This newly minted relationship is losing its sheen rather quickly. I mean, the sex is great but she can only go for so long. That's not the issue though. My doubts come from the continued presence of her ex in her life, and the subsequent hell he's throwing on her and me. I've never directly contacted him, but I know he's still checking her phone because he'll respond to things I say to her. There's one of the problems--his complete inability to respect her privacy (and why I'm glad I have a password lock on my phone). Another problem is he has access to her phone meaning she's still seeing him for reasons unknown. Now I can easily take care of a petty man like him, especially since he's either a trafficker or dealer of meth. All I have to do is file an anonymous report with the IRS about unreported income. That might not sound like a big deal, but the law enforcement arm of the IRS pulls double duty as the guys ready to take a bullet for the president, better known as the Secret Service.
She's also bipolar. Which makes me wonder why I always seem to land in relationships with girls that are more fucked up than I am. A rare feat I must say, but not a laudable one. Also, she's pretty hardcore conservative. I can deal with that. I beat my dad in political arguments and he made brick walls look flimsy.
So this is what I have: a relationship with a bipolar girl with a storied history and an ex-boyfriend who doesn't understand the basics of common sense or decency. I'd rather keep seeing this girl honestly, just at a slower pace. Even then, I need to know more about her past and get this ex to sit down and shut the fuck up. I'm not particularly looking forward to the conversation we'll have to have about all of this. But I've let my subconscious deal with it enough. I have bigger responsibilities and problems. I don't need to add to them by continuing a relationship that is showing serious signs of destructiveness. I'm just too old for this shit.
