I know this is going to be pretty mundane and pointless to most of you, so I’m posting this here. I have to get this out, so to speak, so I can start to make sense of it myself.
I am involved in a love pentagon. That’s right. Not a triangle, a pentagon.
A little background info: I am recently divorced, and got back into the dating scene in March. I met a man that I really liked, (I’ll call him Tony) we became involved, and then poof, it was over. He didn’t want to date a smoker. I moved on and met someone else (I’ll call him David).
David and I had a whirlwind courtship. He fell hard for me and even proposed after only a couple of weeks. I felt things were moving a little fast for that and we slowed things down. Then he started working more and more and didn’t have time for me. I also couldn’t get Tony out of my head.
Over Labor Day weekend, I broke up with David because of the lack of attention. I contacted Tony and we started going out again. Here’s where things start to get interesting. You see, David has money. Lots of money. There is a woman he works with who has wanted him and his money for years. After we broke up, he gave in to her advances.
He and I continued to talk via IM almost every day. After a couple of weeks he told me that he was in kind of a pickle. The woman he was seeing (Janet) told him she was still seeing someone else, and that she was going to continue to do so. She and (Carla) were in love and they wanted David to be a part of a commited three-some. :rolleyes: OOOOkaaaaaaay. This is a new one.
I find out more and more about Tony. I like it all, and some of the stuff he told me would send some women running for the hills. But Tony runs hot and cold. Sometimes it’s like he doesn’t want anything to do with me at all, and other times, he’s crazy for me. Our relationship seems to be purely sexual, even though I would like so much more.
So I started seeing David again. Janet is jealous of me because Carla likes me. She doesn’t know that David and I have started seeing each other again. He doesn’t want to tell her because they work together and things could get ugly. Duh, we are already there. So I’m seeing Tony and David, and Carla wants me, and Janet is in the middle.
Fun, huh? And this is the short version. There is a lot more drama involved. I feel bad because I don’t feel a bit bad about any of it. Does that make me a horrible person. I hope not. I want to be with one, but if I can’t be with him I want the other one. So right now I’m hedging my bets. I’m sure eventually it will all blow up in my face.
