And while I’m at it, let’s see how many men I can manage to piss off in one day.  There is always Gadget.  That’s a given.  There are the inevitable communication faux pas that occur whilst traversing the slippery slope of defining boundaries and parameters in budding friendships slash relationships.  There are misunderstandings and mis-matched senses of humor. There are offenses taken.  It’s exhausting.  It’s humbling.  It’s perplexing.  Especially because I’ve always tried very diligently to be a good communicator.  It’s my thing.  So if I suck at the thing that is supposedly my strongsuit… …well, that’s just dandy for the self-esteem and self-confidence, now isn’t it?

And of course I’m Miss UltraSensitive, so it wrecks me to the core when I think that I’ve upset someone.

This is not a frivolous response…

But why don’t you just pack yourself and the kids up and take them on a holiday. Away from Gadget where you don’t need to make contact with him for a week, a day, an hour, whatever.

Forget men until you know what and who you want. You aren’t doing yourself or them any favours by trying to find mr right in every one of them when you don’t even know what *your* mr right consists of.

Sorry to be blunt, but I hate watching you beat yourself up over things like this.

Seriously, go on a holiday. Enjoy some time with the only two men in your life that are actually worth a damn.

I’m being completely serious now, and responding to your tag more than your post (cos really, fuck’em and all their whinging ), do you have a good toy? Internet p0rn and toys. Let me know if you’d like links. So yeah, just, you know… relieve the pressure. Then go have a bath and just look after yourself. Sending you lots of hugs and a slice of strawberry pie xxx

Stomper Girl Says:

I agree with the other girls, and I would add to that: don’t play Gadget’s games. If he says he can’t do the gas then just let him miss out on their company. Sounds like he’s using the kids to get at you. Don’t play.

(the things Magda is suggesting would never mess with your head like that! 😉

Somebody reads my tags! They don’t show up on my reader, that I know of. [blush] Of course I have a toy… …but maybe I shouldn’t, because it probably prolonged my sham of a marriage…

…and I *should* do something extra fabulous with my boys. Maybe we will go to GREECE!!! Wouldn’t that be amazing? Take a month and lounge about, throwing pebbles in the sea, eating dolmas and souvlaki. Heaven!

Don’t be saying silly stuff now, of course you should have a toy, you should have SEVERAL! They should each be named after your favorite movie heroes, like James Bond, Dirty Harry and um… Edward Cullen. And a bullet; it should be compulsory for every woman to own one of those. It could be named Steve McQueen (geddit? Bullitt?? lol)
