Next time call your girlfriend

Thursday sucked balls.  But because of it, i earned mine.  My balls that is.

Everyone who cares for me has expressed their concern over my continual contact with him.  One friend put it like this, "It will only bring you more heartache and drama." and he was absolutely correct.  

I spent a whole day last week involved in his personal hell, that he brought upon himself that only he can fix.  It had nothing to do with me.  However, I became involved. Why? because i'm the idiot that still loves him - okay, loves what i thought he was. Okay.  LOVED what i thought he was.

I had to make a tough choice, and i did what i thought was right.  I knew he would be angry, probably never speak to me again and I still did what i knew had to be done.  Because of this choice a lot of information hit me that I was unprepared for.  The betrayal i felt was exactly what i needed to finally cut my ties with him.  

I've heard so many different versions of his story since we broke up but now i know for fact that she was around long before we parted ways.  Her and whoever else.  He actively and purposely deceived me, used me and treated me as the fool i was.  

Even after a day of hell I sat crying on the phone to my friend, "why can't i block him out of my life? Why can't i do it?" and he told me "because you think you are going to fix him.  There is a part of you that wants to be back with him. You are leaving the door open"

And five minutes later I blocked him out of my phone, my social media and my life.  Now i have to block him from my thoughts.  I believe that will happen a lot faster now.  Because maybe my friend was right.  Maybe EVEN with everything that has been said and done I was still waiting for him to come to his senses.

But here's what really saved me from my self.  I realized it was never about me in the first place.  It was always about him.  His life is exactly what he put into it.  And so is mine.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Secrets

 Yesterday I found myself telling someone something about my life that I had not planned on sharing.  We don't really talk too much about our past relationships.  We aren't there yet and i don't know that it's really important.  It's not a race to the finish line.  There is time.   This was just the natural time to share the information. I have very few regrets in my life, some things i may have done differently, but even so, without regret.  Everything has brought me to who i am today.  This got me thinking of how much I've changed, that i would not even put the energy into defending anything I've done because i don't have to, and because i don't want to, or need to.  This also brought to mind how often judgement used to rule my world, and how I felt about myself. I married very young, to my high school boyfriend.  For many reasons, all i ever wanted (in my wisdom of 21 years) was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever ...
