'Life is to short.Have an affair.'

I couldn't believe this when I read it.I really did do a double take.
I thought it was some of sick joke,a caption with small text beneath it highlighting the potential life threatening sexually transmitted disease that linger with such a terrible ordeal.-What is the world coming to,what have I missed here?
It seems like in a short space of time,everywhere I look I see something suggesting pro-affair advise,websites,advise columns,adverts,couples with thumbs up winking-celebrities claiming to do it-celebrities getting caught doing it,why is it suddenly more apparent-or,moreover,why is it softening in the media eye?Why are we now encouraged to think that it's something probably,likely-above all human,something that will do us good in the long run-perhaps even strengthen a current relationship or marriage,now,call me old fashioned.And,I know I'm young.I am not married,I have not been much close,I haven't really been with someone longer than two years,and for me the novelty of being happy with someone hasn't worn off,shows no signs wearing off and probably won't wear off.I can't think of anything more heartbreaking or soul destroying to find out that the man I loved was having an affair.Is this really a normal thing?Or is it just a celeb trend?People who get more bored easily and don't really want to commit work there ways into advise columns,saying it's natural-that humans aren't monogamous creatures...but somehow,it just doesn't bode well with me.
I don't understand it,and I don't think I want to either.
Maybe it's an arrangement thing.I don't know.But either way,it shocked me that adultery is advertised as being a positive thing.But then,times are-a changin'.I think I shall remain a bit more traditional in that respect.

I don't usually get so up in arms about things,and I suppose because I haven't lived a very long life maybe it'll be something I understand more as I get older.I always thought though,that people who did cheat on each other were people who were sad and unhappy but were afraid to leave the merely comfortable relationship.As if the affair's a cry for help.Maybe that isn't the case.
Either way,i'd be deeply deeply upset if it happened to me.

Anyway!that's enough of that.I needed to get it off my chest.

I miss Joe so much.And it's been one day!for crying out loud.
Every day for the past couple of weeks I just feel so isolated and inadequate and confused.Joe makes that all go away,he brings me back to life again.

Ah well.
Another day down.
