This holiday season seems to be the breakup season. In the afternoon of Christmas Eve, two close friends vented about their relationship troubles. And I predict that both love affairs are likely to end within weeks or even sooner just days from now.
One friend is dealing with a lover who has difficulties saying the L word. In addition, his lover seems to have fears toward intimacy. As a result sex becomes a routine and no longer exciting. To make this matter worse, they see each other day and night because they work and live together. There’s hardly any personal space for their lives are intertwined. On top of that, there is also my friend’s ex-lover living in the same household as one of the roommates. Three’s company is more than crowded. The ex-lover is jealous of my friend’s current relationship and would like to redeem himself if he’s given a second chance to mend his past mistakes.
The other friend has caught her lover red-handed! As clever as her lover might be, she’s collected enough evidences to prove that her lover is cheating with a former lover for at least three months now. Her lover is unusually controlling. My friend is not allowed to pass out her business cards at social occasions, especially to those who might have a romantic interest in her. And her lover prohibits her giving out her cell phone number to strangers as a way of protection. It seems to me that somebody has an insecurity issue. After getting busted, this cheater keeps asking for forgiveness and explains that this sneaky behavior is due to mental illness. Talk about desperate time calling for desperate excuse! I am in awe!
A few years ago I broke up with someone right before Christmas. I suspected that he reconciled with his ex but he denied it all. The puzzle was solved later on when his ex came forward and told me all about it. I had never been so upset with anyone like this in my life. I would shoot him execution style if I had a gun. I would cripple him for life if I knew how to hire a hit man. All that rage consumed me and my life at the time. The irony is that they didn’t last too long and she just got married to someone else recently. As for his whereabouts, I can careless. You know that saying, once a cheater always a cheater. He’s good for nothing but deceits and lies.
Tomorrow will be a better day and the next one is always better! Let bygones be bygone and move on with our lives. Dance yourself to an all-time favorite tune from Gloria Gaynor’s disco hit: I WILL SURVIVE. Shake off that loser and start over with a brand new day (maybe a new love interest too)!!!
Happy Holidays, wishing you a fulfilled love life and a faithful lover that you deserve!
