…by shopping, I mean she shopped and I watched. However, the fact that we got along for a few hours was pleasant to say the least. We were also joined by the ex’s two year old daughter, Lilly, who I adore. Anyway, I used to like shopping for two reasons, the first being that I’m quite stylish (if I say so myself) and enjoy spending money on nice clothes and the second being the inevitable procession of the hottest women in the town, dolled up like its Friday night, all of which a perfect distraction for hundreds of bored husbands and boyfriends dragged around by their partners on any given day.
Obviously, the Ex cannot know I’m letching at said hot women and I get the impression every man in the shopping centre is thinking the same thing. The Ex is looking particularly nice today and I regret coming out because her looking nice is a recipe for disaster. Lilly, on the other hand is delightful, horrible, funny, moody, tired, spoilt, delightful, and funny again all afternoon as every two year old should be. She refuses to do anything mummy or Michael asks her to do but has a thoroughly good time.
I blame my non commitment phobia on Shopping centres, I may even sue. For all these hot women walking about the place isn’t healthy for any relationship, especially any relationship I am in! It’s like anything else, you have what you have and then you see what someone else has got and you want some of that also. Usually people feel this emotion towards inanimate objects but very many people also feel this towards people and relationships. The only way of combating it is genuinely being with someone you feel you belong with and, unfortunately, my Ex probably isn’t that person. In fact, its nigh on impossible to ever find anyone suitable and I should know. Whereas most people could probably have a happy relationship with one in ten of the opposite sex, even claiming them to be ‘the one’, when they’re actually ‘the one million’! People like me can only make a relationship work with one in a hundred women because we’re so damn fussy.
Anyway, I can’t think where I’m going with this so I’m going to stop writing and get ready to go round to the Ex’s….why do I do this to myself?
