Relationships that aren't what they seem
Quite a nice story
names are changed to protect users from slanderous pms and msgs
both persons involved are users on boards.ie
myself and "claire" met in work, many moons ago, she had told most of the people in work that herself and a long term boyfriend (we will use the name steve) broke up, she proceeded to try her luck with another colleague, she made out with him but soon after got bored of him, saying "that was just a joke really, hes just a child" then after a while she set her sights on me, god knows why im mediocre looking to be quite honest but that was enough for her, we started to txt for a while, one thing led to another and we got together, meeting, kissing and riding whenever the opportunities were available, then on St patricks day of this year after her all day telling me how much she loved me and telling me that she wanted to settle down and have kids with me a txt came through to say "we cannot see eachother anymore, "steve" knows, we cant talk again, thats it"
now in reading this you would assume that the relationship between myslef and "claire" was being kept from "steve", but i assure you this is not the case, she told myself and countless work colleagues that their relationship was over, which in fact after a call placed by "claire" to me which resulted in myself having to explain to "steve" that we had a relationship seemed to say their relationship was very much still on going. this girl (if that word is now applicable) is a sorry excuse for a human being who obviously needs to do things like this to make herself feel better, all i have for this person now is pity, i also pity "steve" because know they are back together and are very much in love, i find fault here, yes love means you can forgive a betrayal but "claire" told me many things including how she has cheated on "steve" many times and each time she didnt think anything of it, no remorse, no shame, nothing
This may seem like a bitter attempt to slander the name of this user, i must say that is not my primary intent, i really just want people to think long and hard about the people they are sharing part of their lives with.
my main question in all of this is:
how well do we really know anyone??
