It wasn’t until ’she’ phoned in the middle of the night that Pam became suspicious. The woman was obviously drunk, her voice a string of slurs. And when Pam asked, “Who is this?”, all she got heard was “(Giggles) Just a friend…(click).”
The next day, Pam confronted her husband. Completely taken off guard, he insisted they were “only friends.” As the confrontation progressed, that soon changed to ”OK, so we were really good friends.” By the end, he’d even finally gone so far as to admit that “YES…there was ONE time that we kissed. But I SWEAR we never slept together.”
And what did Pam do with this info? Why, what any wife/mother of young children who is in total shock would do: she believed him…
…until she told her best friend what had happened. She then heard from her girlfriend the words she feared most: “I think he’s lying, Pam. He said he only kissed her? That makes no sense - who stops at a kiss? Maybe if he was ten years old…but a full-grown man? A man who knows how good sex feels? I don’t think so. Especially since they were supposedly such “good friends.”” (read more here)













Within months of separating from my ex two years ago, I suddenly felt an incredible need to redecorate the master bedroom. I’m not sure if I did it more as a mental distraction at the time, or if some unconscious part of me knew I needed to ‘get him out of there” and make a new space just for me.Regardless, redecorating had an astoundingly soothing AND uplifting effect on me. The master bedroom became MY place to rest and recharge, MY personal space, a reflection of ME …even though just outside the door was a family dream and identity in shambles.
As I continue to wade through the vast sea of online dating, I find myself feeling impatient with myself. Not because I want a man pronto, but because I’m STILL not sure what ‘type’ of man I like. And I wonder, Did I get a chameleon chromosone at birth? Or do I simply have no idea what I’m attracted to in a man?
So a friend of mine received a proposition this week from a man online. We’re still trying to figure out if it’s indecent. Is it different? Yes. Freaky? Borderline. Is she considering it? Kind of.
This past Friday night, I found myself wanting to get dressed up and go out, but all of my girlfriends were busy. I was frustrated; I didn’t want to spend my limited time off without kids watching a movie at home. But what was the alternative? Go to a bar lounge by myself? No way!
I know the subject of today’s blog might be a ‘toughy’ for you men. For you see, today’s topic is about COMMUNICATION - or rather, your inability to be shut up when that’s what us women want/need you to do. (Smiling sweetly)
I’ve put off and put off and put off writing this blog because I was worried about coming across as a whiner.
