Because I'm an idiot.
You may be an idiot, but, at least you're an HONEST idiot!
Because I'm an idiot.

Dear Abby
I'm so confused. I've been going out with this girl for a really long time, almost 50 years. She's a swell gal and everything, but lately… I dunno, it just seems kind of fruitless. I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels in this relationship, going nowhere fast.
When I first got to know her, back in 1966, well she was one of 6 girls available; and since she was in my home town, it only made sense to be attracted to her.
And, wow… Right away, in 1967, we went all the way! Like, I mean, ALL THE WAY. God, that was fun and hot, but I was so naïve and young back then that, to be honest, I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I should have.
Abby, I still remember that wonderful time—my very first time! But that's the problem, Abby. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but that was my only time. I've never done it with her since.
Now, I know I could have gone with other girls and had a few quickies here and there, but that just isn't me. I've stuck with this girl through thick and thin, and believe me, it's been pretty thin lately. Although I should admit that I was seeing her sister on the sly in 1992 and 1993… That girl really rocked! She didn't mind putting out, and she reminded me how much fun it is to go all the way! But she's just faded away now. Kinda sad really… I bet she'll be moving from town real soon.
But back to my true love. Oh, there've been some great times, don't get me wrong. In 1993, wow, we almost did it again (can you imagine, that would have meant that I would have done both her and her sister that year!), but she just stopped at the last minute. Oh so close. Then in 1994, she again brought me to the brink and then just suddenly went cold once again (God, she loved to tease back then!)
She went thru another teasing phase in 1999. I really thought we'd go all the way that time, but no, she turned the faucets off again just when I was getting very aroused. I really thought I'd score with her in 2002, but—yes, you guessed it— she just went frigid once again at a really critical time.
Honestly, Abby, I didn't mind the teasing. That was fun in its own way, although nothing like going all the way.
But this is the problem, Abby: Since 2002 she's been rather dull. Like, not even a hint of fun, and she doesn't even tease in the slightest way. I put in all this time, dating her about 80 times a year, but I get no rewards. Yeah, some dates we might kiss and hold hands and she looks lovely that night, but a lot of nights she is just awful, real hideous. And her attitude? Let's not go there.
Anyway, she told me she was getting a makeover this summer, so I was really looking forward to seeing her. She told me about all the things she'd be doing, like fixing her back end, improving her front end, and working on her attitude.
Well, we've had 80 dates so far this year, and I'm so disappointed! Abby, her back end is as droopy as ever! And her front? Saggy and soft best describes it—no firmness whatsoever. This girl won't be winning any beauty contests, believe me!
There are now 29 other girls I could date, but I just can't. I really love this one girl. To be honest, the other girls kinda revolt me (especially the witch from Montreal, oh, and the one from Vancouver… God, they make me puke, they're so full of themselves).
But I feel like I'm wasting my time, Abby. I've invested a lot of time, money, and emotion into this girl, but I just don't think I'm going to get rewarded any time soon. I'm seriously considering going celibate or at least drastically cutting down on the number of dates I have with this girl. Abby, what should I do?
Been a Leafs fan since I was born I suppose. Growing up in Toronto I couldn't imagine supporting another team. Perhaps that indicates that I have a mild mental health issue.
i don't think "Stockholm Syndrome" is applied well here.
You are free to cheer for any team you like. No one put a gun to your head to like the Leafs.
I am an idiot and fool, who apparently loves to get repeatedly abused.
Cuz my Dad was a Habs fan.
