Welcome to my world. An altered state of reality in which I sometimes feel as if I am the only one experiencing issues and situations that are ridiculous, funny, frustrating and thought provoking.
Imagine dating a guy and after breaking up you hear all your intimate business from a friend of a friend! You thought you were cool and all but you now realise that he was immature and juvenile and that he was too much into his friends to keep what you did in the bedroom (and living room) to himself like a grown man. Talk about a violation of trust and just being an all round jerk.
So you walked down the aisle, said your ‘I dos’, jumped the broom and jetted off to your exotic location where you soaked up all the sand, salt air, sun and sex that you could handle and had the time of your life. Now your suitcase is by your front door as you are back, ready to spend the rest of your lives making each other happy. Great.
Truth be told, us women at times bash men as being dogs but if they are dogs then unfortunately that makes us dog groomers, owners and trainers. Men can only get away with what we allow them to so often times it is us who should shoulder the blame for having men who treat us like chicken back without gravy that has been left out too long so it starts to go bad.
So your friend set you up on a blind date and tells you to have an open mind. Once you hear that it should have been your first indicator that something is amiss and they are trying to prepare you for a mild shock. You see him seated and he looks pleasant enough…until he stand up and then you realise you are much taller than him hence the greeting is stilted and awkward. You would love to head for the door but common courtesy dictates that you sit through the meal and at least act civilised.
