My husband and have a LOT of separate interets.
I even go out without him. (let me re-iterate. I like to sing karaoke. he hates karaoke. i invite him. he’d rather sit home and watch CSI.)
I don’t hold his past life against him, and i hope to GOD he never holds mine against me.

however.
there is something to be said about finding out if your man is truthful or not. maybe the guy has pulled out an “well, *I* never did *blank*”. and then they read in a story that yes, they DID do blank, and with 2 different blank whores.

maybe these girls are concerned about history repeating itself? i know if i found out my guy used to cheat non-stop on other girlfriends, etc. i’d be concerned.

or maybe they are miserable and are looking for any way out of their relationships they can find….

either way.
great fucking letter.
perfect.

Lmao. Well put. Glad I’m not on the receiving end of that unloading.

I used to do that sort of thing in high school. Then, not surprisingly, I effectively ruined all of my relationships.

Now I’m not consumed with knowing everything about my boyfriend. Intimacy unfolds naturally. And somethings (namely photos of said boyfriend drunk and in the lap a a stripper) are best left buried in drawers and closets.

And in regards to living separate lives, I certainly agree. A significant other is like the center of a bicycle wheel. All of the spokes lead to other areas, but they always unite in the middle. If that even makes sense.

Anyways, good blog.

I would HOPE the person I’m with has somewhat of a past, otherwise he would be boring. I also think it’s really important to have a life, and friendships, that go beyong the cocoon you’re in.
Argh. Relationships. Bleh.

Women can be soo unaccepting sometimes.

Yeah they do Claire, but they actually pronounce it ‘twots’ which still freaks me out slightly even after 5 years here.

I think it may be upstate NY overall. I moved here to WNY from Albany, and practically all of the girls I knew in Albany were like this. I was always single, and I never understood why they would freak out about something their guy did before they met him. When I got together with my last boyfriend, they all said I’d be the same way…..still didn’t understand what the fuck their problem was. Trust your man and laugh together over the past, and over your own current separate lives, or get out of the relationship. Now.

Digging through a boyfriend’s past is the sign of a seriously mentally unstable childish girl.
Why are you with him? Who cares about the past?
Relationships should be made on the present and judged by what comes to pass. –not what has already passed.

A life outside the relationship? can they? They should. They ought to. In fact, I’d say its a must…
Otherwise you become this sickening codependant source of grief and drama.

Sorry your friends are dating twats.

In my opinion, you’re being nicer to these wretched bitches than they deserve.

I am a huge advocate of encouraging “signifigant others” to have a life beyond their mates. There is absolutely no reason that each person should lose all sense of their oneness and become one gia-normous relationshipzilla. It’s stupid. Fuck them. They suck at life.

1) Does Andrea Brown have that Herpes you’ve been coveting?

2) Why change Angela’s name if you’ve outted her anyway as the ungrateful chick with the baby gift?

3) I get both sides, unfortunately.My guy had a very colorful past, and some of it has been in a (shitty) novel… Curious (and “hurt”)is one thing though; Psycho is something totally different. However, you are a writer- WRITE. Fuck’em. Do you think Shakespeare had a bunch of twats miling around going “Me thinks Mercutio got too close to the faire maiden that fortnight” “MY Mercutio?”

Fuck ‘em. You’re here to entertain ME, remember?
