m a 21-year-old woman. I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year, but he has been away in Alabama since September. However, he’s been done with school since February, and he’s still not home – he said he has responsibilities that he has to take care of before he leaves. I understand he has 5-year-old son there, and I understand that he won’t just leave him, but I’m ready for him to come home. I think there are other factors – like another female or possibly another child in his life – that are keeping him there. He first said he needed $40 to get home for gas, which I sent. A month later, he said he needed $50.00 to get home, and I sent that, too, but he’s still not home. What should I do? Should I end the relationship?
Kareem Says:
Sweetie, I’m sorry to tell you… this is not a relationship. You need to keep it moving. He has given you all the signs of having another life going on. I would say that he is out of town moving work, but clearly he’s broke if he asking you for $40 and $50 dollar loans. If you like getting played, at least find a man with some money. It sounds like he is balancing you, another woman, or a drug habit. If I were you, I’d cut my losses.

He has something else going on that does not include you. You are obviously not his priority. Other things are more important to him. Cut him loose now (like today) and start your healing process. Life is too short to be holding on to something that you know will never be.

“Why haven’t you when down there to see what was really going on? I am a guy so if it I was in your shoes I would hand deliver the money and see what was really going on…I don’t have time for the B.S.

you’re just naive, and that’s fine because you are learning. you deserve better, and once you accept that and move on you will be ok. chalk it up to another life lesson under your belt and take care of you.

Wow!
These days no one can get any empathy or sympathy by others.
Love to read others opinion such as the ones above me.
I know am human,was young before, didn’t have the pleasure of learning about how to date, relationships or marriage.
I’m appreicative that Kareem has advise this young lady to move on with her life.
If I could give a suggestion to her, it would be start reading books about relationships by experts, ask people that are in real truly positive relatioships.
So next time she can recognize a pimp player thats trying to play her or she will not make the same mistake again.
