I had an interesting week last week. Some weeks are just like that. Because of it, I haven’t blogged most of the week. Two bad things happened and one good thing happened. The good thing was that I had two dates with this really great guy. He’s kind, caring, considerate, and very interesting. We went to Cade’s Cove on Saturday. The weather was beautiful, the leaves were at their color-peak, and it was very relaxing. We had fun.
The first bad thing was that this guy I had dated previously, but hadn’t even talked to in a couple of weeks, felt it was necessary to call me and tell me what was wrong with me. He said that while it was okay that I was not as materialistic as he was, that I dressed wrong–in a way that made me look fatter. He asked if I was willing to change. I said no. Does he really expect me to be in a relationship where I always have to worry how I look? I think not.
The second bad thing was that my first ex saw a post I wrote mentioning something about him that he didn’t like, and said was untrue. It is true that I only have secondhand knowledge of the events, but all signs pointed to it being true. Regardless of whether it was true or not, I did not use his name and I don’t use my real name here. I respect the privacy of my exes. But he threatened me with a libel lawsuit. If he actually sued me, that would definitely become public. He wanted it splashed all over town? I did end up removing the post, despite a girlfriend telling me I should have left it published. I’m not sure why I did it, but it felt like the right thing to do. That’s the main reason I haven’t posted in several days. I had to re-evaluate why I was blogging here. Today I decided that enough people have been touched by what I am saying that I should continue. I’m looking foward to it.
