29. THIS is why I would never consider rekindling my serious relationship with the former

Mon Jun 11, 2012, 06:26 PM

Jun 2012

BF from over 25 years ago who last year friended me on FB. He's gone religious fundie, and is separated (but not divorced of course), and wants to date. Well, dating is fine, but I don't get intimately involved with MARRIED men or FUNDIES or REPUBLICANS (he's all 3).

I don't think he would ever be violent, but I just don't have quite the level of trust that it could never happen.......he can be my friend and we can go to museums and have lunch, but nothing serious.
