Of course, what he expressed to me was that the relationship was OVER -- that he was going home, and they were getting divorced.

I let this all go, Gill . . . when I learned he was STILL playing her . . . and she was allowing it. I don't make 7 or 8 phone calls a day to him; in fact, I don't even make 1!!!! But, hey -- thanks for dredging up the thread and making it "live" again on ETJ! At least new folks on the Board will get a visual of him so when they're in Ocho next, they'll know who he is and to stay far away from him (or if they're looking for a "good time" with somebody with no scruples they can find him!).

I do care about Nicky though. Just hope she smartens up before she needs HIM to Western Union her $50.00.

By the way, welcome to ETJ!!!

Hunny - forgive me but you were the one that 'dredged' it up when you did the update...

However...

I for one appreciate you story as it has afforded me some clarity of my own personality...

I live on the assumption that love is true - even when those around you are trying to tell you that something / someone is bad for you, they don't really know anything 'cos they are not the one feeling that love and therefore they are just jealous!!!

As I read particularly the bit about his sister and the meeting in the airport, I thought 'this man really loves her!!' and I felt sorry for his wife who really is the definition of a visa... thats all she is to him (obviously at this point I had no idea about the girlfriend!!)

I admit I still feel that way - I still feel that Corey really loves you... as in REALLY LOVES YOU... you don't give him 'anything' but he still tells you that he loves you... but you are not his first love... you are not his true love... his true love, like so many of his kind, is MONEY!!!

Hence it is acceptable in the eyes of his wife and his girlfriend that he pursues these relationships as they all equate to money... and the streets are allegedly paved with gold!

Alex - to close this thread or wish it to 'die a death' would be wrong just because someone spoke out against the content or the author - the one thing Jamaican's are supposed to be good at is REASONING... and we reason through discussion.

This thread is very much a lesson to all who care to read... go into relationships with your eyes open, especially when embarking on a holiday romance... most time there is more than meets the eye!

Sad but true.

WOW, Jel.

I must say that I am impressed by the logics in your words..
No sarcasm.


Even your point to me, of keeping the thread open and to (like Jamaicans) reason it out is worthy of consideration.

I only hope that others will take serious heed to your points and handle it as maturely.
If so, then I am all for that.

Kudos.

Wow, I honestly don't think Corey loves anyone but himself! I think this is all some sick game for him!

However, what I'm saying LW is to mention Nikki's occupation and what SHE has done for Corey...is what I have a problem with!

I have been in Nikki's postion before. However, as many friends and family tried to tell mi dat he was an a$$hole...I wouldn't and couldn't see it, till I was ready!

Mi Granny had a saying..."Those who don't hear, mus' feel!"

So, LW fi yuh or mi fi siddung and tell "Nikki, she need fi duh dis and dat, is useless until Nikki is ready fi see what a creep Corey is!"

However, as a friend it is my job to support har in whatever decision she mek han be there for deh good han bad times, without har feeling as if I am judging har. Or scorning har for har decisions.

Anyway, dat's my 2 cents...I just wanted to remind yuh that Nikki is a real person, with real feelings and a real life to maintain...so please watch deh details yuh release pon yuh thread!

Bless-ed,

Gill

Re: My unexpected journey . . .

For what it's worth . . . I told Nicky the exact same thing. "This will be over when SHE's ready for it to be over -- and not until."

I respect your feedback with regard to personal information, DYT . . . been so wrapped up in this since October, I'm certain I wasn't thinking clearly at all times. Respect.

Jel . . . thanks for chiming in and supporting me. I made one phone call to Corey -- the day everything happened . . . and then not again. When he called me the night before he left and asked me to see him at the airport, I thought the same thing: "He loves me." It wasn't until Nicky called me a couple of weeks ago that I realized that, as DYT said, Corey's playing a sick game -- and that his only love is $$$$.

Just so you know, DYT . . . I am leaving them alone. I still have NOT made a single call to Corey, and I've made one call to Nicky (through this whole mess) -- and that was about 10 days ago . . . and it was just to check in on her after our 2 hour conversation -- and I never mentioned the dreaded "Corey situation".

Jelakins - You hit the nail on the head with both of these statements -

Deyoungting, I can respect your desire to come here and post in what you believe is support of your friend - But you have to realize here that two people were seriously hurt - Both Nikki and Lilly - it is up to the two of them to heal, and sometimes that can come from posting on boards like this, or from connecting with each other and helping each other through what happened - I know from my own situation that I forged a connection with the "other woman" - and we worked through our grief together, as odd as that sounds.

I know you meant to defend your friend, but the only thing that anyone can do right now is stand back and let Nikki and Lilly work through it in their own way, and be there to support the TWO of them - They have to come to grips within themselves with what has happened, is happening, and for Nikki, it is up to her to make the decision that she has had enough of Corey - All that anyone can do is be there with a sympathetic ear to listen when she needs it, until she makes the choice herself that it is over -

In relationships such as this, there is a wall at the end of the relationship - Until the individual hits that wall and breaks through it, they will keep bouncing back and forth into it.

Re: My unexpected journey . . .

Reg-Diva,

I think LW understands what I had a problem with and has apologized for it.

I totally understand that everyone has to work through their pain in their own way. If this helps LW, then G-d bless her and she should keep on writing, purging and healing.

I agree that this whole ordeal if nothing else has been a learning experience for all outside readers and will hopefully make both Lilly and Nikki stronger once they get past their pain.

Hennyway, I am not a War monger or a troll...trying to stir up trouble. I was just being a friend and have said my piece. If you knew me on VJ you would knoa I love fi give joke han laugh! However,I am also a woman that believes in fairness...and I didn't think it was fair of Lilly to devulge so much of NIKKI's personal information and details of Nikki's relationship wid Corey.

I has been a pleasure speaking with you all. I wish you all nothing but the best...especially you LW...I hope you find the courage to love again. I did...and you will also! There is a good guy out there that deserves your love.

Hennyway, I need to get back to VJ and prepare for mi upcoming interview! Lawd knows that JA embassy is going need all the attention I can give hit!

Take care and walk good!

Bless-ed love,

Gill
