A Break. AKA: I need to have sex with other people while you feel insecure about yourself and get fat overdosing on alcohol and ice cream.

A break
Aka. I need to have sex with other people while you feel insecure about yourself and get fat overdosing on alcohol and ice cream, until I decide I’m bored and come back.

So I’ve never been on a “break” before.
I honestly don’t know what it means. The whole concept is foreign to me.
See, I have this pair of amazing shoes. Love them. Everyone loves them. I get compliments every day and they make me happy.
But sometimes they’re out of season. And they just sit around collecting dust. And people ask to borrow them. And I SHOULD let them.
Because I’m not using them. And I know I’ll get them back eventually. But, god forbid, someone looses them. Or breaks a heel. OR they just don’t come back in the condition I left them in.
That’s not a risk I’m willing to take with my fashion.

And I don’t understand men who are willing to take that risk with women.

If you are in a relationship. Even if ,at the moment, you’re not in the best place in that relationship. Even if there seems to be a bit of arguing. Perhaps some boredom setting in. Whatever it may be.
If you are in a relationship, its YOURS. And you either fix it. Or you end it. You don’t lease it out for a little bit, while you figure out what you want, and then expect to still be able to come over and enjoy the benefits. This is no summer rental sir.

A break hurts the exact same way a “break-up” does. You still feel inadequate, like whatever you did wasn’t enough to “keep” that person.
You feel regretful. Thinking about all the time “wasted” with this person. Time that could have been spent with someone much more deserving. Like yourself.
You’re sad. You’re lonely. And, jealous. Which comes unexpectedly. Because now, you have ZERO right to question anything. The simple “where’d you go last night” might open up a big can of worms. So you avoid any “questions” and go on pretending like you’re all good with everything. It turns into this very fake, very forced “friendship.” But the foundation is built on false hope. The foundation is built on the hope that this man will come back. So in the meantime you don’t want to do anything to ruin what “may” happen in the future. So you stay smiling, and happy and available. And hope one day he “snaps” out of it, and comes back home crying.
Which never does. I’m convinced.

All the stupid clichés. “If its meant to be let it go and it will come back to you” blah blah blah B.S.

I’m a firm believer that if it was meant to be, you wouldn’t have gotten rid of it in the first place.
Even if its one MINUTE of being on a break. that’s enough time to potentially loose the person you care about for good.
All it takes is one drunken night. One fabulous date. One minute of someone else, to get you distracted.
God knows I have a.d.d.

Breaks are bullshit and you all know it. But maybe I’m being a little harsh. What do ya’ll think?

::Fathers, Harems and Brown Eyes::

Ahh Fathers Day. A day to honor the wonderful men in our lives. The ones who have passed on their great legacies unto us. Given us their last names. Provided us with a roof over our head and food on the table. The ones who have sent us to therapy for our "daddy" issues. sidenote: Hello unavailable, emotionally distant, workaholic men. Please thank my Dad for making me fall for you. lol My dad was very typical. Cold. Distant. Left all the "child raising" shit to my mother. So I find it strange that he's actually had a bigger influence on who I am than she has. I find myself physically and mentally more and more like him every day that I get older. I guess when you spend your whole life trying to chase after someone's love, you get to know then on a unique level. I remember me going through his bookshelf. Reading every single book he had. Going through and stealing all his old records. Reading his old newspaper articles from the Korean War. Looking through his...

::The Reluctant Housewife::

Im writing todays post from the little refugee camp I've built for myself on my boyfriends bed. Using a shitty lap top, while my brand new computer sits at home untouched. Staring at pictures of his family and his clothes and his life, as my living room goes unlived in. Untouched. My life, seemingly frozen in time. Drinking Miller Lite, and eating a Veggie Burger. To watch my weight of course, which is escalating at dangerous levels. Like an obese woman ordering a Big Mac with a Diet Coke. I play these little mind games with myself. I used to get so much confidence from my work. Negotiating deals. Traveling. Meetings. Even when I had a bad day, and I would bitch, and go home and drink wine and lay on my couch, I still felt proud. Now I just lay on the couch and drink wine. The pride I get now comes from cooking a good dinner. Having good sex. Keeping a clean house. Spending hours and hours, doing my hair, make-up, buying new clothes. Just so I can trick myself into believing I'...
