If it's any consolation, I will likely be sending Memorial day sitting in my 500 square foot apartment. You've got 100 square feet on me. Then again, there is a pool in my building so it might not be that bad. Of course, it will probably rain all weekend so, yes, I will probably be sitting in my 500 square foot apartment.

Great post. Like you, I have no patience for people who focus only on the negative. They bring down everyone around them. It's one thing to have a bad day but to make everything a "woe is me" event is just annoying! Good post! I hope that you will have a negative-free weekend.

Friend Drama on 2008-05-16 10:21:09 |

Advice to all women, especially your friend Jen: DO NOT. I repeat: DO NOT look at the profile of a guy you are dating on Match. All it will do is upset you and you will never know what is really going through the mind of the guy based solely on how recently he was active. First of all, it is very possible that someone emailed/winked at FF. He has to log on to check his emails! I was actually told by a relationship "expert" that men often search online simply to relieve stress and keep their minds off of other issues. Jen is also a hypocrite for getting angry at FF after telling him she was going to date other people. So what, if he told her that he didn't want to date? In my opinion, she had no right to get pissed at him and probably looked like an idiot. That's my rant for the morning!

I agree with you wholeheartedly! I guess they can use the logic "if we let one guy get away with it, everyone will do it. It'll be anarchy!" but, really, how many others would actually have the courage to do it? They should have given him a slap on the wrist or fined him some inconsequential fee. I say Kudos to him! Wish I could run around those bases!

I loved Jordan Catalano! I remember the episode when he made out with Angela in the basement of the high school. I so wanted to be the one kissing him. (Even though I was already a college graduate.) I actually work with Marshall Herzkowitz - the writer/producer of My So Called Life (and Thirty Something). I was star struck the first time he emailed me.
I can't believe you've been peed on, shot, arrested and OD on vitamins. That's some exciting life you've lived so far.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the comments/advice. I know Roe and Ellie don't think I should tell Brian how I am feeling but I just don't think I can be friends with him while pretending that my feelings do not go beyond friendship. I feel like that is like living in limbo and can go on indefinitely. Brian is my friend right now; not just some guy I used to date who I no longer see. If he was simply a part of my past, that would be a different story and I certainly wouldn't go back and tell him how I felt. Oh, and I think Ellie changed her mind after reading my other post.

Sounds like a wonderful experience. I think you just motivated me to book my own Reiki session. The last time I had one, I fell asleep with my eyes opened (strange) and woke myself up when I let out a snore! And by the way, sometimes a good cry is the best medicine there is. I often watch sad movies just to induce tears.

When I focus on the positive, it doesn't make me whine any less about men but it does make me appreciate what I DO have. Thanks for reminding me.

Prelude - and your friend is also beginning her relationship based on a lie!! That's nuts. I lied for about 2 months - I said I was 33 when I was 34. I started dating a guy who was younger than me (32) and was SO nervous when I told him that I lied. He laughed about it but I was lying by ONE year and I felt like a fraud. Your friend is lying by 8 years. 8 years!!!! Best of luck to her and her boy toy.

I can empathize with the shower situation. If my neighbor gets in the shower while I am showering, the water turns boiling hot and I have to jump out the way. I usually try to wait until she gets out but she never returns the favor. I started "punishing" her by flushing the toilet every time I hear her in the shower.

My thoughts about your "disturbing thought" - sure, SOME 30 something men only want women in their 20s but not ALL. Those who ONLY want the youngins (and are not also open to women their own age) are usually not looking to settle down - they just want a pretty young thing to shack up with. Maybe they are afraid that a woman in her 30s wants to have a baby post haste and, because they are not ready to "settle down", they don't want to put themselves in that situation.
You are going to have a blast on your vacation. And you deserve it!!

Easy - it sucks to lose your temper and I am sure you felt (feel) bad about it but your children love you unconditionally and will quickly forget about this instance. My mom was going through a difficult divorce at your age and she used to lose her temper with my sisters and I quite often. We always knew she loved us and looking back, I just wish I better understood her situation and could have made her life a bit easier. I am glad that you had a good part of the day as well.

