When You Need To Get Out
I attended a holiday cocktail party at a friend’s place in Maryland (yes all the way out there) and met someone who had a problem. (You’ll soon discover that people with problems, as in my career, find me in real-life on a regular basis. I still haven’t determined whether I am fishing for the trouble or if it just lands on me.)
Problem: You’re in a romantic relationship, and while you do have love for the one you’re with, you figure out that you are not in love them. You love their friend. And we ain’t just talkin’ about wanting to screw the friend. We all have plenty of friends we would screw in an instant if the circumstances were appropriate.
So I told this person with this problem “look, we’ve all been through this.” Some sit on it…(no pun intended, kids)…which is what our new friend is doing. It’s been several months now since the realization occured. I will keep you posted on what happens, but I am guessing there will not be any developments until way after the holidays…because this someone doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers.
My thought: screw the holiday. Don’t make this a fake holiday. It will always be remembered as a fake holiday when this finally comes out. I feel sorry for ya…but if I have had to make decisions like that at the last minute with my life, then you can too.
Great party though!!!!
