I seriously doubt it. Her mom, "Why are you going out with Shaw-Min again?" Her, "He kicked the shit out of Peter." Her mom, "So..?" 1)Her, "So, I'm Shaw-Min's until someone kicks his ass. Then I'll be his." 2)Her, "So, if I go out with anyone else, S-M will kick the shit out of them." 3)Her, "Because now I know that S-M is so big and strong!" 4)others Her mom, "Honey, here's the domestic abuse hot-line number. Keep it handy, I have a feeling you might need it."
I had my "lost summer" this year. Newly divorced, and had two friends who were more. Everyone was aware of the situation. Both of them were in ...interesting places in their lives. what did I get out of having two lovers? an astonishing amount of love that didn't have to be possessive. What did I give to these men? an astonishing amount of love that wasn't possessive. Each of us was doubting our attractiveness (hey, the age range was 40-48, so we are not the hot young kids on the block..we're better!), our ability to make a partner happy and all that midlife crisis bs. One needs touch, one needs someone to hang out with and talk with, on lots of topics. We've all moved on, and we are still friends. I'd say that we are closer for knowing one another so intimately. Culturevoice has some rather unflattering words for us, but I have always thought culturevoice is a maiden aunt with issues.
This is very true. I remember going through this as a teen... I usually cheated on my boyfriends, and it was because I needed/craved attention. My father abandoned me as a toddler, and I just always craved male attention. so upon becoming 'of age'(like 14), my instinct was to always try to get attention, bond, get close to guys... then dump them because I was unsatisfied. satisfaction is fleeting for women who do not resolve this issue!
