As usual I was discussing dating and love with a friend.
This day in age nothing is private anymore. Everything is public through
social networks, media and the almighty mouth.
She reminded me of the theory, "if the relationship has to be a secret, you
shouldn't be in it".
This would have applied to my situation but in all honesty, as of today,
it applies to hers.
She had been talking and texting with a man that kept her at arms length
for the mere purpose of keeping her at arms length. But the relationship
had to be a secret. Everything about it. Right down to the way text messages
were handled, it had to be a SECRET!
10:00 last night I received her text that the man was now shacking up
with another woman, who he has been, obviously, public with. Make no
mistake, this man and his new woman will probably be posting on the
social media that they are living happily ever after.
Jerk. Yes.
Relationship failure. Probably.
But that gal didn't want to be kept a SECRET.
What did we learn?
When a relationship is secret, you can be sure it will stay that way.
