Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Should you wait for him when he leaves you for another woman

8 of 19

Good women wait for no man! In my opinion, there is nothing worse than feeling like you are "second choice". Now your man may tell you he is "just trying to figure things out" but I say run for the hills. Once that intimacy of monogamy is gone, there is nothing left. I wouldn't want to be the odd man out.

I am finding that as I grow older, a lot of my friends are starting to panic about being single. Not being one of them, I ponder frequently as to why they are so upset about the possibility that they will remain single.
