Dr. Drew was on a talk show last night and mentioned this scenario in particular. He said this is the second-most common scenario with women sleeping around, where she sleeps with someone else specifically to make a point to the man about the relationship. Which is pretty messed up. "Hey, I just cheated on you, what do you think about that!?"

Dr. Drew said women generally sleep around because their emotional needs are not being fulfilled in the relationship. Men do it "because they can" (Clinton's words) without consideration for the larger impact on the relationship and the people around them etc.

I dunno if I buy it all. But I always enjoy Dr. Drew. He's a good guy.

Oh he's completely useless... I used to see him on Lovelines sometimes when it was right after Daria on MTV, and I thought he was kind of self-righteous and didn't give very useful advice.

Well---the question now is: should I drown my sorrows? Or, since I recently drowned my nervous breakdown (ie: work nervous breakdown) maybe that would be redundant? I would hate to be redundant...

Well ...

My advice as a professional and as a chick would be ...

Go buy some shoes*.

Oh, and steer clear of happy, romantic movies for a couple weeks.

___________
* If you don't find comfort and solace in shoe shopping, go buy something else. I, for example, buy firearms. Don't overspend, but make sure it's something that you REALLY like.

YEAH! I never thought about firearms! Might just do the trick! :rattat:

Definitely don't go booze redundant, especially with firearms.

Yeah, I'm kidding. I'm a big wuss anyway. If you step on my foot I say, "Oh! sorry!" It's just a fantasy--me, actually getting someone back. I usually send a nice "thank-you" card to the one who hurt me...

I always thought Dr. Drew was sorta hot. It might be the whole doctor/smart guy thing, I'm not sure. His advice always seemed pretty legit, too.

Send him a "used" condom with that "thank-you" card. Take some egg whites and put them in the condom then put the condom in the card. When he opens the card the condom should fall out on his lap. Nothing says "I'm over you" like a used condom in the lap. That, and its super gross so its a nice, get them back type of thing. :)

I love it!! :king:

Uh...was this a mutual acquaintance, or did the bitch just call you up to rub your face in it? If the former, did she have reason to believe that you were okay with sharing (some are, at least, in my community, they are)? If the latter, well...dump the jerk.

the 'ho just called me up to rub it in my face b/c said "man" is a sort of (or was,)"catch" as in politically, economically, and socially "placed"--much like an olive.

The question must be asked ... has said man confirmed catty-bitch's report?

are you insane, wolf???? come ON! I, being a source of (ahem--close your eyes, baby, close your eyes...) NOOKIE----I'd imagine we (said 'ho) have pics or video. Why else bother? I am nobody (tho I can't say that for the rest of 'em...)

Well ... you said that she identifies himself as a "catch". What better way to make him available on the market than to screw with YOUR head.

Think.

How does she know?

Is she in Berkeley? Did she see him in flagrante delicto.

Is she the offender in the situation?

What's the real deal.

What do you know vs. what do you suspect?
