Hey. I am late with the blog reading, because I've been going through a lot of the same emotional stuff you are. I wish I lived closer (or could even just afford to drive out there, because you're not that far) because I would definitely make you a priority. I know I'm not a really good friend, but I do love you a lot. And I'm serious about you coming to go to the zoo with me! I will come pick you up and bring you home, once I save up a little from doing daycare for the kiddos.

I find that some beers contradict others, therefore, you much choose wisely as to which beer you let do your speaking for you....

Coming from the opposite side of the spectrum, I still have no clue. Sometimes all I wanted was an innocent flirtation, then he ended up head over heels. WTF. And even today, when I'm not looking, the only guys who notice me (which, lets be honest, is always flattering) are 35-year-olds looking to settle down.

I agree with your comments about the other woman, which is why I didn't argue with them. As a woman who's been cheated on, the "why hate on us when you are the ones who can’t keep your men satisfied and under controlled?" bothered me.

Like I said before, communicating one's needs--or getting out when the other party can't/won't meet them--is each of our own responsibility. Secondly, I don't like the idea of keeping a man under control any more than I'd like the idea of him keeping me under control.

The only obvoious exception, of course, being if the Other Woman is a friend of The Woman. That's backstabbing bitchery, right there.

i dont hate on the woman, the man, or the other man. i just think somebody needs to come to defense of the other woman for once.

and like i said, i do not condone cheating. at all. i want that to be clear.

and you are right-i have been the other woman with full knowledge. i do not respect that about myself. but i refuse to be the only one faulted in the situation.

I don't hate the other woman. But I don't think it's fair to hate on "the woman" either. Or "the man" or "the other man."

We're responsible for being faithful to our significant other. If there's something a person isn't getting, they need to figure out how to ask. If they can't ask, they need to do things in the right order and end the relationship before going elsewhere. There's nothing wrong with leaving someone, but there is something wrong with cheating.

And, in fairness, you've been the other woman with full knowledge of the relationship.

Hi Bria (DeDe!),
Just a positive story to encourage you. I was just like you - I mean JUST like you - as you describe yourself, particularly in this post and the one from a couple days ago "I'll Wait" ...

I dated like crazy, went through several up-and-down relationships, was engaged twice (once for a year, once for 17 hours!), but it just never gelled. Never met that right "One" and definitely began to despair of ever doing so. At the age of 32, I gave up. Told my best friend, "That's it, forget it, no more dating till I'm 50, I can't take it."

That very night, feeling liberated, I went to dinner at a nice restaurant with him and his wife. I noticed a woman across the room. One thing led to another, and I ended the evening in a long, funny, brilliant conversation with her, alone. And guess what? I wound up marrying her!

I was (and am) very very very lucky, because I did indeed meet "the One" and am so happy because of it. And she's brilliant, easily the smartest person I've ever met - man or woman, and I've met the world's geniuses. She has never hidden it either, as far as I can tell.

So don't hide your mind .. or your heart ... from those you meet, and especially from those you like. The man you're meant to be with is going to want to have that long intelligent conversation with you, and he's going to realize very quickly that he never wants it to end...
