In Strict Confidence

Sometimes its just so hard to explain certain situations to anyone.

Like when you have a married fellow camped out there on your front room sofa, asking you to take them back into your life. You. A single girl. Who didn't even realise that what you had with the man was more than an "innocent friendship"?
Do you then go to your mother and say, "mamma, I need a spot of advice about this here married man whom I almost kissed once upon a drunken time. Now its all over but he won't accept it"?
Or do you call your married girlfriend on the phone and laughingly inform her of the er... situation?

How about when you have a 30 something year old never-been-kissed virgin guy in your bed, begging to be "deflowered" by you (is that the word for men?) ? Guy has the "need" for a woman so bad. And he believes you should do the honors of introducing him to his first sexual experience. What do you do? Call your pa and ask how it happened to him the first time?did he have to beg for it or did he just take it?
Perhaps it would be wiser to call a more worldly wise girlfriend to help. She'd know what to do. Afterall, she goes through boyfriends like she does clothes. Surely she must have had a "virgin" at some point! But she'll ask how he got into your room and in such randy condition in the first place! Then you begin to look like a seducer of innocent men!

Really knotty situations. These ones.

Or if you are angry at a now married ex for calling you up at odd hours, wanting to cry on your tired shoulders, who do you go crying to?
Especially when the said ex insists that you are the oasis in the (now) desert of his life. And he insists that talking to you gives his life meaning.
One can only roll ones eyes and consult the history books to remember why this guy was ex-ed. It helps the situation none when it is found that this ex once told you that he had to go into hospital because of the troubles you were giving him. That he lived with a constant headache from dealing with you, and his friends all believed he was losing weight rapidly.

Now tell me, to whom do you express the irritation and anger that's sure to follow this revelation?
Perhaps you could call his wife. Confide in her and give her a few tips on how to keep a husband tied securely to her apron strings so that he doesn't go crying to his "troublesome" ex?
Or do you call up your old mutual friends and say, "hey, guess what? just got off the phone with so and so. He was whining like a spineless idiot and wanted to know if we could start something again! Oh yes, he's still married. With two kids!"
*sigh*

At such times it may be wiser to turn to your blog(s). And confide in it. Or them.
