How Very Carrie Bradshaw...

I have been pondering relationships for the past couple days... and I promise that this isnt another woe is me post. Or at least its not what I intend it to be. But I have been having some discussions lately with people that know me and know the different circumstances I have been in. I know that everybody has their fair share of weird people...but what do we gain from these people? Are they simply here to guide us down a path for mere experience, that way we know never to do it again?

I have had 3 serious relationships in the past 9 years. That averages out to 3, 3 year relationships...I know I am a serious relationship whore! A serial relationshipist...

But each person has shown me exactly what I DONT want in my future husband. Side note, I love when people ask me what I want in a man...I have no idea what I want but I know EXACTLY what I don't want...

Take my high school boyfriend: He was a complete liar. This boy lied about everything. I am not talking about a typical teenage boy lie, " Hey I am going with my friends to the concert...not some girl" No. Not like that, he lied about what his middle name was. He lied about what kind of car he drove. He would make up things because his life, I am assuming was too boring. All things that did not have a reliable source. Just weird. Case in note... I will never date a liar again.

My CRRRAZY years boyfriend: Serial Cheater, liar, lazy bum. This guy cheats on things like they are going out of style. He is never satisfied with what he has I guess. And he still cheats on his current, live-in girlfriend. His idea of a job was working at a pizza&Chinese delivery place. Last I heard, he doesn't have a job and guess what...stilllll cheating. Case in note...Date someone who's goals in life include a career.

My current Ex: He means well, but he is a chronic partyer. (is that how you spell partyer?or is it partier?) Anyways, He is a good guy but never calmed down. Never. He would work from 6 am to 9 pm, stroll in the house with a 6 pack(half of which were already empty) and proceed to "pick up" around the house. He also never quite grasped the concept of having a child in the house that looked up to his every move. I think we are just better off as friends. Case in note: Never settle for less.

So moral of the story. Exes are exes for a reason. There are certainly people put into our life for a reason. These people are here to guide us to find the right one for us... to show us to never settle for less.
