Is there anyone in your life that CONSTANTLY lets you down?

Question

I swear, my BF is just becoming completely USELESS in the "count on me" department. It's gotten to the point where the only time I am not disappointed is if I expect ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from him....

Answer 1

yes there is but I'm not saying who just in case he reads my answers
I'm getting really really tired of it

hint: he lives here and he's an adult

Answer 2

Well, there is a school of thought that says expect nothing and you will never be disappointed. It's just a rotten shame if that's the way you have to feel about your so-called best friend. I would have to ask what other qualifications they have that make them eligible for the title. Maybe you need to shop around for a new BF?

Answer 3

Yes, my little sister had been missing for near a year and then last week she finally called my mom. She said she was going to come see us for the holidays and then surprise, surprise she's not. She , in the past, would tell me that she was going to come over (in the am) to see me (when I would visit NC and stay with my mom) and then about 10 pm I would finally get a call from her. SHE CAN NOT BE COUNTED ON AT ALL AND I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN FED UP WITH IT (sister or not)

Answer 4

My brother! All my life I have tried to stick up for him but he is a loser sometimes. I mean he is 27, married, has 2 kids and is living in a 2 bed apartment. He works for my husband and if it weren't for that he would have been fired many times! He is a pain in the A**. He has ADD but takes meds which dont help. I feel bad but it is like he wants to just skate through life and things should be just handed to him. Like everyone owes him something. I want to smack the crap out of him!!!!

Answer 5

that's the exact approach i've taken with dealing with my daughter's biological father. he's completely worthless, and we can't depend on him for anything at all, child support, visitation, nothing. so the only solution to the problem was to stop expecting him to do anything worthwhile, therefore i'm not nearly as disappointed with him. my daughter deserves a father that she can be proud of, and now she's found that in my fiance.

Answer 6

Ha ha. My father did until he finally disappeared for good and I wrote him off. Last person was my (now ex) boyfriend. He started hanging up on me whenever I wanted to talk about my recent depression because it 'stressed him out'. If I started to cry, he'd do this annoying sighing thing and say "I gotta go" and "why don't you call one of your friends?" He said my expectations were 'ridiculous' but after 4 years, I thought I could trust him. He says he still cares about me and he's still 'there for me' but I'm not allowed to see him or call him anymore until I'm 'stable' again.

Answer 7

No. I do not associate with people like that. I need all the positive energy I can get so anyone who lets me down is someone I remove from my life.

Answer 8

My employer. I had a performance review yesterday, and my boss said I appear "disengaged" from work... yes, that's right, and the working environment is what disengages me! I've never been so consistently let down as by my employer recently.

Answer 9

Kick him to the curb!! My brother is the one that always lets the whole family down. He's a pathological liar.

Answer 10

Yeah I do the same with my husband. He's a constant let down and I keep hoping he will get better.

Answer 11

Sorry its a rough spot for you right now..hope it gets better in time..Not for me personally but my ol man's Dad lets him down all the time & that hurts me too..
