HI!!
Benny here
I have fallen upon an awkward situation in which my brain will not tell me what to do
i will try and keep it simple
ok, so about 2 years ago now i split with my ex whom i have an amazing son with.
life has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster since this happened (though was to no surprise that it did)
i got heavily into drinking and smoking etc. I found my self at an extremely low point.
at the same time i began sleeping with this girl whom i have known for a long time and sort of had a casual thing going between my significant relationships
that relationship between us has since evolved into something that enither one of us understand what it is
she is awesome, she does allot for me but at the same time i do not feel the attractions that she feels
now days, being in the bedroom consists of me doing what i have to do to get her to where she needs to be then me rolling over saying i am too tired or too drunk etc.
we ahve a really good friendship.
enter blondy
ok, so i have been living i a small place i the back yard of my land lord
a bit of a 2 bed room run down flat if you will
i have been there for a year and recently decided financially it would benefit me to sign another year on the lease
A big part of the problem here is i have never felt the place fit enough to house my son. so when i have him i am always having to take him to my mothers or my sisters (im and his cousin are the best of friends though)
so it has gotten to a point where i have decided to rennovate this place my self (land lord has agreed)
so i begin with cleaning everything. long story short, on night last week i was listening to my music while going through old clothes and clearing out the spare bedroom getting it ready for my son
so i was pretty drunk and had smoked a joint or two. so was not really in talking mode or any of that, looking scruffy and un clean etc.
when out of the blue this stunning blond happened upon my door
cautiously i opened the door. she said she was my land lords friend, she could hear my music and wanted to come down and have a drink and a listen
well i got paranoid and scared as hell (why is beyond me) but at the time i figured she was lying and she was sent there byt the people who loiter over my back fence in a car park. paranoia to the max. i eventually asked her to leave
found out how ever she was infact my land lords friend and i was being really stoopid.
my land lord eventually upon blondys request asked me if she wa sok to give blondy my number
I said absolutely (not even a second of thought)
we began talking 2 nights ago and seem to have allot in common. I mean more than any one i have ever known apart from my best friend and hetero life partner.
now we are going out for drinks in a week
so the question here is this
what the hell am i supposed to do
as much as i hate my sons mother, i would drop everything if she said lets get back together
casual girl has not been able to do enough to get that out of my mind
at the same time if i stay with casual girl then i will for ever feel like i am cheating my self as being a part of a "that'll do" relationship
then if i go down the risky path and go after blondy do I risk losing a good friend but have some one amazing enough to make me completely forget about my ex.
I am extremely confused on what i should do here
morals tell me to cease talking to blondy and stick with casual girl (i do not want to hurt her, i do cvare about her but feel incomplete)
happiness and the old fire that used to burn in me tells me chase blondy, she seems fun, extremely pleasant and is well, probably well out of my league
no amount of alcohol makes this decision easier lol.
any tips?
My dad has taught me to never give advice, only opinions.
look forward to hearing if any ideas are available.
thanks.
