preach it, sister (a long one)little_old_meJune 16 2006, 13:18:13 UTC
i had this boyfriend when i left for china the first time. we left on uncertain terms, but continued to talk just about every day and (i should add) many of our conversations were of the kind that only folks who are still dating have, if you catch my drift...
so anyway, he comes to visit and we have sex. after he leaves it comes out that he's been dating someone else...the entire time i've been gone, and not only sleeping with her, but also letting her read my emails to him. i ask, 'were you ever going to tell me? or just let me come home and find out?' his responce, "just let you come home i guess.'
there were about 10 people--mutual friends--whom i was still in contact with at this point, and none of them had the common courtesy to even mention it to me. when they all knew full well what was going on, on my end and his--that i thought we were still together, and he didn't.
the stories we could share...my only consolation is that all but one of mine have come crawling back later on talking about what a big mistake they made; you'd be surprised how satisfying the old adage 'fool me once blah blah blah' is in those situations... needless to say i am so glad you found somoeone who makes you this happy and treats you as well as you treat him. you totally deserve it. gives me hope. :)

i know i deserve it, and that's what makes it worth it. i couldn't have it if i didn't deserve it, if both he and i hadn't been burned before... ya know.
yeah, why is it that 'friends' decide to just omit certain things from conversations? makes ya want to hit'em in the face. or kick'em in the babymaker. whatever happened to loyalty, anyway? i wouldn't have dropped half the friends i have in the past if i hadn't known that they had said awful things, believed terrible things, or perpetuated saddening behavior.
some people's children.
it's a shame ordinary outcasts as we are ... we're too strong to be victims. we should have an exgirlfriend charity.
