Hi. I'm trying to think of another description to put here. Any ideas? I'll try again at 420.

Hi there!!!


Did you guys hear about the chick who lost a nose-ring while she was swimming and then her boyfriend caught the fish that ate it, thereby getting the jewelry back for her? Now THAT'S a boyfriend. Here's the story if you'd like to read it:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,319986,00.html

None of my guys ever found anything that I lost. That would take some hellascious luck and I don't have any of that. I've been a Cubs fan so long that losing crap is no big deal anymore. I just expect it and patiently wait for next year.

I haven't made any New Year's resolutions so I haven't broken any of them. Have you guys made yours? Has anyone broken any yet? I don't think that I ever made one. It's sort of setting yourself up for failure at the beginning of a New Year and I hate that. I could resolve not to eat spinach and I'd still accidentally break that resolution by dipping a chip in artichoke dip...I don't have fish-girl's luck.

I could resolve to win the lottery this year...ya think? That'd be a resolution I could live with. Other than that, I can't promise myself anything. Oh, I could resolve never to make a resolution! OK, that's a good one. I've resolved NEVER to make a resolution.

Cheek Dude and I went out to eat last night. Then, we went back to his place and watched South Park. That was fun. His kids come back from his parents this weekend so I won't be able to see him as much as I have been lately. I've seen him every day this week except New Year's Eve...I'm getting spoiled.

When I'm not with him, I try to tell myself what a jerk he is and I work myself up into a foul mood. Then when he calls, I totally stop being annoyed. And on top of that, he always says something to completely deflate my reason for being irritated in the first place without me saying a word about it. He's just so good at that. I don't know how he does it but he's sort of like a really, really good guy. I keep waiting for him to do something stupid and man-like but he never does.

I bet he would even fish out my lost jewelry if I asked him to.

Anyway, now I am getting curious about his marriage, only because I wonder the same thing that Cheryl did...how did any woman let him get away? If he's as nice as he seems (and I really haven't known him long enough to know that) he really is a good catch and I can't imagine anyone letting him go. Oh well, one of these days I'll find out.

Has anyone out there ever met a seemingly perfect guy? I'd be curious if there really are guys this good out there. Has anyone out there ever even SEEN a really nice guy? Are there really nice guys who are also smart, nice looking, tall and neat yet obviously heterosexual? And if there are, are those guys actually loyal for any length of time? I sort of find this hard to swallow. Something HAS to be wrong here.

What am I missing? I'm not usually a fool so this one is really making me think. I can't seem to find fault with him and Lord knows I've tried. I have to be missing something damn it!

I'd say that the fact that he has custody of his children indicates that the problem wasn't him. He might be just as nice and normal as he appears, and he could have married some woman who turned out to be a whack job. If he was a bad guy, or had been the one doing something hideous in the marriage, he wouldn't have custody of his children.

I actually considered that but didn't want to sound biased. I'm glad that you said that!

I agree with Jaded. I'm sorry I put bad thoughts in your head Meg! Darn me and my jaded thinking. Now that I think about it, maybe there isn't/wasn't anything wrong with HIM per se. Maybe the problem lies with his EX instead. Maybe you found your Prince Charming afterall! I say just ride the wave. Enjoy it, because God knows you deserve it! :)

After dating many, MANY jerks - I did find and marry a nice one. He is absolutey amazing and we have been married for 10 years. He cleans, cooks, takes care of the kids, is great in bed, good looking, has a great job and treats me like a queen (no matter how fat I get). They are out there!!!

Cheryl,

You didn't really put that in my head, I just started wondering myself.

And, excuse me...Fatty, congrats to you and the family! I hope you guys stay together until death do you part.

I suppose it IS possible...but I'm still gonna keep my eyes and ears open!

I just know there is someone out there for you that is good enough, smart enough, and will treat you right. I have read your blog and something about it just touches me - I feel for you sista!!! As I said before I have been cheated on by boyfriends (one even slept with my younger, underaged sister). I would never let another man get away with it. As my Grandma would say, good riddance to bad garbage.

I think it could actually be several things taking place or none at all. Perhaps his ex was a whack job (as Jaded said) and that would be a very good explanation as to why he has custody of the kids.

I think it could also be that, whatever might have annoyed his ex about him was the straw that broke the camels back and yet that little thing might not annoy you at all. As they say, "one woman's junk is another woman's treasure."

I'm not a divorced woman, but I am a gay man and even being a man I can't figure out how men think. The truth is we all act and do things in our own way based on our past experiences. Perhaps he learned from his past relationship and is now making an honest effort to be better. One can only hope.

I say, just be happy you have found your Prince Charming. No one is perfect. We just find out what someone's bad habits are and say, "can I live with this or not?"

Grandma's are ALWAYS right...isn't that something? I sure do miss mine.

I always say if you want to know what a man is thinking, ask another man. But, if a gay guy can't figure those little bastards out, I have no fricking hope.

We gay men can help with a lot of topics and love chatting with women ... but as I said everyone is different whether they be male of female.

You never know what is going on in someone else's mind. They all have different experiences that shape them into who they are. But the best of us try and learn from those experiences and better ourselves and that bettering of course bleeds over to our new boyfriends or husbands. I know for sure I'm a better, less selfish, person than I was in my first relationship and I'm a lot more conscience of the things I do and say than I was then.

I was lucky enough to find my perfect man when we were 17/18. As for your criteria, he's not tall :P But don't worry, he's not insecure either!

I firmly believe that out there in the world is at least one person who would be the partner you want them to be. Even the wopigs have their cheating men, much as we could wish they didn't :P But you know what you want and I'm sure there is one for you! Maybe Cheek Dude is it...

I'm always pleased to see any guy comment. They have told me that they read this because they like to know what women think. I like having them here for the same reason.

So, Antonio, I AM glad that you're here and that you're ready to tell us from a man's perspective. Gay or not, you are a guy and we do like them here!

By the way, he isn't the first. I've had gay guys say things like "Your husband makes me glad that I'm gay!" LOLOLOL...they do come around every so often.

I have two little munchkins in my bed and I have to go see if they've left me any room.

Good night you guys!

WHEW! I didn't know what "fag hag" meant but I trusted Eliza enough to post that comment knowing that she wouldn't say anything nasty. I'm SOOOO glad that I was right...SEE THIS IS WHAT I MEAN ABOUT TRUST! I trusted someone even though I wondered about what they had done but I, ME, MYSELF, I trusted the right person. Maybe I can do this.

By the way, what the hell is a fag hag?
