Over the past year I've witnessed one of my old students from many years ago go though an affair with an old boyfriend from when they were 16.

She blatantly left her husband for him on the whim of a memory. He was a long haired metal rocker back then. Now he is an unemployed, on disability because he had a leg amputated with 2 kids.

She has discovered he grew up. Not the same party person from back then. She wants excitement, has 3 kids and no job.

They moved in together after a year, lasted a month before he couldn't take her drinking and behavior any longer and tossed her out even though she is hot as Jessica Rabbit.

She has been whining about being rejected for weeks. I gave her one bit of advice.

The people of now are not the people of then. Trying to force a now person to be a then person is like trying to stuff a crab in your pocket. It's frustrating and you'll wind up getting pinched.

I am convinced there's a certain category/quality of person who just isn't capable of establishing mature boundaries and exhibiting rational behavior.

And our society today has devolved to the point where this type of behavior is accepted and sometimes even applauded.

If only there were a way we could separate the immoral and valueless from those who don't buy into that cr@p.

I'm just enjoying watching her implosion because she really is clueless. She plays herself off as the victim just as my exwife does.

It seems I read in the Bible somewhere that we aren't to relish in other people's falls, so that's something I try to guard myself against, but on the other hand, they do seem to be their own undoing.

I have zero interest in said insane chick with three small children that lives 200 miles away.

She is whining on FB.

I just enjoy watching a sense of entitlement circle the drain in flames. Her husband was no prize either. She married him because of what he looked like without factoring in the rest. She also has a real problem with alcohol that no matter how hot she is, any man won't put up with hence the one legged, no working, fat bald OM kicked her to the curb.

Now just why ain't I runnin off to go get me some of that?
