Sex & the Single Woman: Ex Factor
Last week I received an email out of the blue from a guy I met at a concert two years ago. We’d gone out, kissed, and then kept in contact from our respective homes in Wales (him) and Texas (me). Of course, things got a little rocky when I found out that he was having an affair with a married woman at the time of our hook-up. He’d painted himself as this lonely guy in the midst of a divorce from his high school sweetheart, which made me want to play the heroine, etc. So naturally when I found out he had this messy thing on the side, I wasn’t impressed.
Needless to say, I was taken aback by his email. Usually when guys from the past – particularly someone you met once – only bother to reconnect when they’re thumbing through their little black books and have a booty call in mind. But nope – after we exchanged pleasantries he told me that he and his formerly married gal are getting hitched next year. Er…congrats?
It’s no skin off my nose what this guy does, but I have no idea why he was reaching out to me. Surely his missus wouldn’t like it, and we hadn’t really formed a bond outside of physical attraction.
Ah, men.

That is kind of random. Two years is a long time ago, especially if you lived so far apart. I once had a guy who sought me out to inform me that he moved on, but at that point I had too. Confusing!
I had a man who dumped me write me a letter about a year later telling me I was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him and that he was a fool for dumping me (well, yeah!!). I had no desire to re-kindle things with him… but I kept the letter as an ego boost! ;-)
