I can't seem to lose much weight.
I'll never be skinny.
I go to the gym 5 times a week for half an hour and sweat bullets on the treadmill while watching VH1.
Damn celebrities keep getting smaller, while I'm still a size 10.
(A size 8 on a good day.)
Okay, so my face is a bit more angular, and my waistline is smaller, but damn if i can lose weight in my fat ass.
Thank god Adonis loves my KOLA. (Greek for "Ass").
He's definitely an ass man.
******
I have a question for the men out there.
When a man checks out a woman, and she's not his girlfriend, how often is he thinking to himself, "I'd really like a piece of that" ?
Or is he merely appreciating her beauty from a distance?
I was told that men think about sex every...what was it....12 seconds?
Fortunately, Adonis does not oggle. He's more of a glancer. Mind you they aren't always quick glances.
It used to bother me. Until I met other women who were dating or married to greek men and they all told me the same thing. "GET USED TO IT".
But it's not just a Greek male thing. It's a MALE thing.
I'm not sure that I ever will get used to it. But I've come to accept that men are visual creatures. And as long as Adonis honors the "Look but Don't trust" policy, I'm okay with it.
Sometimes I check the women out with him. It's sort of a game we play.
He doesn't like it when I check out other men. I do this to drive my point home sometimes.
Sometimes it's the only way I can get him to understand how it feels being on the receiving end. It's usually very effective because he is someone who is generally sensitive to other people's feelings.
Fortunately, when it came to the bachelor party his friends told me they were planning on having for Adonis, I didn't have to use that tactic when convincing him I was not comfortable with the idea and why. I didn't even have to say to him, "How would YOU feel if my friends wanted to take me to a Male Revue?" He already knew.
They wanted to rent him a limousine and take him "out". They did not elaborate except to say that they were taking him for drinks and dinner.
Well, I wasn't born yesterday. I've been around the block a few times.
I asked them if they planned on taking him to a strip club. They did not deny it. They just smiled. (Again, my past coming back to haunt me. The knowledge I have in me of what goes on inside these places....well you can understand my reaction.)
I hated the fact that I had to be the woman to spoil the "fun", and ruin the "surprise" but damn if I could keep my feelings a secret from the man I love.
I ended up telling him everything, and judging by the look in my eyes, and the expression on my face, and the flailing arms as I relayed this to him, he knew what he had to do.
"NO bachelor party. I will tell them immediately."
He didn't seem to like the idea any more than I did.
"Bachelor Parties are bullshit. They don't do this in Greece."
Even though he was already on my side, I felt the need to explain that it's not HIM that I don't trust, it's the "situation", his "friends".
And that's the truth.
You get 12 guys together for a bachelor party (which in my opinion is just an excuse for men to behave badly), you get the drinks flowing, you get the groom to a strip club, and it would be.....
"Dangerous." Adonis had finished the sentence for me.
At least he was honest. He knows himself, and he knows his friends. And he doesn't want to be in that situation, any more than I want him to be.
The last thing i want is for him to do something he's going to regret.
Indeed.
I know how easy it is for married men to be tempted to stray from their wives. Let alone for a drunk groom to be to end up in the CHAMPAGNE Room at scores.
Also, Adonis is not someone who can say no to his friends easily. There would be a great deal of pressure on him to have a lap dance, and then disappear into one of the back rooms to receive a present from his buddies, the obligatory Blow Job.
NO WAY JOSE.
So there will be no bachelor party.
The guys are taking him out for drinks and dinner.
I will have the same with my girls.
And we are all meeting up later on to celebrate.
And that's the way it should be.
ANd I love him all the more because he didn't even hesitate.
When I told him I was nervous about seeing his friends again, after the ordeal, he told me "Fuck them if they don't like it, you're with me."
If Adonis really wants to go to a strip club, we'll go together. I'm not opposed to the idea of going. It's the situation.
But Adonis doesn't like strip clubs, thinks they're"bullshit". A waist of money. "Why spend all that money looking at naked women when you can stay at home and play jerk off." Or, in his case, fuck ME, which he does pretty much daily.
We have a great sex life.
I am amazed by how good it is.
I was always afraid it would dwindle. lessen. Be less passionate than the first few months.
But it gets better, stronger, and for the first time in my life it means something.
I never thought it was possible.
Life is full of surprises.
Love Rose

YESTERDAY - TOMORROW
