I used to believe in 'mature relationships'. True, I had encountered them only in fiction, but what the heck. It seemed reasonable. I've long been getting reports from the front, however. Disturbing and disheartening reports. It seems that these mutual stroke-fests where people tend to one another's egos and sore backs and gonads in perfect respect and harmony, living their own full lives, feeling nothing beyond great warmth and affection, parting fondly as happy destiny sweeps them down different paths... well, apparently they just don't much exist. At least not for long. It seems that people are changable beasts, and generally either become more or less fond of a person over time, if they have much interaction. Most folks are dreadfully prone to forming attachments and habits in any case, especially to those in the general vicinity of which they experience orgasms. Sooner or later apparently, usually sooner, one party is going to fall in love or out of like, and it all goes down the tubes. *Sigh* I suppose I ought to have made the connection between the likelihood of such relationships and the quantity of mature, enlightened, emotionally and financially independant individuals available to form them. Another illusion shattered. Next week: Vaginal Orgasms and Santa Claus (just kidding, I can't recall believing in either)

Ooooooh. I had a feeling that you were writing about something else that I wasn't getting. :]

Later I was to discover that you expected more from a beau than nimble appendages/appliances, a flirtatious nature and cable TV. (Go figure.)

Yeah, funny how that works, isn't it? :P If that was all that had been advertised, I wouldn't have felt as cheated when it turned out that that was all I got, while his TWU WUV 4-EVARR got the Deluxe Package. Either that, or his TWU WUV 4-EVARR isn't as picky as I am. ;)

Don't you worry your pretty little head, my friend, I pretty much guarantee you she's his divine justice. }:D Shallow types like that are as capable of getting twitterpated as the rest of us, but it's always with someone more shallow and selfish and messed up than they are. (Folks with integrity, standards and stuff only end up turning these folks off and making them feel threatened and inadequate.) The planets are perfectly aligned for her to ditch him and make him feel like crap. But... we're much too enlightened to wish for such a thing... uh, aren't we? ;) Further, it's difficult for me to imagine that a relationship that developed within the relatively brief course of your own relationship with him has somehow got a firmer and more real foundation. It seems even more unlikely given the haste with which it was advancing. You can build an awful lot faster with clouds than with concrete. If Josh has a take-home lesson I would say it is that talk is cheap. I've always been suspicious of the flirty ones. Talk is cheap, but I'm nervous of it being used lightly for some reason.

Don't bet on it... I've been having recurring fantasies about him "somehow accidentally" being set on fire. ;) Still, I think I'm getting (however slowly) to the point where I honestly believe that he will Get What's Coming To Him, and I don't feel quite so desperate to be there when it happens, if that makes sense. :]

Yeah... he's definitely a flirter, and I'm not used to them. Huh. More good thoughts from you, as always. Thank you. :) *careful around-the-baby hug* ;)

Hee! I love it! Thanks for the laugh.
