Let’s get it straight; I only bang one co-dependent woman at a time. I try to stay classy. Of course I know the haters are going to respond; somehow you seem to think that the haters are the only ones amused by this. Why do I keep responding? I don’t know; maybe to provide more material for the autobiography later? Maybe, just maybe, it isn’t so much that the snark bothers me as much as it really does amuse me. BTW, I’m going to make a concerted effort to include some really bad poetry in future updates; prepare yourselves! About eight hours from now I’ll be hanging out with Mary; i like her and she doesn’t seem like the kind to substitute physical and emotional intimacy so interchangibly. You can all breathe easy; an update will come soon after. Wouldn’t want to disappoint the fans! ---

> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > ]\*\*But patience and persistence actually paid \*\*off here; I’m OK with the way things are between us for now, and I know that people were pulling for Ashley or Mary, but Lauren and I do seem to understand each other better, even with all the emotional baggage that we both bring to the table. I may not be the love of her life, but I am a part of her life, and for now I’m pretty happy with that. I suppose congratulations are in order for finally wearing her down enough to let you put P in V? At least you didn’t have you resort to roofies. > [@Cuckoorex](#): > > I feel an obligation now to update for my loyal subscribers; Mary and I had a few drinks today and talked; she decided that she’s not getting back with the ex after all. We talked for a few hours over drinks and she is in many ways similar to Lauren, except she’s never been married and has no kids. She told me the tragic story about how she got engaged to someone way too quickly and has a wedding dress she hasn’t used from five years ago. She is also very book-smart (like Ashley) and I still find her interesting. I know Lauren and I aren’t exclusive, but sometimes people will say they aren’t exclusive and then they’ll get upset if the other party sees someone else. I really do care about Lauren and don’t want to make her feel badly, but Mary is interesting to me in a different way, we’re just going to hang out together tomorrow night, but I’m going to ask her out again, I think. But will she give you “sporadic handjobs”? Don’t settle. ---
