Guest Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 i once thought that a great friend of mine had an affair with my gf and i called him up and confronted him. i can laugh about that now but man, what was i thinking - fantasy and reality should never mix. i never told my ex i did that and she would probably freak out on me - but that was a long time ago.

Grrlish Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 i once thought that a great friend of mine had an affair with my gf and i called him up and confronted him. i can laugh about that now but man, what was i thinking - fantasy and reality should never mix. i never told my ex i did that and she would probably freak out on me - but that was a long time ago. I had a really good friend of mine do that to me one time. The guy she was dating was a total player. I'm 8 years younger than she is and back then, my appearance occasionally made her feel insecure. She was so SURE that he and I had slept together. I have a very high level of integrity and loyalty to my friends. I would never even consider doing something like that. Thank goodness our friendship survived. Link to post Share on other sites
Grrlish Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well, I may be in the middle of it right now. I just introduced my boyfriend to all of my co-workers and their SOs at my employer's holiday party. I also finally let the cat out of the bag with my friends and family, including my Dad, that I've been dating someone for several months and how happy I am. I even sent my father a photo of the two of us. I take a lot of care not to put men in front of my co-workers, friends and/or family unless I think things are getting serious. And Friday, my boyfriend tells me that he's not sure about things anymore. I don't know about anyone else here but for me, this is highly embarrassing - having to tell my father, just two weeks after I let him know that I'm in a relationship, that things aren't working out.

Walk Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Grrlish. I can understand what you're saying. I tend to feel the same way when it comes to introducing my "partner" to my family. But your family loves you. I think they'd probably appreciate that you would show a little vulnerability to them. Instead of trying to hide everything and putting up a false front. And they aren't going to point and laugh at you, nor think badly about you. They want you to be happy. Whether it's with this guy, or some one who can make a real decision in life. I was most embarressed by my divorce. Talk about admitting failure. I was sure everyone would think I was. I was humiliated. I hid the fact that I was livign with my brother for nearly 2 weeks. But my brother had two little girls who didn't understand "Don't tell grandma and grandpa Walk lives here". So, I headed them off at the pass, and broke the news to my parents before the wee little ones could shock and appall them. heh. It actually went really well. I don't quite know why I was so embarressed to tell them. Other time, was after I'd gone on two dates with a guy. He had picked me up on the third date and I thought things had been going ok, not great, but ok. Anyway, we stopped at subway because he was hungry, I ran in to use the bathroom, came out and he was gone. Totally gone. I started walking home in shock when an acquaintance of mine drove past and pulled over to ask me if I needed a lift. I took it, but then he wanted to know why I was walking in the dark so far from home. I was so embarressed I lied and told him my car had broken down. Link to post Share on other sites
