My last post about the gay ex, caused quite a bit of controversy amongst some friends and acquaintances. I've been dealing with the fall out for the last few days. It's like "Days Of Our Lives", blog stylee.

See the man in question, R, reads my blog, and a few weeks ago he thought it would be a lark to send a link to his new girlfriend. Yes you heard me right. GIRLFRIEND. As in female, a human with legit girly bits.
Unbeknownst to me, he'd jumped the fence again and decided that the straight life was really for him. He hadn't told his new girl about his "experimentations" (his word) in the gay world, even though his "experiment" involved a five month live in relationship with another man.

So his girlfriend, Little Miss Smug, has enjoyed reading my blog. She has a good laugh at what a vapid, banal, etc, etc, biatch I am. Cos you know, It's funny how I embarrass myself on a daily basis, swear like a truck driver and be a general tard. Makes her feel so much better about herself. Clearly, R made a very good choice with her. She's soooo much better than me.
And then...

Then she reads Friday's post. Puts two and two together, asks a few of R's close friends and what do ya know! R has a secret past!
She confronts him, he reads the post and phones me on Saturday.
How dare I "poke fun at, belittle and ridicule" him.
How dare I discuss personal, sensitive issues about him in a public forum.
Have I no morals, ethics, sensitivity, respect?
Well......I guess not!!

Yes I had an idea he read my blog, hence why I didn't name him. I had no idea he'd switched teams AGAIN, nor that he was in a new relationship with a laydee. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not malicious and I didn't do it to spite him, or hurt him. I honestly did not know. And anyway, I was making fun of ME not him!!

Le sigh.

Is it my fault he showed my blog to his new bitch, just so they could sit back and have conversations that I imagine go something like this;
Her- I can't believe you had a relationship with her!
Him- *laughs* yeah I know. Do you see how fucked up she is!!
Her- You could have done so much better than her.
Him- That's why I have you babe.
Her- awwww
*smooch, smooch, vomit, spew*

Arrgghhh!!
Some of my gay friends are a bit mad at me too. They feel I'm making fun of a sensitive issue, and for that I am truly sorry. It was never my intent.
I had no idea that a stupid blog post could cause so much angst. I've read it over a hundred times and I really don't see what there is to be upset about. I wrote about a situation in MY life, something that happened to ME.
But if I offended anyone. I'm sorry.

It's the pitfall of having people you know read your blog. I suppose I should be more careful.

Anyhoo, apart from that, all kinds of shit are hitting the fan at work. My boss has resigned, my workload has increased ten fold, and I'm stressed to the max.
I need a fucking holiday. STAT!
