Keep your hands out of my cookie jar

I like boys, they like me...

...but their girlfriends don't.

I'm not sure what it is about me, but I am the girl that that boyfriends like to forget about their girlfriends for. I'm the one they talk to for hours, days, weeks and they don't mention that they are in a relationship. I'm the one they tell after the deed is done that there is a misses.

For example, lets look at my last three relationships:

Case 1 - "I am in love with you but I promised my girlfriend we wouldn't break up again."

And I fell for it. I ate it up. I thought it was so sweet and I felt bad he was stuck in a relationship he wasn't happy in. He would call me and tell me how he felt. How he wanted to be with me and not her. I would give him advice. I was there for him. Finally they broke up, and he turned around and pulled the same shit on me.

Case 2 - "I can't do this, I've got a girl."

After my ex and I broke up we had a few encounters. One of them resulted in his coming, and my leaving of his life forever, right after he told me he had a new girlfriend. I should have seen it coming. He cheated on me throughout our entire relationship, so I guess this was like a reverse karma.

Case 3 - "Umm, you know, you have a girlfriend..."

We were friends. Well, friends with tension of the sexual kind. One night after some drinks shit happened, and he had a girl friend. They broke up. We started to hook up. Until one unfortunate day after when I looked at his facebook, and he had a girlfriend. What. I was naturally pissed. And he was sorry. We continued to hook up. He would tell me they would fight, and he didn't want to be with her. I felt so bad for him. When they finally broke up we got together officially. And what do you know! He did the same thing to me.

These are just examples of official relationships. There are countless other guys I have come in contact with who were with someone else and most of them did everything to make sure I didn't know about it. I try my best to keep these guys from being cheaters. I am not a cheater myself. When I am in a relationship I do not stray. That's not my style. Despite my good intentions, karma keeps setting me up for disaster.

I'm not sure what it is about me but for some reason these guys can't resist putting their hands in my cookie jar -- no matter if they have a batch of their own.
