Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
It’s official. Another one of my exes is married. A source tells me the deed is done and Ketchup Boy is wearing a wedding band. I’ve actually known for a couple of weeks and have been processing what this information means to me. Let’s face it the dude was not one that got away by any means. The fear of ketchup, hell of anything new and different was downright annoying. And let’s not even talk about that 20-year-old toothbrush! Wait, maybe we should talk about it. I wonder if his wife managed to throw that disgusting thing away.
Wait, his wife? That is so weird to type, let alone say out loud. According to my source, wifey poo is older than him, and apparently well enough off that he will not have to work. And I heard a rumor they were moving to Florida, not Tampa thank goodness, but still this is a man who’s never lived anywhere other than Memphis his entire life– including during college.
But this post isn’t really about him. It’s really about the fact that another one of my exes is married and I’m still single. As I approach my 35th birthday (yikes I hate to even type that number) I’ve been wondering more and more if marriage is in the cards for me any time soon. I’m still in no hurry, but let’s face it I’m not getting any younger. And it appears I’ve spent most of my dating career preparing men for the women they’re going to marry.
Fortunately this one didn’t marry the first girl he dated after me, like many of my other exes. He apparently dallied with a married woman first before finding this dream wife. Wait, that sounded catty. It’s really not the point. The point is I’m beginning to feel a bit un-marriable if you will. I live alone and I like it that way. I answer to only myself. I’m not willing to settle. PERIOD. And I certainly don’t want to kiss any more frogs.
I’m not sure there are many princes decent guys left out there. (At least single and straight ones!) Then again, who knows? Maybe someone will prove me wrong.
Stylishly yours,
Miss Attitude

20 year old toothbrushes and people who won’t try new things are definitely a waste of time for you!
There are decent guys out there, I wish I could box one up and send him to you!
Bottom line: you just haven’t met the right guy.
I am in the same boat – most of the guys I dated seriously ended up marrying their next girlfriend. I know I have helped some be able to get to that point and I often wondered why I couldn’t reap the rewards after having given so much. The answer every time has been: because he wasn’t the right guy for me. I have faith that I’ll meet the right one eventually, but if not, I do like living on my own. a lot.
Hang in there, your prince will come. You are doing the best thing by not settling. You will be happier in the long run.
There is someone better out there for you. However, your pretty great so that makes it hard :). Don’t settle, you deserve the best!!!
