I've been saying this for a little while now... Mostly in a light, joking way... The thing is, is that it's true. One of the casualities of my friendship with R is that I don't trust folks very much anymore. And I certanly don't trust myself.
After knowing many of the ends and outs of someone else's relationship and looking back at mine, it's a real struggle to spend "social" time with people I don't know very well and trust anything that they are saying to me.
My mom met R years ago and her one comment about him was "Well Gosh. You can sure see how he is __'s husband. He's so attentive to her!"
And he had licked my lips just hours before.
I meet men now, and if they look at me too long I feel naked.
I meet women now, and I have no idea if I'm going to like them, wonder if they are telling me/themselves/anyone the truth. Wonder if their husbands are going to hit on me later.
