why don't you stay i'm up off my knees

the girlfriend of one of the guys i use to mess around with found out that he has been cheating on her.

part of me feels no sympathy for her though b/c if she couldn't see the signs a long time ago then she needed to open her eyes. but then i wonder if i just know that because i have been the other girl before? is it easier to recognize when your man is cheating when you have been the one someone cheated with? or does it just make you not trust any man and assume they are all cheating?

a good friend of mine is talking to a guy right now and he is black. she has always dated white guys and now she is talking to a black dude. she keeps telling me she is so scared to date a black guy because all of the guys i have ever dated or messed with or whatever have been cheaters and well black. that is sad to me.

so this chick finding out last night just makes me more happy that i have decided to stop being the other girl. and that i am sticking to it.

The Other Woman

I started this website a few months ago and made a few posts and then decided that what I had written I really wouldn’t want anyone I know to find. So after much thought I am starting over.
I have been going through a lot of changes as of late. The most important of them being that I refuse to be the other woman ever again, okay let me clarify, I refuse to knowingly be the other woman again.

I can’t count on both hands the number of times I have knowingly been the other woman. I thought I could and then the other day I remembered one more. Isn’t that sad? I have always justified my willingness to be the other woman by the fact that if a woman can’t take care of her man at home then it isn’t my fault. If he is going to cheat then he is going to cheat and if I want to sleep with him he might as well cheat with me.

So you might ask what has made me get a conscious and realize I should stop sleeping with men in relationships. Well it has nothing to do with getting a conscious. It has to do with realizing that I am better than that. And I deserve more than that.

So with that I am re-opening Single White Female and I will hopefully start to post on a slightly more regular basis…I will be writing about things like the fact that the guy who asked for the number on Thursday is right now sitting at the other end of the bar flirting with some skinny broad…

Stay tuned.
