#15 Strange Love
Love and happiness... something that can make you do wrong, make you do right... Love...
Al Green (1972)
Love is a strange thing. And Al sure got that shit right. Because it can make you do wrong…or make you do right. What is it about love that makes people lose all common sense?
I know a couple in particular who are the definition of strange love. I’ll call them the “Can’t Be’s”.
This couple has dated for about three years. The guy I like to refer to as Can’t Be Faithful. No single phrase can sum him up better than that. The boy just cannot be faithful if his life depended on it. And who knows, as crazy as this chick is, it just might be…And the chick? I call her Can’t Be Pleased. Nothing and I mean NOTHING is good enough for this diva. This chick, in my opinion, is only moderately attractive. You know what I like in a woman, and she doesn’t have those qualities. Other men may find her attractive, though. Nonetheless, she walks around as if she is god’s gift to men. Moody. Conceited. Shallow. A prima donna in every sense of the word. What physical beauty she does have is overshadowed by her inner ugliness. Maybe it’s her defense mechanism for being dicked over by men in the past. Shit, to be THAT bitter she must have had the worst luck EVER with men.
Honestly, I think they both are severely insecure. But instead of confiding in each other, they seek external consolation. Can’t Be Faithful has always kept a sex partner on the side in all of the relationships he’s been in. This is the most serious he’s been in. As absurd as this may sound, I believe that he truly does love this woman. Fear of commitment is his problem. They’ve been through a lot and the emotional attachment is there. Not to mention an attachment to her child. Yup, she hooked him with Child Crack. Imagine the emotional confliction of leaving a relationship/sowing your wild oats, but leaving this child without the only paternal image it’s ever known; Or staying with an overbearing, petulant bitch. Sucks to be him…I guess the only solution he’s found IS to continue his womanizing ways.
Can’t Be Pleased knows of his playboy behavior. Yet, turns a blind eye to it. I guess loneliness gets to us all. And instead of being lonely, she chooses to live in a fantasy. She gets his money, and occasionally his dick. That makes everything right in the world. I personally don’t see how this lie can be perpetuated much longer. Things will reach a crescendo. The outcome won’t be pretty. Can’t Be Faithful is going to walk in on Can’t Be Pleased getting the grade-A fucking of her life. A lot of feelings are going to get hurt. All because of one more CAN’T. They Can’t leave each other.
Strange love? Definitely. But think about it, you probably know some people just like them. Hell, you may be just like one of them. If so, check yourself. Change your ways. Wizen up. People out here are making poor decisions and it’s got to stop.
As badly as I desire for love, it couldn’t be in the form that this relationship has taken. I refuse to be involved with a woman who is out sleeping around on me. I refuse to be with a woman whose personality makes my want to upchuck. No amount of love would make me lose my common sense.
