Yeah I’d like to keep it professional if that’s okay with you. It’s not you specifically but I just don’t have the energy or the interest

Yeah, it’s no problem & you don’t need reasons, Carl. Sometimes you feel.it and sometimes you don’t. Plus your job is important. Thanks for letting me knkw. I appreciate it. You have a great weekend and take good care of yourself.

OMG! I’ve been so rejected!!!!! GAWD. I am so embarrssd.

You know, I asked him to dinner&movie a month ago??? Said yes like YES! then he went rafting. Came back & just lost interest. And NOW I just put him against the wall and asked What’s Up? Take a shit or leave the toilet. And he gave the It’s me, not you bullshit!

He’s a pharmacist

A loser pharmacist den

I really liked him a lot …

SMH 🙄 PLEASE don’t tell me u planned vacays in ur head, fantazies and shit

No reply.

Fuck! GURL. NOOO. NO.NO.NO.NO this is all fuckedup. I was playN along!! You have a HISBADN, oops, HUSBADN, HUSBAND!!!

Mark. 😭😭😭😭 I keep asking,hinting to marry him. He says no. No. No. No.

Still. U been together 4 12yrs … and in Navajo tradish you all are married.

I tell him and he says, “ Okay, Hun, we’re married.” I want a legal cert stating that by a judge or priest or whatever. Fuck!! I need a cigaette

Yeh-smoke a marlboro calm the shit down keep ur mouth shut.

So do you think it’s really over? I mean, like he really doesn’t like me, isn’t attracted to me?

OMG. Who U B???? seriously Since when? What the Hell Jo when u becom so barbie??? fuuuuck 🤯

What?

When did you become so weak? Like a pink Barbie in distress??? So unlike you.

I REALLY liked Carl, Imogene. I really did. It started small. I didn’t even like him when I first saw him. I thought he was gross, unkept, sloppy, lazy, and disheveled. Then HE started paying attention to me. And I liked it that someone else liked me too. Someone smart. Someone like Carl

Seriously?? Fuck him. Sounds like a predator👹🐽 groomin you from the STRt Count urself LUCKY he just dumped u.

dumped?

Welllll – it was an emotional affair, JO. I can’t even look at Mark now. He’s a unicorn in my eyes. Appreciate him more.

I do!

Okay Ok okokok you r gonna b okay. Seriously. You cannot walk out of a 12 year relationship built on solid love, attraction, humor; you guys are the only ones who get each other; no one man gets you, Jo. And no one woman gets Mark. You both understand, accept and see each other and that is a rare kind of love. And Carl is an immature ass who knowingly crossed a boundary, communicated with a woman who had a boyfriend, and was told that, but then suggested you and him text “ in secret”; he wanted to have sex with you without the emotional baggage.

You think so?

GAWD. I want to slap the ever loving shit out of you. Seriously. I cannot believe you, YOU don’t know that?!?!?

WHY would I know?

CAUSE UR smart, one of the most intelligent women I know. U read psychology books. Behavior books. Denial?

denial.

uuuuuuhhhhhhh

DENIAL?

Yep

WHAT the FUCK are you talking about, Imogene? I’M in DENIAL????? What am I denying????

What, Imogene?????

Hello.

Denial?

Denial makes me sound like a crazy woman! Like I’m Glen Close. “ I will not be denied.” Or something like that. Am I going to show up at his house and cook a rabbit? Am I not listening to him and really think he’s hiding his attraction from me? That he’s lying to me? That’s he’s still playing me along?

You think he’s still playing me along so I’ll CRAWL and BEG, CRAWL and BEG until I am completely submissive?!?!?

I can see that.

WHAT?!?!?

JO- you have a GOOD man. This guy is …………gross.

Mark IS a good man.

He is. And this fuckin Carl doesn’t have what you value in people – if they have it.

what?

A moral compass.

Please. Makes me sound self-righteous.

Not HOLY, CHRIStian morals and shit. Talkin bout doin right, treatin people right w/ luv respect kindness & dignity like…..

what

like……everyone counts with you. THAT moral compass.

Oh my GAWD, Imogene.

Carl. CARL just texted me! He said he wants to go back to when we used to text he wants to forget this professional boundary!

JO. fuck him. NO.

JO!!!

HELLO?!?!?!

Oh my god --- I’m going to call Mark.

I’m dialing Mark’s number right now!

Stop. I’m here at Denny’s. I didn’t reply to Carl. I’m waiting for Mark.

Okay. Good. Ur not thinkin of texting him back are you?

Hello?

Hey. No I’m not.

Okay. Good. You okay? Things okay with Mark?”

Yeah. Things are really good.

Okay.

And?

Elaborate?

I don’t know. Things are good. I had a dream last week that Mark died. I went through hell. When I woke up my heart was beating so loud, crying my face was puffy, and my muscles and bones hurt so much. Mark woke up and held me, took me in his arms, and held me. Held me like we’ve known each other even before we ever met. And I held onto him fiercely my nails digging into his flesh, refusing to let him go, almost screaming, crying, bawling, snots coming out my nose.

Omg

Yeah! And he just held me and told me over and over and over, “ I love you, babe. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here. I love you.” And he held me kissing the top of my head. I fell asleep in his arms and I woke up late. He called us both in to work. We spent that day together. It was perfect.

Whatcha gon do bout Carl den?

Nothing

Nothing?!

Nothing.

Tell him to fuck off

I told Mark everything. He’s going to go with me to every pharmacy visit. He wants to look at Cart in his eyes and tell him man 2 man to fuck off.

LOL. CarT. Lmao

Ha. Didn’t see that.

Not literally though

No but Cart Will get the message.

LOL. Cart will get that message.

Yeah, he will.

Bye, bye Cart.

Bye Cart.
