            I think my boyfriend deserves capitol punishment. The only reason I haven’t already broken up with him is that he is bigger then I.  Even when we are in the mist of a conversation, his attention wonders.  Usually, he is looking at another women.  As you can tell, he takes me for granite.  Nothing I say effects him, but getting though to him has become a matter of principal.  He doesn’t have the since he was born with.  I shutter to think what is going to happen to our relationship if he dose not change his ways. I wont a man that I can depend on.  I cannot except any other kind.  Before the end of the week, I’m going to put his pitcher in my chester drawers forever.  The time for forgiveness has past.  Their is no hope for the future.
