Be nice to men, brehs.
what's the word on being friends with an ex (mistake i know now, first one I tried this with), one with a kid, has a great job but is going through tough times

-said ex eventually get's herself a bf, but continues to ask/rely on you for help/assistance on things like nothing has changed, not really conscious to anything you may have going on/lined up unless you tell her, but is understanding if you dont have time.
-keep in mind you were able to give so much time initially because you were not in anything official yourself, just the casual breezies, even doing a bid of friends with benefits with the said ex every once in a while, and of course the ex was single, otherwise you wouldn't be there that closely in the first place unless it was for fukkery
-and you were cool with helping out early on because she is actually good person that helped you out in the past during yall relationship, plus her son is a good kid and reminds you of yourself at his age (so easy to get attached to kids
), and needs that male guidanceotherwise you wouldn't be there that closely in the first place unless it was for fukkery
- during this time you get a tone/sense that maybe the ex is now finally seeing somebody official (cool hopefully it' s a good dude, is nice to the kid and etc), just a gut feeling no confirmation, and from there you slowly tone your contributions down.
-once she finally notifies you of the new bf she has, you explain to the ex (in a calm manner) you are cutting off the financial aspect of assistance you were providing and that maybe her bf should take over that job since they are that serious
NOT MY CONCERN, why should I continually do a favor when im getting nothing out of it? 
- ex gets allover this and claims she cant tell her new bf about her financial situation because of embarrassment

, and is still
when you wont budge on your stance
- ex is still allcalling you all types of hypocrites, having agendas, and etc, looking to make a friend feel guilty by using the word "friend" as a crutch (in my opinion)
-ex also claims that the bf knows about you (keep in mind this is: staying overnight at her apt frequently to help out with the kid, prior relationship-both as bf&gf and recently friends with bennies, financial assistance, being a male role model/father figure to her soon to be 4 year old son, all for the past 3 years)
can someone explain to me what's going here?I can go into more detail if needed (kind of complicated), but what is so hard for a chick to understand about the different levels between a guy that is a friend (with prior history like an ex/no bad blood) and a guy that is now "thee" man in her relationship? Am I wrong for cutting my resources off? I mean her man should be that type of support in my opinion.
She has this boyfriend (i found proof that they love each other even) yet still to this day wants to contact a brotha first when she has emergencies like needing to go to the hospital and stuff like that.
Why would this brotha be the first contact on some seriousness like that. I understand friends help out in the time of need, but still some of this behavior is weird to me.
my opinion is you got to set clear boundaries on what is and isn't acceptable for a woman in a relationship with you, but if she keeps on violating those rules, instead of trying to mold this woman into doing the right thing, let her get to where she wants to be, which is with them negroes in the club. It's kind of like you attending an Ivy League. They got clear rules on what is and isn't acceptable... if you constantly break those rules, they aren't going to baby you and try to make you into a decent student who is worthy to attend that university. They will expel you and open that spot up for another student who can follow the rules. a ho is going to be a ho, so don't put no ho in the role of a queen.
I think that would be the best option as long as you write something nice/personal/encouraging in the card.He said he likes cookies so I'm going to bake him some from scratch and attach a card.

im content with not having any at the moment but these late lonely nights are getting rough with no cheeks 
This why I've always said that the best way to punish a broad is total indifference and withdrawing all your attention. Not putting your hands on her or engaging in any back and forth bullshyt arguments over nothing, just shut off like a light switch and be done with her altogether. They hate that shyt and can't handle that. I just KNEW I was gonna be hearing from that broad again, either directly or indirectly through my cousin. I ain't gonna lie though, a part of me felton the inside, but I wasn't playing a game, I meant it when I told her she can delete me and go message another dude instead. fukk I look justifying myself to a bytch I don't even know?
Thankfully, I've developed and become a hell of a lot wiser and tougher - and I'm still growing. I still slip from time to time, but overall I've come a long way. Sometimes you have to go through pressure in order to become a diamond.
#HOH for 2014.
End of the semester, exams were nearing and i called her one afternoon to ask about something....no answer. No call back or text apologizing and asking wassup. So i finally said aii its like that? 
asked who this is..and when she told me it was her..i said nah and deleted the text, eventhough i did finish the assignment. 
realest shyt i never wrote. There is this broad in my class that i had wit me all throughout my program. We was cool and all until about end of last semester. I unno if its her personality or whatnot, but i tried callin her couple times throughout the span of the semester cuz i hate texting and i preferred speaking over the phone as it answered the questions i had much quicker. Well, in the beginning, she would either pick up or call back quickly. Then i noticed her behaviour started to change and she began takin awhile to reply to my texts and shyt than normally. One time she apologized in class cuz she didn't call back or text me. I didn't really say anything so i guess she took it as a pass. Well, she began to notice i was starting to distance myself away from her so she pulled me back in with the dreadful i miss you BS. And i kinda fell for it brehsEnd of the semester, exams were nearing and i called her one afternoon to ask about something....no answer. No call back or text apologizing and asking wassup. So i finally said aii its like that?
She texts me during da week before exams asking if i finished our assignment...never responded, deleted the msg and her number.
She in all my classes this semester and i haven't said a word to her. No acknowledgement of her existence either. Funny enough, she texted me few days ago again asking if i finished the assignment due this past tuesdayasked who this is..and when she told me it was her..i said nah and deleted the text, eventhough i did finish the assignment.
I don't give a fukk how long we may have no each other or been together...the minute you cross a line or i see you constantly doin it, indirectly/directly apologizing and then going back to doin it again...you out. Dead. Eradicated.
very good ideawe're not on watch buying level at this time but I can dig the food. He said he likes peanut butter cookies so I'm going to make him some and send it with a note card. Thank you for the response.

I feel your pain my dude...As much as I resist,my libido is too strong I guess...i literally dont have no hoes right now
but at the end of the day i dont have to deal with any bullshyt, started back going to the gym monday and i feel greatim content with not having any at the moment but these late lonely nights are getting rough with no cheeks
