Girl.....

I had a boyfriend. Some dude I loved beyond all reason. I knew he was cheating. I knew.

We went to an olive garden once with a friend and this other guy and some girl walk in and sat kitty-corner from us.

It had been some guy he'd been talkin to on a hookup site.

My boyfriend went stony. The other dude looked embarrassed which lead me to believe he knew who I was.

I wanted to die right then and there.

I think if God or the universe were fair, I would have. I would have just shriveled up right there in my embarrassment.

And so I cheated on him with his best friend. There's a song by Julie Roberts called, "The Things Lovers Do When It's Over," and the line that goes...."So I found me a stranger, with his comfort and danger, but I thought about you, the whole time we, were gettin' it on."

Thank God that's over.
