I wonder if it is just me. Aren't guys supposed to be the womaniser/philanderer/playboy when it comes to affairs of the heart? You see or hear of this a lot in movies, books and other forms of literature. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl falls in love. Boy meets another. Boy dumps girl A for girl B (or for some, dates both of them). That standard fare ain't it?

My own relations seem to dictate otherwise. I use relation in the sense of me and my friends. For some reason, I feel like I know more guys getting dumped by girls or getting their hearts trampled on by the fairer sex. I'm just blogging this because I just found out a couple that I've always known as a couple have split up. I can't name names...but suffice to say, they've been together for a period of time that I can't imagine. The cause? A long distance relationship that was going on fine until... the girl met another guy who she has a good feel with (on an emotional level, not physical...as far as I know). He found out, quite by accident, they talked and decided to break up. It seems they are still on good terms with each other, and I'm sincerely hoping they get back together... don't know why, but they just make a good couple.

Thats just the latest event that led me to blog this. Another super long relationship that I know of (lets say... at LEAST 6-8 yrs) also broke off. Why? Because the girl had a wandering eye for some guy at her company (same thing happened for the above. Man... how come I can't find love at the workplace?!?) I'm not sure of the details... but I think she was cheating on him both physically n emotionally. THINK being the operative word. He found out partly by accident and thorough some dubious and illegal means (think of phone tapping, phone network hacking. very CIA stuff ^_^) He isn't too proud of himself, but at least he does it with style :p

oh. in case u'r wondering. these blokes are pretty cool. good to their gf's. take care of them. all that jazz. definitely didn't do anything that 'deserved' dumping. unlike me ^_^

Yet again, the girl was at fault. I'm pretty sure I know another 2 or 3 relationships that are similar, but can't recall them for some reason. Even Jacq found another guy relatively quick after breaking it off with me. Althought that point isn't entirely true to the topic of this post, and its also due to my own inability to meet other girls (attributed to my unwillingness to socialise as well. vicious cycle. my favourite phrase)

Anyhoo...enough of this. Getting me down thinking of relationships and the lack of it in my own life. Just a note, the 2nd friend I mentioned got back together with the girl. Decided to forgive and forget. See! Such a big hearted person. Women = Evil. Meh
