So, there was a thing that happened a few nights ago. For the last few months I've had a crush on someone....it's been both physical and emotional....well she's had a boyfriend, one for years that has never trusted her around me, or me around her. I think he might have been jealous of the closeness of the two of us. We'd been flirty we'd make sex jokes about doing eachother, etc. etc.

So this last weekend, Sunday night, I had her over, she was drunk, she was heavily coming onto me and she was mad at her boyfriend. She (I'm leaving her nameless for her sake) was to the point of clamoring onto me while I was pushing her off, telling her she had a boyfriend, and eventually dropped her off at his place.

Basically the next day I got a text from both of their numbers thanking me about the decision I made, as well as the self control I showed. As a result her boyfriend doesn't have a problem with us hanging out anymore, what's more when asked if he had a problem with it, I overheard him say "No I trust her with him...I know he's got a good heart" and that...brought such a smile to my face....

The gist of this is....if and I know I've done this to a few of people, if I've come off as someone who just disregard's relationships, it's not the fact that I'm trying to steal your woman, I have boundaries that I set, and lines that I refuse to cross. I want you to know, I'm not a home wrecker....and I can say that in the face of temptation, I could have easily destroyed and shat on their relationship and left it in ruins.

But it's that level of respect that I'm drawn to right now, the idea that you know what, her boyfriend trusts me completely. The idea that his friends know I'm not just some sleeze hanging around waiting for a fruit out of my reach to fall from the tree.

There are things I will admit, I have a flirty sociable personality, but that hardly means I'm a womanizer, or a seducer. While I can honestly say, the idea of fucking people over has been pitched to me...multiple times by multiple people.....I can just say that I enjoy being respected for taking the moral high ground, and I came to the realization that if that means I'm single for a longer time, so be it.......I'm sure what's in store for me is worth the wait.
