My job is extremely stressful---my company got caught up in the subprime mortage scandal and as a result our stock plummeted 90% from its yearly high. Our CEO resigned in disgrace, but not before accepting a $10,000,000 golden parachute. Meanwhile, I discover that a significant portion of my bonus, which I had intended to use to pay off my credit card debt, will be paid in restricted company stock, meaning that it cannot be sold for three years. Add this to a highly volatile market which seems to collapse whenever Ben Bernanke sneezes and soar whenever he sports a hard-on beneath his tailored pants and a trading platform that goes down more than Monica Lewinsky and it's no wonder that several times a day everything disappears in a sea of red.
Yes, I deal with stress on the job. So, I really really hate to be nagged by the women in my life. And it seems that reproaches usually come from married women. Christy used to upbraid me for not calling her or emailing her:
"It would have been really nice if you had...."
"I don't understand why you have to be so busy for me....if you liked me, you'd...."
I got tired of it. An affair with a married woman can involve great sex---truthfully, there are few things hotter than violating societal norms. Safe, missionary position, government and church approved intercourse with the officially approved partner can get stale rather quickly. But so can being nagged.
Ginger was warned ahead of time by Len that I don't tolerate drama. If you would like a fun fling, I can provide you with a fun fling. When it stops being fun, there's really no point to it for either of us. Lately, when we trade emails, she writes things like:
"It would have been nice if you had...."
So, I'm debating ending things with her. We've arranged a rendez-vous for two weeks in the future which gives me two weeks to work up the courage for the Gracious Extrication. Or, on the other hand, I can go the passive-aggressive route. Case in point: Ginger has been emailing me a series of very hot and explicit sexual fantasies. She's been bugging me to send her one of mine. I could send her something like this:
"You enter my bedroom. I am standing by my bed. Beside me is a very large German Shepard. You notice that he is not neutered......"
Of course, that is not my better self speaking. I wouldn't do that. And, at the moment I'm only considering severing my ties with her. But her neediness is getting on my nerves....

Huh?... I could tell you the same story about the same woman. She sent me a couple racy emails and wants me to reciprocate.
I’ve been busy with finishing up an old job and starting a new one. She drops hints insinuating how she is disappointed in me for not finishing my fantasy, but I can be shamed into nothing.
I asked her when we can hook up but she’s not finished with Dave. Doesn’t feel right cheating on him, she says. Hello, you’re married to a totally different guy. You don’t feel right cheating on a guy who you’re cheating on your husband with? Are you kidding? Don’t tell Dave that we are doing this. I don’t want to hurt him. Oh, how women rationalize things.
The truth is that I won’t end up hooking up with her because the thrill is that she thinks she would be messing around on Dave and the real secret is that he already knows about all of this.
omg, 'lol' to the german shepherd thing!
ok. sorry, serious now.
anyway - i know what you mean. if len, and you have made it clear what you expect of your fling, then she needs to just deal with it and the reprecussions of not handling it well.
I was going to say something like "What"s up David, why don't you post anything?" and then I realized how Ginger-like it sounded!
Take care!
