They Wonder Why We Call Them Pigs

Posted by A.J. Wylder on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 12:00pm

The other night I ran into a guy I know. I have known him for a few years but would consider him more of an acquaintance than a friend. He lives on the West Coast so I don't see him but once a year or so. One thing we do have in common is that we are both divorced.

Anyway, he was on the phone talking with someone and it sounded like it was girl. I asked him if that was the girl he was seeing about a year ago when I saw him last and he said yes and added that they are now living together.

So, several hours (and several drinks) later he starts getting pretty friendly and asks if he could walk me home. I am no dummy and know exactly what that means.

I call him out on the fact that he has a girlfriend and he lives with her! He doesn't deny this is the truth but says that, since his divorce, he lives life to the fullest. His girlfriend is okay with this, he claims. Yeah, right!

I explain to him that I got divorced because my ex was unfaithful and I know what it is like to be the girl who gets her heartbroken. I kindly tell him goodnight and head off alone.

I, of course, can't change his ways but I can control what part I play-or don't play-in his relationship with his girlfriend.

And men wonder why many women call them "pigs."
