TurnAbout….
Ain’t that the damn truth!! Then you add in the stupid things guys do and you’ve got a history that is hard to overcome. SM and I have a history. But lately she is making her own history.
She has been dating the good old boy who contacted her on R U Interested on Facebook. She has had other invitations but (so she says) has not followed up. This guy is smitten with her. Talks for hours. Wants to see her all the time. And I can see why. He seems nice enough. She just wants to have fun. Think he would marry her in a minute.
After helping her at her house, they have been out to eat with some of her family. He brought his kids/grandkids (another post) to her house and they played with her grandkids. All things I should be doing!
She keeps saying that she won’t tell me what is going on, but then tells me what is going on. She keeps telling me she does not want to hurt me, while reminding me I have hurt her, but she keeps telling me what is going on. I think on some level she is enjoying that part of it. Knowing that it bothers me and hurts me.
Yeah, love hurts. Many of our blogger friends have expressed their hurt. But it is usually the OW or OM expressing that hurt. Here the tables have turned– it is the MM.
Some have wondered if their MM cared. If they ever thought about them and what they had together. Well, I’m guilty. Hold your applause, please. Minimal gloating allowed. No piling on.
And this is not fair play!
2P….you do realize that you don’t have to just sit there feeling hurt or sad.
You could climb up on your white horse, ride in, and claim the woman you love. Yes, it would cause trouble, stress, and commotion in your life, but that would eventually smooth out. Will the regret of doing NOTHING ever leave you alone?
I do feel sad for you, my friend. Really. I do. On the other hand, I commend SM for finally being able to let go of you enough to find someone who can make her happy and share real and true moments of her life…and his.

Well, I can’t agree more that love really hurts. But it can only continue hurting those who don’t know when it’s time to stay and time to quit. It’s a fact that when one door closes, another one, possibly even wider than the former opens. Sadly many will ignore the open door just in front of them, crying and wishing that the closed door would reopen. Well, easier said than done but there comes a time when we must discard the old and embrace the new even when we are pulled back by the familiarity syndrome (wishing to stick to the devil we know) and repulsed by the fear of the unknown future (fearing the angel we don’t know)
