So, is it bad...

[Mathias]

That I have very little respect for the great majority of my exes? One is certifiably nuts and stalkerish, one has turned into a trashy shadow of her old self, and another has just decided to throw away her life...and the one I did respect, I just learned won't stand up to anyone and follow what she knows to be what's best for her.

Basically, I worry that I'm dating the wrong women somehow.

Ugh.

BTW--I'm back! Wee. Vacation was fantastic, the move is happening soon, so life should be good!

[misombra]

nobody's perfect. i'm sure you have your problems too.


i'm glad to see you're back despite your imperfections anyway. i still respect you.

[Mathias]

nobody's perfect. i'm sure you have your problems too.

Of course I do...and you all know exactly what they are.

But these are just glaring ****ing things that I NEVER saw in the relationship.

I think you should look for a common denominator in those girls. People usually have a "type" they date.

Glad you are back! Where did you go for vacation?

All over, but 3 weeks in Vegas for the beginning of the WSOP.

Mathias is seriously thinking about turning pro. The cash games were WAY too easy.

Well, you could say that you've traded your innocence for wisdom along the way, hindsight is 20/20, etc.

or you could wonder whether dating you somehow ruined these girls...

Which is it?

[DoesntMatter]

Well, you could say that you've traded your innocence for wisdom along the way,

Innocence is the devil

[Gigabitch]

Innocence is the devil

I disagree. It's very valuable, and shouldn't be squandered.

Waste is the devil.

Who knows.

BTW--remind me sometime to post about how crazy Rachel is after the breakup.

Innocence is only good if you aren't the one who is innocent. Same thing as ****ing ignorance.

Did you break it off with her, then? I am guessing yes...

[Mathias]

Did you break it off with her, then? I am guessing yes...

Yeah, about a month and a half ago.

[vashti]

Well, okay... I am reminding you to tell us about how crazy she is. No time like the present...

[bohemiandonut]

Same thing happens to me. I suppose you could think of this phenomenon as what occurs when an anchor cuts itself away from a delicate boat that is floating precariously close to the rocky shore.
