The Email That I Don't Want

Hello Athena,


I just wanted to say hello and check to see how you were doing. I have a new phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx, if you ever want to get in touch with me. I was just thinking about you today and wanted to say hello.

Talk to you soon,

Jack
*******************************************************************

For those of you playing along at home, Jack was a guy I dated a few years ago. He and I met thru a dating site, where he proclaimed to be divorced for three years, single now, no kids.

I later found out that: 1) he wasn't divorced, had never been divorced; 2) was, in fact, married to a very nice woman and 3) wasn't apparently planning on divorcing, just liked to cheat.  Oh, and his wife said they'd had a number of problems in their 12 (!) year marriage but she always hoped he'd change.

Oh Sister, Love May Be Blind, but You've Gouged Out Your EYES.

Since that time, I've not been in contact with him.  I have received a few emails from him (like the one above, received at my work email account last night), but have steadfastly ignored him. 

I will continue to do so.

'Talk to you soon' -- how's never, Jack?  Never good for you?  Good for me.

Athena,

First, thanks for you very kind and understanding comment on my post about The Wall. I could feel your emotions while reading your words.

As to Jack the Jerk, you were a victim of this predator, and I am behind you 100% in your unwillingness to allow him to penetrate your private world again. Delete his email address from your contacts list and do your best to forget he exists. You go, Girl!


Namaste..........cj

CJ,

Thank you. Your blog(s) are delightful to read and I enjoy your musings.

And no -- he's not allowed back in, ever.
