Got Problems? Get Lost!

The other day, I stepped out of the office to grab some lunch. As I was walking down the street, a man was walking toward me. I thought I saw his eye fall on my left hand — was he checking to see if I was wearing a ring?

My mind processed all of this within seconds, and then I remembered something John once told me in the midst of dealing with his extra-marital fling.

Who knows if it's true, but he told me that when he met the girl he was cheating with, he told her that we were having marital problems. I'm not sure if he used the word "separated," but he apparently didn't paint her a happy picture of his marriage. What a crock.

He was the one having marital issues! Gee, wish I had received the news bulletin that my husband and I were having marital problems — or perhaps even separated.

My point in bringing this up is that if I ever meet a man who expresses interest in me and he tells me that he is separated or having marriage problems, I will turn and not walk but run.

If you are really interested in getting to know me, and are really having serious marriage problems, come back and see me when your divorce is final — and show me the papers to prove it. Then and only then can I tell fact from fiction.
