Excuse me?!
What could prompt me out of my silence, you ask? Well, let me tell you. So, if you remember, there was a guy, In the Meantime, who I had “befriended.” Lately, for some reason, he has revved up his communication efforts. Interestingly, these efforts came AFTER he told me that a girl, with whom he had been spending time, gave him her demands: she wanted a committed relationship. At that point, he tells me, he offered her an open relationship. Now, I’m not in the non-traditional relationship world so I don’t know exactly how it works. What I do know is that when someone asks for a closed, committed relationship you don’t counteroffer with some shit, which is in no way similar, and live to tell the tale, usually. Apparently he’s a rarity. She still wanted to go forth with him. Whatever. Not my business, right? I’ve told him on more than one occasion that he will never be my boyfriend and would never be my husband which is why I don’t take anything that he says seriously. Why would...
