![]() This isn’t to say that I don’t have sympathy for your ex-girlfriend. But I certainly wasn’t going to repair my wounds by sitting at home by myself for a month…. Would I want to be the first woman to date me after my heart had been shattered? Hell, no. When my serious girlfriend dumped me in 2004, I left her house, red-eyed, drove ten minutes home, and reactivated my JDate account instantly. You did when men do when they’re single - look for other women. It feels pretty ridiculous to type those last few lines because they make no logical sense. The gall! The disrespect! Did your relationship just mean NOTHING? And then, when she came back to reconcile with her beloved, she was shocked to discover that you had drowned your sorrows in the cleavage of another woman during – GASP! - a meaningless one-night stand. She probably wanted you cry your eyes out for a few weeks, paralyzed, unable to imagine yourself in the presence of any other woman. After a long, serious relationship - one in which she still had feelings for you – she was clearly hoping for some dating moratorium. Your girlfriend is caught up in how it SHOULD be. I don’t actively hope to change the world, but I do hope to observe the world AS IT IS, as opposed to how it SHOULD be. (This does NOT mean women are illogical - I’m just making a generalization here). I try to inject a little male logic into the largely feminine realm of relationship discussions. This, by the way, is the main reason that I blog. The problem is that having truth and logic on your side matters very little when discussing emotional issues. That doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods yet, but it does mean you’re technically “right”. You did what pretty much any guy would do after a sixteen month relationship. You had no hints of getting back together. ![]()
