im unavailable right now please leave



I'm unavailable right now, please leave your girlfriend after the beep.

This has become a reoccurring theme in my life, taken men. Last

August, vacation, guy who lives across the street with his family,

truth or dare leads to drunken Iforgotuseacondom sex. Oh you have a

girlfriend? Oh well, I'll visit you and your family next week and lets

fuck around again. The next day, I go to the party of the year get

wasted, play phone tag with my ex, but keep missing his calls because

I'm having drunken idon'tremembermostofit sex with one of my old best

friends boyfriends. He calls me the next day to ask me to get together

later. I decline. As it turns out they had just broken up, so I was in

the clear. This past month, at work, two stores down, an attractive

(26y.o) man, a friend tells him I'm interested, he is all about it.

Thing is he has a wife and a small daughter. Its a known fact he

doesn't love her anymore and has had girlfriends. I'm going with a no

for now on that one, I'm not going to hell for this.

I don't have any real regrets about those events. They happened, I

moved on. Three days ago I almost had sex with one of my best friends.

He has a girlfriend. Who is kinda sorta one of my friends. But only

because I am friends with him. I did a bad thing. But isn't it more

his fault? I betrayed the laws of friendship. Why? Because I was

wasted, have an inappropriate frush* on him, and lets face it,

probably because I wanted to. And it was pretty nice. Its nice to feel

wanted. Its not nice to feel used. Being good friends, we hang out on

a regular basis, and now when I call I feel like he thinks I want to

be with him, that I'm one of those girls. Which he knows I'm not. I

just don't understand how he can cheat on the girl he has loved for

the past ten years (They've been on and off since they were 12), and

think its okay. His mentality, which has been discussed, is that

whatever happens in the moment is not to be regretted, especially if

it was as good as it was. But I don't understand how he can just go

back to that with no cares, and I sit around beating myself up.

Probably because I am part of the reason he stopped cheating on her in

the first place. For the past two years that we have been good friends

I've been telling him that every time he does it, he hurts her, and he

didn't see it like that. Hes all about free love and being crazy, and

his only other female friends didn't see anything the way we do. But

in the past two years, and the year they've been together again, he

hasn't (to any of our knowledge) been with anyone else, until me. How

fucked up is that? I help him change his ways, and then I am the

reason he relapses. It just more wrong because yes, in the moment it

may have felt so right, but the next day there was no need for text

messages saying "if you haven't noticed i wanna fuck the shit out of

you," and about next time, things about he doesn't regret a second of

it, how we'd (how lame) rock each other's worlds (which we would), and

something about romance. I reply over and over again with how wrong it

was, how we aren't allowed to do it again and with THIS IS NOT

ROMANCE! THIS WAS DRUNK. But I also replied with flirty something-isms

because its nice to feel wanted, and I want to feel wanted, not him.

This is just annoying how much I am analyzing this. Because the flat

out answer is: This is wrong, I need to not do it again. I need to

shut my mouth, and make everything normal again. Because if I do it

again, which I want to, I will go to hell and hurt friendships that I

cherish, his mostly but hers in part. I'm going to hell anyway, whats

more kissing going to do. But I won't, for now.

*I must credit Jew of An Irish and A Jew for her excellent talents of

making up words and giving them definitions. Frush: Mistakenly

believing you have a crush on someone, when really they are just a

kickass friend you want to see all the time.
