I don’t do Sharing.
Yesterday, I spent a delightful afternoon/evening with my ex. Where we talked about everything going on in life, did some errands and acted silly in public, which is something I enjoy. I love him. Really, I do. I love him. But, I have decided he might just be crazy. Not boil your bunny crazy, but definitely approach with caution he may be two steps from snapping crazy.
Where o’where did this discovery come from, our discussion of “open” relationships. And how he thinks they are a great idea.
Somehow he and his girlfriend of 4 years, decided that they may need to explore there youth, but still stay together. Translation: If one of us meets someone else we should and could totally make out with them or go on a date with them… but then when we are together we will act like the girlfriend/boyfriend we have been for 4 years.
Uh, what? Look, I am totally down with dating many people at once. As we all know around here, casual dating is my thing. I mean in all seriousness, all I have to do once I get asked out on a date is look pretty and keep conversation up, which I can do. But once you decide to hop into the ol’committed saddle, YOU my friend are OFF the MARKET. Pretty much what “open” relationship means is that you have license to cheat. Now, with the fine wisdom that comes with maturing, with a greater sense of self (ha!) and even more relevant having watched most of the shows that were on the WB in the late nineties, I know this can only end in disaster.
Nothing says true love like: I want you, until I find someone I want better, and if I can’t find someone better than we should totally stay together.
I think I may swoon from the romance of it all.
I don’t know of any man that could handle their girlfriend of 4 years dating, doing anything with another guy. But, maybe this is now normal and I live in what my friend Benn calls, my “fairy tale” world. Lord knows, I don’t buy into half the crap they are selling as healthy for relationships, so it’s entirely possible that I am wrong. All, I know for sure, is that I would snap six ways from Sunday if my boyfriend of 4 years decided we should have an open relationship. Which won’t happen, I am not dating anyone for 4 years, if you don’t know within 4 years you wanna marry me, then you are NEVER going to know. The only open relationship I’m having is me opening the door and booting his ass out.

You crack me up on that last one (even with the a-word). Show the loser the "open" door. Haa-haaa
You make your mama proud!
