Here's a scenario for your comments/feedback.

Your loved one meets someone, a good someone, probably too good for your loved one (you know your people & you know who & what kinda of people they deserve..don't play). 

The new couple seems to hit it off OK  & you're actually relieved he/she has found someone new.  However, unbeknownst to new boo, your loved one is still involved with his/her alleged ex.   New boo & the ex know about each other, but that's about all. 

You/your family really likes new boo & actually prefers him/her over the ex, but give the situation time to play out. 

After a period time, you realize your loved one is either playing games, can't decide between the two or just being greedy/selfish in regards to the non-conventional 3-some.  Even tho your loved one has developed feelings for new boo & he/she just can't/won't let the ex go. 

Considering the history with the ex is less than desirable & there are no other ties (property, kids, etc.), would you (see poll)....?

Feel free to comment as you like.

Hell, I lost count a long time ago.

Boyfriend 2.0 has a major problem when talk of my past relationships surface.  Keep in mind he's 35 years old and has had no more than 6 serious girlfriends in his lifetime.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but hell, I had more boyfriends than that before I graduated high school. 

Case in point - my 2 BFFs were at my house a few weeks ago and we started talking about all the shenanigans we used to partake in back in the day and when they started in on me & a few names of exes came up, Boyfriend 2.0 left the room. 

Later on, I asked why he left and he said he had no interest in hearing about me & exes.  OK, fine.  He said, "No man wants to know about or think of all the men his woman has been with."  *eyeroll*  I politely told him I'm obviously not a virgin, nor am I saint.  I'm a woman who has a past.  A past that I'm not ashamed of.  Granted, I regret quite a few things, but it all contributed to the woman I am today, and for that, I have no shame.  He didn't want to continue the conversation & asked that I drop it.  OK, whatever.

This got me to thinking, does he now view me as some kind of whore because of my past?  Did he have me on some kind of pedestal & now I'm a fallen angel?

Whatever it is, it's not that bad because he's still here, right? Right!

Now that my lil rant is over, feel free to comment & answer the poll question.

Moral Dilemma

I needed a folding chair & had a coupon for 25% off at a local office supply store, so off I went. 

I get to the store, see the chair on display but not on the shelf.  A CSR comes over to help.  He locates the chair, in a box, behind some other items.  He carries to box to the check out for me.  He even waits & carries the box to my car.

I get home & in my attempt to remove the box from the trunk, the contents slipped out.  I never realized the box was open, since I never laid hands on it.  Much to my surprise, there were two (2) chairs on the box.  I flipped it over & realized the box originally held four (4) chairs.  I've never worked retail, but I'm guessing ole boy was supposed to pull a chair from the box since a SKU was on the chairs and not give me the entire (I'm thinking inventory) box.  Oh well.  Lucky me...2 for 1 right?  Well maybe not.

In a casual convo with a friend, I mentioned my accidental luck & he asked, "Are you gonna take the extra one back?"  *insert Silky's patented record scratch here*  My reply was, "Hell naw!  It's not like I stole it.  I never laid hands on it.  I'm a good customer so I see it as a tiny reward for the hundreds of dollars I've spent in that place."  He replied with,"It's dishonest & you need to take it back.  You might cost that young man his job."  Again, I've never worked retail so I'on really know.

So here I sit, with my 2 for 1 folding chairs.  On one hand, wondering if my keeping this $21 (after discount) chair could really cost the CSR his job.    On the other, remembering my grandpa telling me to, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth."
