saga…
K calls, “S and I are over….for real. She sent me a text when I was on the way to ___ to visit my kids. Won’t take my calls.” When I press for details, he admits that she probably found someone else. He asks if I think he’s better off. Of course. She was a parasite. He wasn’t happy.
I admit that I’m no expert on relationships. OBVIOUSLY. He bitches that her kid still has stuff at his place. I tell him to return it. Then he drops the bomb. Have I talked to J lately? No. He urges me to call.
I key in the number after I hang up from K. J sounds fucked up. He’s lost his job….over 2 weeks ago. He’s not having luck finding a new one. He IS getting along well with M. I update him but he’s bland and sad. I tell him that I’ll pray on the new job. He’s hoping for temporary stuff until he clears the court date and then he’ll move down south, move in with M. It’s all good.
I blew off friends last night. D wants to see me. I catnapped for 3 hours, thinking D was out since he didn’t return my texts. Turns out he was home. Dozing.
I’ll see him tonight. Lots of smooching and great loving. Then I’ll come home to my kids.
They’re cool with mom having a date. They aren’t so cool about their dad dating, but that’s mostly because he’s an ass about it. He acts like he’s not dating and then wants to bring them along on an outing. I won’t do that.
R gave me his number, and I texted mine back. He liked partying with me last weekend. It’s a “friendship” thing though. He’s far too young to be interested romantically. E laughs and says that’s because I’m cool to hang out with, “I don’t blame him! I love hanging out with you, too!” She’s still unsure about the whole D and me thing, “I know that asshole is crazy about you. My boyfriend went to _____ with him a year ago and he talked about you nonstop!”
The truth…when he went to _____, we were “broken up”. He really had no business talking about me at all. E says, “But my boyfriend said that me mentioned you by NAME.” That threw me. My divorce wasn’t final yet when they went on that trip.
Then again, he’s not always wise about keeping my identity secret.
