November of 2005 I Started frequenting this Irish Pub down the road from my house, I started taking a liking to a Bartender( we will call her Lori so know one is incriminated) that worked there and my friends new her, she had a boyfriend though(for about 5 yrs), but we still flirted a little bit cause her relationship was on the rocks and she was getting ready to pull the plug....I then said here is my # if it dosen't work out with him call me...She said no #'s right now, I said fair enough....
Ehh!! Why would you give your number to a girl who still had a boyfriend? Even if a relationship is on the rocks. Girls not even out of one and your already setting her up for the next, but to be fair to you JT this happens ALL the time where a guy meets a girl whos in a shakey relationship and there we go thinking its a good idea.... It's not.

1st she said no #'s, then shes asking you for your # ??? Did you ask her why the change of heart? And more importantly why would you give your # to a girl who has a boyfriend despite 'their' situation? Automatically you place yourself as the bad guy by doing that. And I quote "WHEN YOU BREAK UP we will talk more cause it's not appropriate now" Let me ask you this, was it appropriate for you to make the move on her by giving her your # when she didnt ask for it? Was it appropriate when she asked you for your #? The whole time that you talked behind her boyfriends back was that appropriate? You should never under any circumstances begin to flirt, eye, or give your # to a girl whos in a relationship regardless of status. Did you ever stop to think and say OK I like her and all but if her boyfriend finds out is he crazy enough to kill her & me? Or just her? Or just me?

Well that was cool with me since I liked her co-worker I hadn't really gave much thought about her except she was a cool good looking girl, here is were it gets interesting no one knows I like Lori except my friends we all kept it under wraps cause Lori still had a boyfriend and we didn't want to get her and trouble and especially most of her co-workers so that way ther would be no rumors....OK, now as me and my friends converse with Jackie she tells us what a asshole her boyfriend is and he is not the same person he was when they were down in Florida were they had met, he had a real big drug problem and he moved from Conn to Florida since there were really bad influences up here for him so he moved in with some family and was sober, he had met Jackie at work and they hit it off and were together a few years but he never told her about his past addictions to crack and cocaine, so when they decided to move up to Conn, he started visiting with old friends and started using again, so she would tell us stuff here and there and I would try to have good words and advice for her......
JT Rock we are men here the second you say 'really cute', 'we talked', 'we joked' and you repeated "cool good looking girl' those are all signs that somethings happening or is gonna happen especially in a atmosphere where its good times, alcohol helps it out a bit. The second a woman starts talkign to you about her troubles thats just their way of crying out for help! They are hoping someone reaches out and pulls them from there. You became good friends with both eventhough your intations with at least one of them were to be more then friends. The found comfort in you since they didnt find it at home BUT you put yourself there.

She calls me all upset telling me that her boyfriend was wandering the streets for drugs and wanted to talk to me cause she enjoyed our conversations at the bar and my advice...So we became "ONLY FRIENDS" her boyfriend got arrested and is in jail for drugs and stealing 2 cars since,
JT Rock you say Jackie is a mother and if I understood right this guy is the father.... Why on earth would she be crying and wasting her time with him if hes no good for them, as a husband/boyfriend & father? That should tell you that she herself has troubles. IMO anyone regardless of gender who stays in a bad relationship (drugs, violence, abuse any type, unfaithfullness) because they love the other person or anyother lame as excuse you can come up with is IMO not a healthy person and has low selfesteem in the sense that why would you put yourself through moments like that, that you dont need in your life. She should be more worried about raising her son and teaching him some values in life and she def. DOES NOT need a man to teach her son that.

Ehh! crucial mistake..... :( The second you create a secret within a secret that S*** is bound to bite 'you' right in the a**..... Cause 'When the S*** hits the fan' oh! boy!! its gonna get everyone, and even if you try to explain yourself why you kept your relationship under wraps noone will believe you.

I was like OK that was a suprise so I told her goodnite and I left..
S***! JT come on my man..... Your trying to hook up with a girl who still has a man, your fooling yourself into thinking you got a good freinship with Jackie when in reality you keep mentioning her in the 'hook up terms', you say you started getting feeling for her. JT your a grown man you know very damn well that a girl & for that matter even a guy with some liquor in his/her system is bound to do something they probably wouldnt do sober. When she kissed you, you could have said something other than just talking to yourself and saying "OK". Why didn't you say 'Jackie you've been drinking I don't think it was appropriate what you did just go home and we will talk tomorrow' (I take it you kissed her back)
Why?
Cause you knew what your doing? You knew you were gonna be able to hook up with both of them in the end. You might not have planed it but as it unraveled you knew it and you went along with it.

I want to be with Jackie!!! So I call her and tell her how I feel and at 1st she was like I'm your 2nd choice and you are settling with me since I'm not your 1st choice...I had to explain to her that I liked Lori 1st and our friendship just kinda happened in the middle of it all and I had to see it thru with Lori, but I really want you..
Offcourse she feels 2nd choice, thats cause she is...... Although it is not your fault that the timing of both of these relationships interfered with eachother it is your fault for missleading them both.

Well JT there you have it, what I talked about earlier when the S*** hits the fan it gets everyone.

I love Jackie and I miss her she is only the 3rd girl I have ever truly loved and I dont care about her past cause I have one too...I dont care what the girls at the bar think or my friends think she was always a goodfriend and an excellent girlfriend and a superb mother to her child...
I am a total asshole who deserves to feel broken over this I miss her so much and I feel so hurt and remorseful about the things I said to her I never wanted to hurt the one I loved so much.
That folks is my human side and I have Know Idea why I just poured out my heart to the whole world literally..
JT Rock, I'm Mexican-American and in Mexico theres a saying that goes; In the end you'll be left like a dog with either one of the 2 meals this saying goes back to a really old folk story. Anyway it basically says that you were so greedy and only thought of yourself that in the end you were left with nothing. You typed the story in the sense that made it seem like your intetions were good with both but if you read betweeen the lines you can see that you might have started this with good intentions but when you saw another oppourtunity you said ahh! F*** it I can get away with it.
In all honesty I personally don't think you can fix this one right here, because this one got ugly. The second you loose respect for someone in any way, you will do it over and over again. Cause you'll know you can get away with it. One day your gonna get in a arguement and you will bring up the fact that she slepted with that guy you hate, and then in your mind you will picture her with him and it will fucken eat you alive day in and day out.
And please blieve me when I say you dont want that in your life, JT I would highly recommend you cut all connections to either girl I mean start hanging out across town or something. You got any vacations day left, take a few days and get out if you cant afford something big, F*** it the outdoors are a beauty and you don't need much $ to do that.
What do you like to do? Go fishing? Do you play any sports? What kind of education do you have? Enroll in school take some courses, cooking or ceramics. Do you have family? Nieces, nephews cousins? Get involved with them....
JT GOOD LUCK and I know everything will work out for you just keep a positive mind and LOOK FOWARD.
Peace,
CutMeMick
