Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums THE SEX-STARVED MARRIAGE Who will be my Du (dude) enna?

Okay, I have to say that you guys are pretty lame. You've let me babble on about all sorts of animal theory for the past week and nobody's checked in with me about what's actually going on in my sexual/romantic life. Please remember that the fact that I am capable of discussing such matters on a pseudo-intellectual basis does not mean that I am actually an adult who is capable of handling things on her own. I might refer you to certain texts on the topics of gifted child syndrome and adult children of bi-polar parents etc.etc.

Anyways, since it appears that I have to take it upon myself to check in with my babysitters rather than vice versa, I shall offer a bit of an update. Apparently I am in something resembling an exclusive relationship with FSG. He calls me every night and we talk for an hour or two. Since he is a man in Captain-of-Industry mode, I find myself in virtual/pseudo-supportive GF/wife mode. He talks to me about his latest hippo/shark manuevers and I kind of hand him a virtual martini and offer WOA. So, some parts of our convos go kind of like "If this deal goes through, I'm definitely taking you to Mexico." and that's okay with me because the way I figure if I offer a guy emotional or practical support for money making activities what I should get in return is cash or cash equivalents. OTOH, we also joke around very non/semi-sexual monkey quite a bit too- like we have our whole elaborate Nancy Drew mystery thing and other kinds of shared comedic ideas that amuse us. OTOH, our relationship is quite romantic because he says stuff like he is going to sweep me up/down in a kiss/embrace just like that famous end-of-WorldWar2 photo when I arrive at the airport in my floppy 1940s hat plus the "sweet dreams" text messages etc.

So what do you guys think?

Mojo, you crack me up

I say "Enjoy your trip to Mexico " I haven't followed this whole story as I sometimes get a little lost in the zoo trying to keep my guy's wolf and monkey in check Where does this FSG live? I assume in another state because I saw mention somewhere of him flying you in....is that going to work for you?

Ok, I got two little monkeys (not that type of monkey...yet ) wanting breakfast.

I asked when you were going to see this "hippo" as you described him and you never answered me. So there.

And if you haven't seen him in person yet, why are you taking it to this level (talking for hours, making future plans, blah blah). You yourself said you made that mistake before with some of these guys and when you saw them in person there was NO sexual chemistry.

Little sister LFL is just shaking her head waiting to say "I told you so big sis."
Not that I would say that but....you did say you need a little babysitting here.
Be careful, not just physically but emotionally. k?

I agree. This is all fun and everything, but what if you meet him and the physical vibe is all wrong?

How can you be exclusive with someone you haven't met yet?

A short time ago you had more suitors than you could count on your fingers and toes. What happened to all of them?

I remember one guy I met on the internet who sounded perfect. We talked on the phone and it was great. When I met him for lunch I took one look at his mouth and knew I never wanted those big floppy purple lips anywhere near any part of me. He also was rude to the waiter.

Of course, I could be all wrong.

As your big sister, I say you should go have fun but keep it light. Don't get caught in any particular fantasy/ relationship. Check in here and ground yourself from time to time. Your emotions need time to settle down, and the divorce hasn't even come through yet! Now, I must have missed the hippo talk...what's that about?

Thats a new one Journey...and just when I was starting to get a grip on the whole wolf, bunny, bunkey, swankey zoo thing...now we have a hippo and a shark! IC's gonna be pissed because the entire zoo still does not consist of his favorite....the ferret

I'm flying out to visit him for a weekend in a few weeks.



Well, "I" am not the one taking it to this level. I'm just along for the ride. I said that our relationship was semi-exclusive because he keeps signaling that he wants to be exclusive but I haven't agreed. Also, I have been careful to not get too sexually flirtatious with him yet because that was the mistake I made with the guy who ended up looking like Shrek. We have agreed that if there is no sexual chemistry we'll just have a friendly dinner together and I will exchange my ticket for a late night flight back. He cracks me up though because he is absolutely confident that I will find him attractive in person as in "You saw my pictures and I smell good too." His sexual ideal is Anna Nicole Smith just before she got really fat so I'm fairly confident he'll be attracted to me if I wear my Ipex and he squints a little bit to blur out the wrinkles.

I do still have other suitors popping in and out but none of them are as attractive/determined as FSG so I guess I'm operating under the rule of "you snooze you lose".

He just reminds me of a hippo because he's really big and really jolly and really assertive. I would guess that he's on the 8/9 cusp of the enneagram. Maybe after I have sex with him he'll remind me more of a rhino -lol.

Well, clearly the ferret is some kind of dysfunctional wolf/monkey mutation.

LMAO....I'm not sure about the dysfunctional part, but you've pretty much described IC to a "T" He does present a challenge...fortunately, there is a lioness in the house that will swat the ferret around a little every now and then
