Dear Gay Best Friend,
I really love (!) your book. “Straight from your Gay Best Friend,” is a super cute informative book. I am in a situation where your book really hit home in a lot of places. So, made me think what you would say to me. I’ll start from the beginning and only give you major details.
I was dating someone for 4 years, we were separated, working on things. October 2009 he passed away in a motorcycle accident. While working on things we were seeing other people. After he passed this other guy was completely there for me. He read the Bible to me at night while I fell asleep. He was just there. Eventually we started dating. He cheated on me with 2 girls. We all, including him, worked for the same company at the same location! Needless to say I gave him and them a piece of my mind and have never looked back.
Afterwards, I kinda “talked” to and dated 1 or 2 guys. Nothing serious. Then I come in contact with a man that I already knew. He was a very close friend of the guy who I dated that had passed. We were never really close before. My best friend and his friend were engaged to be married. This guy also liked our other friend who had a boyfriend. He saw me with a guy and told me he didn’t think he was good enough for me. I told him he deserved an amazing woman.
We both were in the wedding and that was our first date. We’ve been dating 10 months. He is a beautiful African-American man. He is generous and caring. I am amazed by him. Sounds perfect huh? He’s stopped being so sweet, he thinks romantic things are cliché, he’s going out every night, and we argue like crazy. But I’m completely in love with him.
Last week we got in a big argument, while we had been drinking. Majority of the time we argue is when we’ve been drinking. He broke up with me. Said he couldn’t deal with all the arguing. I had said that before but never took it that far. That same week we were talking about having a baby, but he thinks it’s too soon to move in together. I am lost! The next day we’re back together. I’ve taken this week away from him. I’ve seen him 3 days for very little amount time. I put a lot of myself into my relationships. I think I almost lose myself, so I refuse from now on.
I am curious where you think I and this man should go from here. I did the lists that you tell women to do in your book and he is everything I want. And has few things I don’t like. Is that too long?? Sorry! – Confused About How To Proceed
“I’m Unattractive, Overweight And Tired Of Trying To Make Myself Look Good”
Dear Ms. Confused About How To Proceed,
And, ladies and gentlemen, here we have, yet, another case of “Strung Out On D**K.” I keep telling you all that d**k is the most powerful and dangerous drug in the world. I am presenting States evidence of that from the letter above.
Now, let’s proceed with this case. I think there is some contradiction to your current boo. You say he is generous and caring, yet he stopped being sweet, he thinks romantic things are cliché, he goes out every night, and you argue like crazy. Hmmmm, sounds like you got the game confused. How can he be generous and caring, yet his behavior says otherwise? Please explain that to me. I’ll wait while you get the d**k taste out your mouth. The residue is going to kill.
And, if majority of the time you argue is when you drink, then duh, stop drinking! I swear getting a f***ing clue seems so hard these days. Sh*t staring you right in the face, and obvious of how to mend your relationship, yet you keep doing the same behavior over and over again expecting a different result. Oh, yeah, where I come from they call that crazy! SMDH! I am really beginning to believe that many of you are raising your own damn fool selves.
I can’t believe the two of you are even considering bringing a child into this world, let alone your crazy ass world. Please don’t! Please, I urge and beg of you to not bring a child into this world. You two are not ready. The child deserves better parents than the two of you retarded ass knuckleheads.
The both of you need therapy and some AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). Yes, darling, you two have a drinking problem and you need some serious counseling. You’re drinking all the time, and then get into fights. That is a hot ass mess. What the hell are you two drinking, and why the hell are you drinking? I know it’s nothing top shelf. Ole fake two dollar bottle drinking country bumpkins. And, I’m sure you’re drinking so that the two of you can stand to be around one another. And, you need some additional counseling with D**ks Anonymous. As one of my faithful readers stated, the introductions would go like this, “Hi my name is (state your name), and I’m addicted to D**K!” LMBAO!
Look, Ms. Confused About How To Proceed, it’s clear from your letter that you like the swirl of some cocoa in your milk. I peeped it when you wrote, “he is a beautiful African-American man.” That was your sly little way of letting us know you were white. Girl, don’t be scared to speak up and state your race. We all know once you go black you can’t go back. And, I know he is dropping it on you and putting that schlong in you like you never had it before, thus causing your addiction. It’s hard to curb those affects. That’s why you think you’re in love. LMBAO! Girl, love? Really? With all that drama going on between you two, and you think it’s love? I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. It’s obvious he doesn’t consider you wifey material or even the possibility to shack up together. Thank goodness. After ten months you two are displaying behaviors that are cause for concern. You know what’s sad is that if you two bring a baby into the world, and decide to get married, you will be known as ‘that’ married couple who comes to the family outings, events, and reunions and get drunk and show out in front of everybody. They know you two will bring the drama and air out your own dirty laundry, and then get to fighting and acting a fool. Of course embarrassing your child. So damn sad. Girl, get your life together, and get into some therapy with him. If he doesn’t want to get help, then it’s time to move on. You can do better but you have to be willing to work on you, stop drinking, wean yourself off the d**k, and revitalize your spirit. And, oh yeah, he ain’t the one. – Straight From Your Gay Best Friend
