Confessions of a bachelor.....

  Does God or whatever is it up that hovers above us put some people on certain paths in terms of relationships?  Is it like the lottery I wonder?  There are people who find their soul mates and live happily ever after and then there are guys like me who seem to have an aversion to any form of relationship bliss.  I mean, I thought I was on that path.  That is, until my significant other at the time, god bless her, informed me that she was a lesbian.  For the record though, it did make for great fiction that nobody wanted.  Anyway.... I've loved four women in my life.  One was an addict, one was suicidal, one was gay.  The fourth one is an absolute delight, understands me like no one ever has.  Did I mention that said woman is also married and lives in another state?  I guess I'm a broke ass Carrie Bradshaw; heavy on the Testosterone and light on the Jimmy Choos.  I do have a misses Big though so go figure.  I'll never marry my Misses Big though.  Heck, my goal is to remain in the same room with her for five minutes without having a stupid fight of some kind.  I must confess, it wasn't the fates that doomed me in terms of Misses Big.  No, I made that mess on my own.  I made decisions based on need in terms of that particular relationship and all hell broke loose.  Now everything is twisted and tangled and lines are blurred.  Then again, what am I going on and on about?  I'm not marriage material.  Why inflict that misery on a member of the opposite sex?  Besides, if I do eventually find a nice sane woman who isn't married or gay or suicidal I might have kids.  You know what that means?  It means that there's a good chance that I'll end up creating a bloodline of lonely hearts in search of relationship bliss.  That means that those kids will probably end up with their own Mister or Misses Big at some point.  Which means, I'll be bombarded by psychiatric bills.  Then again, perhaps my children, if I ever do have any, will avoid the relationship pitfalls of their old man.  Remember kids, always lay the foundation of your relationships before you have intimacy.  NEVER break this rule, your father speaks from experience.  You will regret it if you do.
