mynewplaceWhy does it always make me cry, when someone asks me why I've never married? I wish I could lie, or joke around about it - say something clever about never getting caught, or how lucky I am.
But I don't. Because I'm blunt to a fault, and when a question hurts me, the best I can manage is to say nothing. Most the time, I can't manage even that.
So I tell them the truth - "Because no one has ever asked me."
And then try not to slap them while they wax rhapsodic about how unbelievable that is.
A lot of men have been saying that lately. I just think to myself "Just wait. Soon, you'll understand, then you'll disappear too. And I still won't have a clue." Although I do have ONE clue. The majority of men who say that are married already. So of course they're going to disappear.
Speaking of married men? It wasn't Sam's wife who called me. She's not prim or proper at all, and wouldn't have been shocked by the word 'fuck'. She also wouldn't have been asking for 'the man of the house'. That only leaves one married man who had my number. Tom. Now, why Georgia would start something like that, after such a huge blowup at their home (which was supposed to result in a divorce), is beyond me. But honestly. Most the other married men were swingers, or guys whose wives were young enough that they weren't likely to be easily shocked by my language OR likely to ask for a "man of the house". Guess we'll never know.
