"You've been going with the wrong women!" said the stripper.
"Tell me about it!" was my reply.
I had been telling her that I would never, ever get married and she said she was the type who would never get divorced. "Once you commit, it's forever" she said (age 20), having just got out of her relationship.
It was the first time I had seen her in 4 months. It was the 8th straight time she asked me to see her but the first time I accepted, so I had some leverage. Although she was as lovely as ever, she has lost the power over me.
She said she is quitting stripping, that she can't stand it anymore, and that she got her bartender license. I was happy for her. She really has grown up in the 9 months I've known her. As you know, I never thought of her as that type, despite what my own eyes saw.
Seeing her was bittersweet. Physically we reuinted but the connection was gone. She didn't seem to notice that I lost 35 lb, but then again she didn't say no either.
She said that (months ago) she wasn't angry as much as she just wanted to get rid of me, but admitted later she missed me and there was a reason she was replying to my messages. She said she would have ignored my messages if she didn't want to get back together, letalone be asking me out. She just doesn't want it as intense as before.
But while I needed to see her one last time, I think it's time to call it a happy ending.
