The lengths some people go to....

So Mohawk Man just told one helluva lie to get rid of me.  Instead of being an actual grown-up and simply saying he was no longer interested, MM claimed that he was checking into rehab today.  The only vice he has is drinking, and it never appeared to get to the point of where it was truly debilitating his daily life.

Having dated a (at the time) recovering drug addict, and having met other recovering addicts through that ex, I am familiar with the lengths people usually push themselves before finally realizing that they do have a problem.  Since I have not seen this present in his life, what little of it that I was exposed to, I honestly can't believe Mohawk Man when he claims that he is going to rehab, even with giving him the benefit of the doubt.  Addiction is a truly terrible thing, and it should never be treated lightly.  Thus, it should never be used as the basis for a lie to get out of something.

That someone would go to such lengths just to avoid having to deal with me in the future seriously makes me wonder what the fuck is so damn horrible about me.  I'd like to think that there's something fundamentally wrong with him for going to such extremes, but obviously the root of the problem is me. If I wasn't such a horrible person, then Mohawk Man wouldn't feel the need to go to such extremes with his lie.  This, of course, just leads to the eternal question of why the fuck am I still alive if I'm such a waste of molecules?
