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.
