"My dearest friend if you don’t mind I’d like to join you by your side. Where we can gaze into the stars and sit together now and forever. For it is plain, as anyone can see, we’re simply meant to be. ” —Jack Skellington

it is absolutely gut wrenching to see * with his girlfriend, even if everything was totally awkward and shit.  i tried very hard to dislike her but wasn’t capable of it. dammit! she is not good enough for him (no one ever could be) but i like her.  she invited us to a party and wants to watch ‘drag me to hell’ with me sometime. how can you dislike that?

he is beautiful. drives me insane.

e would be much happier if i didn’t hang out with s (the girlfriend) because by nature the more i hang out with s the more i’ll see * and that makes e unhappy. 

i discussed this all with my friend last night and we determined there are three options:

1. confrontation
2. avoidance
3. nada

confrontation wouldn’t work because when confronted previously * simply acted as though he had no idea what i was talking about and that i was nuts. he prob won’t be quite such an ass this time but i guarantee even the kindest direct statements will be blown off. also that would make me far too uncomfortable.

avoidance is too painful.  i cannot be unfriendly when in his presence and cannot force myself not to speak with him. i also can’t keep making excuses not to attend family events because my mil was starting to get pissed.

nada seems to be the best solution.  socialize with him when forced to, be as friendly or whatever as i feel like being, but make no effort to see him when not forced and not to befriend s (especially since quite honestly that would be partially self-serving anyway).  no quiero lo, but it seems to be the best option so as not to cause another fight - i couldn’t stand going through that again, or putting him through any more difficulties - not to rebreak my own heart, and not to irritate any of the parties involved.

it is suitable to my nature to do nothing and let other people define the interactions. 

i refused to fight with him, when all that shit happened, in part because that is my way, and in part because there is no part of me that could possibly bear him any malice no matter what he did.

but this all is going to have to end at some point, even if only through death by lack of action.  honestly, i couldn’t befriend her and spend more time with her and by extention, him. i don’t think i could take it.

okay. bisexual means you like men and women. so clearly if you like both, you can be in a happy relationship with either and enjoy watching either. duh. that’s not a secret, that’s a definition.

i’m a bisexual female happily married to man and i would enjoy watching angelina jolie wash dishes. sheesh.
