Lying by omission. I’ve heard this term one too many times before, mostly during arguments with ex-girlfriends.
The adage goes, if you have nothing good to say, then best say nothing at all - which is why I haven’t told Mari that I had dinner with Katie the other day. It happened when Puddlemere won against the Harpies. Katie, who as I’ve mentioned previously is one of their Chasers, ran up to me on my way to the dugout and we had a bit of teasing about the match before she asked if I wanted to get something to eat.
Mari was working late that night and I was eating alone anyway, so I decided to take Katie up on her offer. Besides, it was just a friendly date, very casual. For Merlin’s sake, we had cheeseburgers, nothing fancy, and we even split the bill. (I offered, but she refused.) No snogging or anything potentially toxic like that. So that’s not exactly cheating, is it?
I believe some form of advice from any sane human being would sort me out. Though I don't exactly know what my problem is.
In any case, if any of you old boys would like to grab a beer, I’ll be at Joe’s tonight. A round’s on me so ALL you lads better take a break from your busy lives and swing by. Godric knows I need some sense crammed into my skull.
OOC: Let’s just say Mari won’t see this post. How? I don’t know. She just won’t. Kthnxbai.
