Am I Being Used?

Q: I’ve been involved with a man for a
few months and I recently noticed that
he’s pulling away from me. One night
he called me and acted strangely so I
asked why he was calling. He said it
was just a “booty call.” I’m not sure
what he meant by this, but by his
tone, I knew I’d been demoted from.
What did he mean by this?
A: You’re right, a “booty call” is not
a good thing. This derogatory term
refers to the act of calling someone
solely fro soliciting sex. That’s it.
It’s a call that usually comes in late
at night, as an after thought.
Basically your role in that kind of
“relationship” is to be their sexual
outlet.
It sounds like it’s time to move on.
Once someone becomes nothing more in
their partner’s life than a means for
sexual release, all hope of
resurrecting the relationship is over.
As you well know, that is an insulting
place to be.
Your partner has put you in a
temporary holding place until he finds
a replacement for you. Once he does,
he’ll stop calling altogether. Save
yourself the unnecessary anguish and
end it before you get hurt any more.
The next time he calls asking for a
“bootie call, “ tell him your booty is
looking for someone new and no longer
available to him.
