Because this is MY fairy tale….
Cinderella Steve has a girlfriend. Isn’t that just precious? Don’t worry, it gets better. He was out that night looking to cheat.
How handy that I was there, no?
Word travels fast in magical kingdoms, and before he could say oh fuck, I had the little bastard on the phone. Cornered.
He denied it.
Only to call back fifteen minutes ago to apologize. Yes, he has a girlfriend. Yes, he’s horribly sorry because (get this) I’m just so amazing and attractive that… well, you get the picture.
Cinderella Steve actually thanked me for being so “easy.”
“Do you mean, thank you for being a whore? Or do you mean, thank you for being so understanding?”
“I meant, thank you for being understanding.”
“You shouldn’t have lied when I called you on it.”
“I know.”
“Fine then. Take care of yourself.”
What is it with me?
Do I emit some sort of magnetic field that disables men and makes them forget significant factors like… they’re already seeing someone? And it takes them several hours (during which they’ve attempted to go down my throat and up my skirt) to remember??
Let this be clear: I am no man’s other woman. And what’s more, I’m done with this. Done. You stupid lying bastards. My fairy tales do not end in “happily ever after.” They end in, “what the fuck.”
I totally hope he caught my cold.
Oh, I hope he catches it too, the bastard!
awww, so sorry! that sucks!
fuckwit. i’m sorry he was such a bastard.
Karmically the next time he cheats {inevitable, no?} he will catch a rabid case of herpes or an especially itchy STD.
What a jerk. I’m glad I’ll be seeing you this weekend sweetie.
{{hugs & smooches}}
you are wonderful, fish. hang in there.
p.s. i have your site linked to mine.
Hm not to start a fight but why does it seem like so many guys are dishonest and do crap like this?
unfamiliar, extraordinary beauty + man unsure of his commitment to stable girlfriend = the escalation game
unfortunately, most men are very predictable
uuuuugh! why do boys do this? makes me insane. it’s like when i was dating my ex (my “J”) and he wooed his current flame–how can he come on to one when he already has one? uuuuuggggh!
asshole.
Drrr! That JERK!
Men are lame. I think so more and more every day.
Fish, you may need to be more shrewd and less easily smitten by the compliments men seem able to toss from their tongues with ease. Like “you’re sexy” and “make me horny” and the like. I’d be less obviously thrilled by these.
been there done that..
Bastard!
Katherine, are you reading the same posts I’m writing? Those “compliments” which you mention came from a very good (very drunk) friend and they made me laugh until I thought I would pee my pants… not let him IN my pants.
Perhaps a little credit?
UGH! Another one strikes again. That S-U-C-K-S.
Not sure whether or not this is any consolation, but at least he wasn’t MARRIED! I think I’m the one attracting all of those guys.
no Fish, my comments had nothing to do with your friend, they have to do with your beef about the men who let you down..the ones, you know that you met the proverbial hour ago.
P.S. I responded – as did the people above – to your post coming “soon on disney dvd” – not J’s party. A little credit?
yeah, but check it… your comment as to ‘you make me horny’ etc are in direct reference to what W said at the party. What ditz falls for that shit!?
I didn’t intend that. After awhile all the things the men say become blurred to this reader. I still stand by my point that the compliments taken too much too heart do not have enough meaning to warrant any investment or expectation.
