I ended up at the bar late, late last night for an impromptu party to celebrate Missy’s Birthday. (Happy Birthday, Dirty Whore!) It was jam packed and there were multiple hottie boys on the make. I am proud to say that I resisted my impulses to be the Make Out Bandit. (Big raspberry to all the naysayers that said I can’t resist temptation) There was a bit of drama that leads me to the Question of the Day.
David and Tawny (Yes, her mother was smoking crack when she named her) broke up recently. We all run in similar social circles, so it made it kinda awkward when they each showed up and stared death-daggers at each other across the table. Tawny did everything for this dude: she picked him up and dropped him off from work, she gave him money when his account went overdrawn, she spent her spare time with him, basically rearranged her life for him and did stuff to make his life easier. David is an okay dude, but a total user. Everyone that knows him knows that he’ll take whatever he can get and would probably sell out his own mother if there was enough in it for him. The only person that didn’t know this was Tawny. He didn’t ask her to do anything for him, but he didn’t tell her no or discourage her from it either. He has severe commitment issues, probably stemming from his hooker ex-girlfriend that has him strung out like a crackhead, but whatever.
The fight started when she introduced him at a party as her boyfriend, he looked at her like she was kind of nuts and changed the subject. She played it off, but they later got into a knock out, drag out about it.She feels like he used her. The only reason why she did all those things for him and stood by him and lent him money was because she thought that they were a couple. Boyfriend and girlfriend. (Off topic sort of, but when did men stop *officially* asking women to be their girlfriends? Do you know how many times I got in trouble for giving out my number to another guy when I thought we were dating, but he thought we were a couple?) He maintains that he never said they were together and that they were just dating. The girls are saying that she was a fool for putting up with him and that he was wrong for not clarifying what the deal was months ago. The guys are saying that it’s not his fault for her reading more into it than what it was.
Now, I have to listen to both of them ranting about the other one and each is asking me to take sides. She’s hurt that I’m not taking her side, seeing as I was in her place a while ago, but it’s not my fight and I refuse to get involved. I’m crazy, not stupid, but I put it to you, O World of Ever-Knowing Bloggers, who is right and who is wrong? Weigh in.
State of the Union: Unsure
