I've noticed lately that a bunch of folks from the efnet IRC channel #advice have been checking out my column lately. I'm very pleased about this, and would like to say a special hello. Ummm, hello.

Hey LadyJ,
I had previously written to you before (see Oct. 3 - Baggage). Well, I didn't quite take your advice (blinded by love) and I've been dating the same girl for a year now and remain very much in love. Though, she graduated from college and I have another year left. We are now in different cities, separated by 300 miles. She claims that after a lot of dating experience, she can make the conscious decision that I'm the one for her for eternal bliss. Therefore, she has no interest in dating other people during our separation. I, on the other hand, have been interested in getting together with someone else on the side. I can't tell my girlfriend that I have another lust interest. It would crush her, and most certainly lead to our demise. I also couldn't bear to be without her, yet I want to put my feet in the pool, dating pool that is. Do I take the plunge, or do I remain dry? These thoughts have been swimming in my mind. I would love to hear your input.
Thanks

Let me tell you all the reasons why you are a scumbag.

1. You want to get a little sumthin' sumthin' on the side, without that being a prearranged and okayed situation in the relationship.

2. That, plus the fact that you think the knowledge of this action would be what would crush her. How about the actual fact that you would do such a thing?

3. You're thinking of doing this despite the fact that (as we discussed in the Oct. 3 issue), she has been in bad, abusive relationships with other men. The fact that you'd do something so wrong to her even after knowing that makes you scummy beyond measure.

I stand by what I said the first time. She seeks out this type of man. She wants a scumbag and she's got one. You two should be very happy together, making one another miserable. I am not even going to waste my time advising you, because it's obvious that you are not going to listen to me anyway. Do whatever you like, but do us all a favor, don't procreate. It would suck to have another generation of your combined psychoses running around.


Born and raised in NYC, LadyJ developed a quick wit and an acid tongue to entertain her friends, and cut down those foolish enough to oppose her.

This abrasiveness earned her a reputation as a heartless bitch in some circles, but those closest to her still believe she has a great capacity for understanding and caring, and a talent for advice.

On this website, LadyJ offers herself both to help those who ask her advice, and to entertain those who find her humorous. Those who fall into neither category are leftovers, and we all know that no one likes leftovers.

So, if you have a problem that you need help with, and the courage to accept her advice...

Ask LadyJ!
