That lets me keep being hurt when I *know* he does this frequently and can't be relied on to do things like call when he's said he will.
If I *know* that he does this stuff all the time, not only with me, but with others, why do I expect that any particular time will be any different?
Shouldn't I expect that he won't call and be pleasantly surprised when he does?
I went through this with my mother too. So I know what I need to do. Never ever ever rely on her for anything whatsoever. Never ever ever expect her to behave like a rational human being. And then you can have an adequate relationship with her.