The last chapter on 2008-05-10 11:45:14 |

So, the book really says that the guys are complete aware of their pattern? I would've guessed that they are in denial and think each time that THIS girl will be different, THIS time perhaps we will go the distance. Wow, thinking that they purposely set us up for heartache is hard to take. Not gonna tell you to start dating right away, only you know when you are ready. But I have to disagree with Prelude that the online thing is bad. I know countless people who have met and gotten married after meeting on an online dating site. For me, it is one of the only ways I can meet men since 1) I work so much and 2) all of the men in bars are in their 20s. To all who say that you can meet a guy at the supermarket, I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's an urban dating myth!!

CM to the Wang only lost one game so far this season so I have to give him due props. As far as looks go, my favorite eye candy on the team are Arod, Johnny Damon and Andy Pettite. Yum. I think they could all use a little advice though. It's gonna be a long season but as Yogi Beara said "it ain't over till it's over". I think I will check out Corey Hart on the Brewer's website.

Welcome back, Mandie. I missed your posts! As usual, this one cracked me up. I, too, would love to be a baseball player's wife. But the players on my team are always accused of something like taking steroids or sleeping with a hooker. If not that, they are applauded one day for a good game and booed the next for a shitty game. Kind of stressful. Maybe marrying a "normal" guy isn't so bad.

Ladiegodiva - I suffer from chronic headaches - pretty much daily. I went on so many different medications and nothing really helped - some made me gain weight, others gave me a rash if I didn't drink enough water, but nothing made the headaches go away. My doctor suggested Botox but it was too expensive for me so now I am on a daily routine of Excedrin. At least it works. I have a headache now and am just waiting for it to kick in. Sorry you have to go through this as well! Good luck with the Botox. Stay away from the Spinal Tap - ouch!!

If the feelings you had for the person ran deep at the time, I think it is absolutely normal to still feel something after time has passed and you've both moved on. Then again, if the break-up was amicable (no unfinished business), I think the likelihood of getting the "old feelings back" and not just feelings of fondness for that person, is less. It really depends on the couple.

He's probably dealing with his wife and hasn't had a chance to talk to you. He might not even realize how concerned you are. And, even if he found it, you didn't write anything bad about him! But he didn't find it!
I agree that it wasn't safe to mess with those tooth-less rednecks but I am so happy you put that poor dog out of his misery. People like that should not be allowed to own pets. Makes me sick!
Cheer up - it was shitty day but, as I always say, the sun will come out tomorrow! (My own comment is about to make ME yak!) Anyway, enjoy the fact that you can't work tonight due to circumstances outside of your control and do something fun.

That is just so awful - your poor kid. And I agree, what kind of parents raise children to bully other kids? Those parents should pay for the glasses their children broke. I would suggest talking to their parents but that could make things worse. Truly sorry that your daughter has to deal with this.

That was such an honest, sincere and frankly ADORABLE post. I am so glad that you and BF are so close again and I hope the time apart goes by really fast. In the meantime, isn't missing him kind of fun too??

good luck Auntie K!! I admire your goals and your plans to achieve them. My only advice is not to be too hard on yourself or make goals that are unreasonable. Baby steps.

Hi Prelude - I won't tell you what to do because you need to decide for yourself and I think you are getting there. You realize that you are not happy; you realize that you are settling for less than you want, need and deserve but you are still holding on to the good things because they make you feel so, for lack of a better word, good. Hang in there, my friend.

Wow, that sounds like such a fun weekend, Prelude! Can't wait to see the glamour shots. I love the line "my hair turned out cute for the evening so that's what matters". Made me laugh out loud. Good hair is all that matters - I hear ya sister!

I read that email with baited breath as I was uncertain how it would end. So glad she was ok! I agree with the others, it is "easytosay" that you are a great mother. Wishing you lots of happiness on mother's day and every day.

Passive tense of the verb on 2008-05-06 12:10:06 |

Oy vey. I really can't think of a proper response so I will say it again, oy vey!! Your wife is clearly very confused about what she wants/doesn't want and what she is going to do about it, if anything. I don't blame her since marriage is a big deal and you don't just enter/exit lightly (except in Hollywood, of course). But she keeps changing her mind and I am getting dizzy. I can only imagine how you feel.

