  astro sweetie, that must have been an extremely interesting experience for u. aren't u glad u found out more, and that he was actually willing to spill the beans on his dating status? at least he was honest about it... i've met men who have purposefully concealed their status just to source for unwittingly willing participants in their game of bastardry. oh believe me, there are so many of these scumbags around. although his behaviour to your mutual friend which is causing her distress is another matter altogether... but alas, i am by nature a schizophrenic, even at times multiple schizoid. i believe there is no absolute in everything and anything, yet certain things are very concrete to me. all men are bastards.. but some of them are less so than the others. u gotta admit there is a bitch in everyone of us, right?
;) of course, it is much better to be a bitch than a bastard. anyway. my friends have always marvelled at my ability to bounce back from everything that has ever happened to me. being jaded doesn't mean i stop trusting people. i kinda just wipe my databank out and start afresh. flick a switch in my head. when i get over something, or someone, that whole episode is not only closed, but almost certainly deleted from my mind.
coldhearted? perhaps. but it is my defense mechanism and it keeps me sane. sometimes i feel sad about something which has happened many months ago. which means i did not completely throw it out of my head, left remnants to rot and grow, and let it resurface again. it's a good thing this seldom happens. no regrets - i live by it. *** this weird post was inspired by the mention of bastards ***
