Caught Between A Rock And A Hard Place
by ronniegirl
Watching a program tonight that took the place of Boston Legal, my memory was jogged about a situation my husband and I were thrust into years ago.
We, and our best friends Dorothy and Joe, had boat stalls next to each other at a marina in Galveston. One morning my husband and I decided to do a little work on it, and as we approached our stall, we noticed Dorothy and Joe's boat was not there.
We worked a few hours and lo and behold, here they came in. As they were backing into their stall, I noticed that, THAT WASN'T DOROTHY SITTING NEXT TO JOE. It was some young blond, giggling Bimbo I'd never seen before. Joe tied off as we said hello, gave the Bimbo his keys and told her to wait for him in the car, never acknowledging her presence to us. I then watched my best friend's husband walk down the pier to his car, and waiting Bimbo.
Needless to say, I was FURIOUS. We talked about it on the way home and I was asked not to say anything to Dorothy, because he wanted to talk to Joe first.
Well, Joe went home and told on himself. He knew me well enough to know what just might happen. I'm glad I never had to choose to tell, or not to tell, because it could have backfired and cost a friendship. Oh yeah....the boat was sold, they divorced three years later, and we haven't seen Joe in years.
Have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position, or wished someone would have told you something?

Good morning owls! Been reading the comments with interest... I'm afraid I don't have a personal story about "your cheatin' heart", but it looks to be pretty prevalent!
I do have one observation, though. Mary/MI, I wonder, if in some alternate universe, you two had got together, and even proceeded to do something like a "Same Time, Next Year" number, if there would really have been any harm done.
Fidelity is a virtue, and infidelity is a sin, we are all taught from the time we are born. But as I get on in years, and consider the absolute finality that is death, I do wonder. In one fell swoop, death obliterates all possibilities, all opportunities, leaving us only with "could-have-beens" and "what if" scenarios.
I had a brief but torrid fling with a "married" man back in the late 80's. He had been with his partner for about 20 years at that point, and I was just embarking on a relationship with my ex (the one before Huz). We kept our meetings discrete, and no one got hurt as far as I know. I'm not sorry at all that we did it... I think both of us look back on it with affection!
K'girl and MEK: Totally exciting that you guys got to hook up! It is, indeed, an owl nest "meet week"!
Dianne, thanks for the kind words both here and on my MySpace page. It was so fun to read your comment earlier today about your first husband being a policeman, because I wanted to shout out "I knew that! I knew that"!! :)
Just Lin: Aren't we human beings funny? After all these years of you two knowing each other, and the first meeting between you and custard seems to be coming down to... the sex!
Jodi: Hmmm. More cushion for pushin... and if you're really lucky, and you and huz ever start to move up and down and you happen to hit a mutually reinforcing fundamental frequency... then you won't be just a cushion, but a natural vibrator, too! LOL!
Birdee and Iteach - Until I looked at the comments you two sent me I forgot it was March today. That lifted my spirits a lot. My grandmother died in February and my mother always thought she would too. She always hated February. Well she isn't feeling well but February is now over. Whoopie!!!!
Lynn - I agree. I would never pay $70 for a bra but I like the 'X your heart' ones that retail for that. I always wait for the half price sale and get 2 or 3 at one time.
Ibebold - I repeat that "You are not important enough in my life" expression a lot. I have a real problem with being too sensitive. I have been all my life and at my age I am not about to change even though I would like to.
Iteach - When I first retired and had just one dog I got up when ever I felt like it. (That is except for the 3 years I gave day care to my grand daughter.) Now I have Tia, she is almost 2 and has us up at seven every morning. I hope she slows down as she gets older. It's nice to have one day a week when you can sleep as
long as you like.
