Table 4 One

As you all know, I’ve been relishing in my single life for a while now and truly enjoying it.   But every now and then, I get a flashback…And this one came completely by surprise. Last Sunday, I was having a conversation with someone I hadn’t seen in a while. We caught up with the usual “how are you” & “how’s the fam” generic questions you ask when you haven’t seen someone in a while. We were just breezing through our lightweight conversation and then he asked about my ex. This wasn’t a surprise because for so long, when you saw him, you saw me.   I gave short yet sweet answers to let him know that I was ok and that I hadn’t talked to him.   Then he asked a question! A question that was completely unexpected. .. “You do know that there isn’t anything wrong with you and that you didn’t do anything wrong right??” I wonder what my face looked like, because I was not expecting him to say that.  As tears streamed down my face, he proceeded to tell me how men h...
