My boyfriend is so egocentric. He’s got an ego the size of Mount Everest and he doesn’t even know it. All he ever talks about is himself and what an awesome guy he is, how good he is at his job. He’s a real estate agent so he reckons he is a really good listener. What a joke!! I’m surprised he even remembers my name that’s how much he’s been listening to me lately. Mr Egocentric is what I’ve been referring to him as lately. He’s just so egocentric it’s ridiculous and everybody knows it except him. I guess some people would say that men and their ego’s are just part of human nature, maybe so, if the man in question has a healthy dose of ego, but this guy is off the Richter scale-seriously! I said it to him once, something like ‘You’ve got such a big ego’. and do you know what? He took it as a compliment. As in ‘Your so awesome and good looking and charismatic and so good at your job and such a good listener, you should absolutely love yourself to death’! He smiled and said ‘Thanks Honey, I love you too’. Note that he called me Honey, I’m not kidding that he can’t remember my name.

We’ve been together for nearly a year now. Thank God I decided not to move in with him when he asked me a couple of months ago. He wanted me on hand 24/7 just to be there to stroke his ego when it needed stroking which is basically always. I think he might be starting to realise that I’m not that into him and his ego these days. He’s gone a bit quiet on me and I think it might be because I laughed when he told me he thought he should have won the Salesman Of The Year award at work. The boss gave it to someone else and he just could not believe it. Anyway he was pretty cut up about it, and I laughed. Salesman Of The Year also gets a bonus and a week in Hawaii so when I laughed it really was not the right response but part of me was so relieved I didn’t have to spend a week in some God-awful tourist trap with Mr egocentric.

Fair enough if your thinking ‘Well if your stupid enough to stay with him what are you whining about?’ And that is true. The thing is though, thanks to his ego he is actually very, very good looking and has a great body. Oh, how shallow of me, I know. But it’s not like I’m going to marry him or anything. I guess I’m just waiting for The One to show up and sweep me off my feet. Until then I guess Mr Egocentric is a bit of fun, as long as I don’t have to talk to him too much or listen to him drone on and on and on about himself. Wouldn’t mind a week in Hawaii with Mr Salesman Of The Year though. He’s pretty sexy and something tells me he got the award because he doesn’t put himself and his ego before his job and his relationships. Maybe Mr Salesman Of The Year is also The One. It’s only human nature for a girl to take her opportunities when she can, isn’t it?
