Houston's Missed Connections: Bad Decisions

20070314_missed_connections.jpg

The Missed Connections Poets Society is at it again. Houstonist is just a caveman...er caveperson, and we're baffled by your rambling stanzas of superfluous prose. Get it on with it already.

Mr. Lynch... - w4m

When your kids graduate, can the two of us play school?
We'd like to accept on behalf of our client, Mr. Lynch.

Ballys Steamroom - m4m

Looking for the two guys who took advantage of me in the steamroom, I'm so confused now, I'm supposed to get married next month and cant stop thinking about what both of you guys did to me. I can't believe I allowed myself to cross a line that never had been crossed. I just need to know if it was really your first time as well.
They must have tricked you with a little game of just the tip. Yeah, it was really their first time...with you.

I hate being just your "friend" w4m

We've been friends a few years now. You've been by my side through more pain and sadness than I'd ever like to experience again. We sit up all night talking and hanging out. You say you love me and I return the feeling. But, for you, it's just not in "that way". You kiss me, you touch me in ways I've never felt before....but we're just friends. I poured my heart out to you - told you exactly how I feel, but you just don't feel the same. I know you are wrong for me for so many reasons, yet I can't stop my heart. Believe me, I've tried. I want to let go, to find someone who really loves me, but I can't. I know I deserve real love, so why can't I get over you? What's wrong with me? Why am I not good enough to deserve your love in "that way"?
Friend zone instead of end zone. Houstonist has been in your shoes many times, hotness. We suggest you give "Thin Line" by Jurassic5 a ride on your headphones. Listen to the words. Believe them. It's gospel. We've lived it. If it still doesn't sink in the watch "The Holiday," which will illustrate the point in an uber-cheesy romantic comedy puke-tastic crap-a-thon. You should definitely see the light then.

for that older family friend.... - w4m

You are my uncle and my dad's friend...I've known you my whole life. but it seems these days when I run into you there is a chemistry there that is beyond the "I'm like an uncle to you" way. I noticed it first back years ago when I was about 18 or so and it was the first time seeing you in years. It was New Years and there was a party at my uncle's house...you suggested I come by your place one day to "hang out". My friend immediately said after you left that you were obviously coming on to me...but I figured that's just how you are...cuz I've heard stories and I know they are all true hahaha. Maybe you will read this...or maybe not...who knows...but you're definately hot for an older man!
Hey, Lolita, keep it in your pants. Your uncle may as well have BAD IDEA tattooed on his ass.

Infinite sadness after the jump.

To my wife (M): - m4w

To my wife (M):

You crushed my heart last night M; I thought you loved me deeply! How can you put a knot in the very chest of the person you love? I cried silently last night; I didn’t want you to see me when I did. I didn’t believe my ears when I first heard it, the tone of your voice, the explicit comments about you know what, and the laughs and the telephone intimacy. It felt like I was falling from a high rise building. I felt small and insignificant. It is like all that I’ve done in the past 7 years was a wash in comparison to what this guy is offering. What is he offering? Did he give you 2 beautiful daughters? Did he cut the cord? Did he hold you when you cried? Did he fight his family and his world to be with you? Did he make Z’s lunch every morning? Did he put up with you when you were YOU? I guess it could be sexually… do I not satisfy you? I suspected that and I worked hard to be sensitive to your desires so I can make you happy in this regard. I know it was horrible when we first met, I was a fucken virgin, but I came a long way, do you still have the original perception about this? Must I divorce my first love to become a better husband to a second wife?

I admit, I recently gave up on our sex life, but you wanna know why? It’s because I don’t feel desired by you, it’s like a fucken chore to you M. Enough anger…………………

I tell you M, I really wish you find happiness with me or without me, because our life is changed forever. I know you think it’s my entire fault because I cheated first, but that was just 3 weeks ago. And I was guilt ridden and I drove 200 miles to confess and apologize, I couldn’t sleep. I guess you are as bad as I am now ha? you treat fire with fire right? I’m disappointed. It is like you have been waiting for me to fall so you can let go as fast as you can. Well fuck it I’m gonna say it, I cheated because of you, yes I did. I want to feel like a man, I don’t feel like a wanted man at home, you are always upset about something and you always snap at me and at the girls about bull shit, you treat me like shit M. Not that guy over the phone though, I bet he was feeling like a desired man……….

I was driving next to this 18 wheeler on my way work and I contemplated just cutting side ways in front of it on the high way, I was imagining how the crash would take place and how fast this pain in my chest would just go away, but then I started thinking about the girls and about how they would grow up without a father. But will they grow up with a father if we go our separate ways?

I don’t know if this is fixable M. How can you fix us even if we both wanted to.

Yep, it's your fault. You cheated. All bets are off. If you'd been reading M's Cosmo's you'd have known that you should never confess to cheating just to make yourself feel better. Good luck patching up this one. Hopefully you can save it if for no other reason than your girls.
