Through the Looking Glass

"And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of."

William Shakespeare

Dirty Laundry

So, assuming that things with Mr. Kent continue to a second date (and beyond I hope) we're inevitably going to get into discussions about our respective pasts. Who we've dated, for how long, why we broke up, how many people we've been with (my personal favorite). So, if and when these conversations come up, what is the best tactic? Complete honesty? Partial honesty? Complete fantasy?

When it comes to starting a new relationship, how much of your dirty laundry should you air out?

How do you explain a break up?

I found this website where an artist scribbles really cool messages on the back of business cards... Ever since I broke up with my ex in January, I'm faced with a ubiquitous question: WHY? Apparently, no one saw it coming but me.

So my question is: how do you explain a break-up?

If I had found this website earlier, I could have printed this card and passed it out in order to explain.

I know I complain about being in No Man Land but honestly, the greatest lesson I have learned this year is that when you're talking about marriage you are playing for keeps and in that context, no man is better than the wrong man.