I am glad you had such a great time. I agree with Pita - sometimes the events we dread the most end up bringing the most pleasure. Your description of the knickers was hysterical. Thanks for the laugh - it was a rough day and your post came in handy!

Prelude - you should delete the history from your computer whenever you are finished - that is how I think my mom found my blog. I doubt he would be able to find your particular post anyway though, since you did not post under your name.
On another note - it's normal to vacillate from feeling strong to being sad and weak. When you feel sad, you forget about all of the bad stuff and just miss him. Don't be too hard on yourself.

FINE. HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. What else did the book say "don't waste the pretty". Move on to someone better - shouldn't be difficult because I do believe he is either chicken shit or a lazy sack of shit. Either way, not good enough for Blue!!

You are a good friend - if it were me, I would want SO badly to ask him where the hell he was when I needed him. I don't know if I would have the balls to actually ask, but I would want to!
And by the way, some guys feel safe behind email and don't have the courage to take it to the next logical level - phone. Doesn't mean he's not that into you, but why would you want a chicken shit anyway?

Blue, you are born in December too? What's your birthday? Capricorn or Sag? (Stupid questions, I know but we have found so many other things in common that I wonder if we share the same birthday or, at the very least, sign.)

My thoughts on infidelity on 2008-05-02 15:14:58 |

Blue, you rock. I am so impressed with the class with which you dealt with your husband's mistress. It was brilliant and I am sure it was not easy to pull off, especially since you confessed to crying in your car afterwards. I hope you had/have many smile inducing telephone conversations on that phone. You deserve it.

That's true - I never thought about the "team effort" part of a relationship. That could be one of my problems...
Glad you enjoyed that phrase. We say it often here in the Big Apple. Likely because many of us big city folks do, in fact, talk out of her asses on a regular basis!

"Real World" Love and Relationships on 2008-05-02 10:35:03 |
|
I know, for me, it was initially easier to be myself because I didn't know anyone here yet and wasn't afraid of what anyone else thought about me. I think in the "real" world, people have a guard up because they are so consumed about what people think. At this point, there are certainly some people on here I think I have gotten to know pretty well and, as a result, I DO care what they think but at this point am confident that they won't judge me. I also think there is a safety in not being able to see someone's expression when he/she reads a post/email as opposed to speaking face to face when it is difficult to hide one's emotions. I don't think everyone in the real world is shallow, but I do agree with Easy that there is more pressure to act a certain way. Nice post.

You're hung! Priceless. I guess you could have gone with a simple "Your bags caught on the chair" but perhaps your mind was elsewhere - Fruedian slip??
Blue - Like you, I am great at my job. In relationships, not so great. I am confident in my job because I know that few could (or do) perform it better. I am sure you are the same person both professionally and personally (I agree with your newbie -I don't think there is a phony bone in your body) but there might be a very subtle difference created by your own lack of confidence or fear of being hurt in the personal arena. I could be talking out of my ass but I have also asked myself the same question - why people see me one way in the work world but the same does not always shine through elsewhere. Did that make ANY sense??

I never thought about it but, yes, that would probably annoy me. Especially if someone was blowing bubbles. If someone does, pop it in her face. If she isn't chewing Hubba Bubba, it will stick and might teach her a lesson! (I think Hubba Bubba is the non-stick one.) Like you, I am not a fan of chewing gum - gives me a headache after the first 2 minutes.

I agree with Lady Godiva: If Broadzilla was truly happy, she would not be motivated to make you miserable. Misery seeks company. Regardless, I feel horrible for you. By the way, I work with attorneys and have a legal background myself. Next time you need to sign a contract, I would be happy to take a look-see and make sure you aren't getting screwed.

I am so glad that I came back to read the rest of the comments you got on this one (I was curious because this post really made me sad). I am so happy that he made up for it. I, too, think that Brian truly cares about you - he just does not communicate the same way you do. I think it is a big challenge for emotional people, like you (and me) to deal with guys who are less "out there" with their feelings. I hope everything turns out exactly the way you want, Prelude. Really!
