Strong Women

I have a friend here at work who broke up with her boyfriend over the weekend. She found out he had been cheating on her. Not just cheater on her, but living with the other woman during the week and spending the weekends with my friend. He got away with this because he lives far enough away that it was hard for them to get together during the week. They had been together 2 years!

But I don't feel sad for her. Why not? Because she dumped this guy before she was married to him. She is no longer saddled with a cheat and a liar. If he didn't want to be with her, her should have respected her enough to break up with her. She's a good woman and didn't deserve this. But she is doing really well! She is moving on and making new plans for her life. She goes to school, she is joining a gym, and she is keeping her good girlfriends close to her. We all love her and as much as it hurt me to hear what happened to her, I am glad. She never has to hear him lie to her again. I don't tolerate that. Not for myself or for my friends. And quite frankly it makes me mad to think that he would sit there and talk to her every night on the phone...from his OTHER girlfriend's house! I won't devote any more time to this guy. He doesn't deserve it. He hurt my friend, but she's better off without him. She came by my desk this morning and she looks good! So look out all you single guys! She's ready to get back out there and just enjoy the dating scene!

I have no real news with me. The hamburger I ate at Bennigan's Tuesday was still sitting in my stomach like a brick last night. Ugh! I am staying clear of Bennigan's food for a while, and definitely staying clear of red meat for a while. I ended up having to take some enzyme supplements that David's sister suggested, and I think it's helping. I don't feel so sick to my stomach! (Pleasant, huh?)

Anyhow, that's about it. Tonight I am having dinner with Mom and Dad and then I am going to go work out at the gym.

Have a good Thursday everyone!

Your friend is even luckier to have friends like you to be there for her and to keep pushing her forward. I hope that she stays strong and never gives him another moment of her time.

My girlfriends always ask me why when things are over between me and a guy that I never relapse. My answer...I do not have a relationship rearview mirror, so I never look back. There was a reason it didn't work the first time around so it may never work so why waste anymore time.

Girls be strong! Plenty of good men out there!!!
