Ego boost - HN #2

I ran into an acquaintance today that I went to college with ten years ago. Back then we had a kind of competitive friendship where we used to sort of tease and pick on each other like brothers and sisters do. In the course of our conversation I said something about my kids being away for the weekend and then had to explain that ex and I are divorced/sharing custody, etc. Well, this acquaintance said that he had no idea that I was divorced. I joked, "Well it's not like I bought a billboard to announce it to the world." He joked back, "Why not? You could walk around with a sign on your ass to let the men know that you're single." I responded by saying that I am enjoying my singleness. We went on to talk about mutal "old" friends and what they are up to etc.

But I guess my point is that he indirectly made me feel like there are plenty of men around that would love to know that I'm no longer married.

That is an ego boost for sure.

And what a fun banter/conversation with your friend - I love ones like that!

That's sounds great...

Any excuse to look at your behind. LOL. Like I could put.. "Single Mother of 5... yes 5" on my behind. (that's an inside joke since when I first came to this board, I was afraid to tell guys about having kids.)

thanks for the smile.
