A Horse in Zebra Striped Pajamas

I saw a zebra one day.....
It may have been a horse in its pajamas....
But I'm pretty sure it was a zebra...
Tough to find zebra-striped pajamas in that size.

During the winter of 2000, I met a man, and we quickly fell in love. I was married, he was married...everything was new. Alas, it lasted only a few months until I ended it, came clean to my husband, and made a resolution to save my marriage.

Fast-forward seven years. I have been divorced coming on four years in April. Married man is still.....MARRIED. And under the false pretense that he is still in love with me.

I keep him at arms length...allow him to see me three or four times a year. He is a great guy, but we are polar-opposites. We would never fit into each other's lives. I provide a great distraction from his 250 pound wife who is always in a bad mood and stopped giving him oral sex in 1993.

But, alas, he is the V.P. of a Fortune 500 company and a local politician, and I am a free spirited Kinky Catholic Lawyer.

Here are excerpts from a recent conversation between Kinky Catholic Lawyer (KCL) and Married Man (MM)

MM: I'm leaving my wife soon, so we can run away together.
KCL: You are NEVER leaving...you have been saying this every six months or so for the last eight years
MM: No, really, this time I'm leaving. WE are going to run away together and I'm going to take care of you until you grow old.
KCL: I don't WANT you to take care of me. MM, you can get any woman you want. You make more money than GOD, you are gorgeous...once you leave your wife, which I know you never will, go find a malleable 20 year old hottie who you can mold.
MM: But I want you.
KCL: You do not really want me, you want an idealized image of me.
MM: No, I want you
KCL: We'd never fit into each others lives.
MM: Yes we would
KCL: Your image is so important to you, and I will NEVER adopt societal norms.
MM: I love you anyway
KCL: No, you do not love me, you just love the idea of me.
MM: No, I love you. Plus, KCL, you are a lawyer now. Like it or not you need to grow up and start worrying about societal norms
KCL: I'm not changing. And we are not getting into this again!


On another front, last month I met a man, Photographer, who I do feel could be woven in quite nicely to the tapestry of my life. He actually reminds me a lot of myself. I still can't figure out what turns me on more, the way he kisses me or the way it feels when our thoughts collide.

Time shall tell though whether he is a zebra, or a horse in zebra pajamas.
