Search Results: dating two people at once

Just trying to get some opinions from other people, as im sort of in a sticky situation now, since somehow I ended up dating two people at once, which was a horrible idea (I KNOW!)--it wasn't planned, and the timing was just atrocious but I just couldnt pass up the opportunity to see if it could work between an ex and I that I've always wished I could have another chance with; and at the same time as things with an ex go, I was insecure it would actually work this time around, so selfishly I didn't break up with the guy I had started seeing before my ex came back in the picture out of fear that my ex would do all the same things that made us break up before. I figured id probably get my ex out of system, see he was the same and then be happy with the guy i was seeing without all the "what ifs" hanging around in my head that put a damper on any new relationship I was in. But unfortunately--or fortunately depending on how you look at it--my ex had changed a lot, grown up a ton and its been a solid two years now, so I think its real personal growth on his end and not just some fleeting attempt to prove to me he's different. But like I said, yes its been 2 years! I've been SUPER slow and guarded in both relationships and have made sure not to allow to get too serious, but i feel the time to make a decision is VERY soon approaching whether I want to make one or not :/

When I was 20 I was going through a lot of crazy, grandiose phases. My judgement is a bit impaired & this was definitely one of my most erratic decisions.

Reason being is because (aside from years of curiosity of how it's really like compared to the media) I was booted from my job at Wal-Mart (I hated it there), & the fact that I had lost my job gave me an excuse to get a "new one," that being stripping.

It's riveting at first, but after a while it declines to where you feel like crap, you're emotionally taxed enough, & you find out the definition of first-world slavery is being treated like an employee as an independent contractor. That's probably the biggest workers' rights issue I picked up from that.

Once my CNA license finally got on the registry, I was able to get a job at a home health place, & stopped stripping.

As far as what I did with my money, I can say this...
-took my little brother to the amusement park for his 16th birthday.
-got my first SmartPhone
-was able to pay for my philanthropy trip to Louisiana, which in turn helped me get to know wholesome people & refresh my track on life.
-pay for 2 college courses that my parents didn't have to pay for & were able to help me graduate on time.

The only person who knows about me stripping is my brother, because I told him in confidence after it was all said & done.
