Very long story ... perhaps

[mike311gd]

This, obviously, isn't the aforementioned story. However, before I write it out, I want to see if people will really read this; I know a lot of times when I see a lengthy tale, I'll click away. But I want serious feedback on this.

The story is true and autobiographical, and I'd like some advice -- particularly from the women.

Here's a brief synopsis: Boy meets Girl, the two talk, fall in love, break up, stay friends, get back together, fall back in love, break up, Girl dates other Girl, Boy and Girl lose touch a little then altogether, then much later reconnect and discuss a third round, but Girl needs to come clean about something to Boy, Boy waits and waits and waits ... and waits some more, Boy tells Girl he still loves her, Girl says nothing ... it goes on. ... Boy comes to Message Board. ...

It's much, much more involved than that, so let me know if I should devote an hour or so to a post. Thanks a lot.

I'm not a lady, but I'd read it.

I definitely want to read it, though I am not a lady either.

Mike, let it out, bud. Most people here are great listeners/readers and would help, if possible.

Bring it on!

Hell, half the board will read it just for the "girl dates other girl" part.

Mike, I second Colton's post. I started an insane Divorce thread and woke up the next day thinking I was going to be ridiculed, instead I received about 40 PMs with advice and condolences and a nice thread to read with others' stories about the process.
I would post the story and let the nice side of SportsJournalists.com help out.

Mike, I, too, am in a similar boat. Had a great relationship with this one girl. My parents loved her (and still do) and we had a lot of fun, but things went south and we broke up. We are still good friends thankfully, but about a year ago, she tells me that she started dating again. With another girl. Obviously, that was a dropkick to the junk, but I survived. Barely.

My stepmother divorced my biological father and then came out. Far as his children are concerned, it was poetic justice given his inablity to keep his **** in his pants.

Why is that a dropkick to the junk? Hell, if anything that would make me feel better about a relationship that didn't work out. She was into girls all along! I was just so damn sexy that she gave it a whirl with me anyway! I wonder if they'll let me watch.

But maybe that's just me.

Seriously, let's hear this story. Yes, a few jackassess will post the things that jackasses post. But you'll probably get some good advice and a few laughs out of it. Both are good things.

I have no clue as to who those people are.

 

[sportschick]

Lou Diamond Phillips.

Melissa Etheridge and her old partner, Juli Cypher (maybe), formerly married to Lou.

 

[Cracker]

I have no clue as to who those people are.

I think it's Richie Valens on top, and Melissa Ethridge and some chick in sunglasses on the bottom.

 

[devils_claw]

i''ll add my (female) voice to the list....i wanna hear it.

 

[write then drink]

don't give a flying ****, sorry!

well, he did ask ...

 

[Moderator1]

You think his middle name is really Diamond?

 

[Songbird]

Lou Amethyst Phillips?

I'm sure it's entertaining enough to read. And I don't expect a lot of people to invest the time; like I said, I probably wouldn't. Also, I expect people to cut jokes. This is, after all, sportsjournalists.com. It's part of the reason I enjoy using the board so much.

I'll start writing after I finish my work today. I'll do my best to write my tale before I leave for a wedding Thursday.

If the ending doesn't include boy moving on because girl is always going to be flakey, then it sounds like it won't have a happy ending.
