So my husband that I “unmarried” use to tell me that I lived in a Mary Poppins world. (Again I have issues with the ex-spouse word like the “d” word. Read my first post for clarification.) Which, I am now beginning to wonder if he was right that I live in this wonderland or if I just like to highlight the good in the world instead of focusing on the bad? And yes I like to have morals and values and I like to live by them. It makes the meaning of life more meaningful!
What is up with this? What has happened to our world? My poor Mary Poppins world has turned into “The Bachelor/The Bachelorette” WHAT THE H.E.-double hockey sticks!!! I hate that now that I am just past 30 I can no longer make new male “just friends”.
In my Mary Poppins world men and women can be “just friends”. (Disclaimer - The conntent in this post is referring only to men and women relationships I cannot speak on same sex relationships, though I’m sure it can be just as complicated.) I never thought this was really such a big deal or even a question if it really was possible. I have a lot of guy friends from highschool and college that are "just friends." Of course you can be “just friends” if you really want. Well, I thought this until recently when I was trying to be “just friends” with this guy and he just wouldn’t take “just friends” for an answer. Like it was a code I was using for "please keep hitting on." News Flash - I REALLY ONLY WANTED TO BE FRIENDS.
So now I’m beginning to wonder if there is an age where this becomes impossible; let’s say once you hit 30 there is no longer an option to make friends with the opposite sex. From 30 forward there are only two reasons that most people want to meet others; marriage or a fling. I’m just the only one who want to meet people, I know this is crazy, but I want to meet people . . . wait here it is . . . to meet people. I think we have a lot to learn from each other. We are social beings, right?
