Almost everything encountered here is illusion... some done well... some not so..... every once in a while something happens and we get a peek behind the curtain....
I was talking to a buddy earlier today that was all bent out of shape from something that happened over the weekend.......
He has been seeing a gal weekly for 3-4 months..... Has PMs, texted and emailed her at times... some session related other times just a little chit chat and flirting to build up to the next session.....
She's laying in bed sleeping as he gets dressed and ready to leave....He takes his phone out and sends her a short little message thanking her for the amazing time and telling her how much he enjoyed being with her and looked forward to the next time.....
basking in the after glow he heads to the door and his phone lights up and it's "her".... with the normal warm response that always makes him feel so special....
He turns around.... She's still asleep and her phone is on the nightstand..... He walks over and sends "her" another message.... phone lights up showing it received and then a message from "her" to him appears on his phone and hers as well.....
As he comes to realize someone is sitting somewhere using software to send and receive texts from her phone her phone light up with a new message... telling her that her next appointment had rescheduled but he had filled the spot and who to expect/how much to collect.... Message is accompanied by a pic of the sender and of course it's a guy....
So.... I understand the way he feels and even his reaction which was to go off on the whore, waking her up and chewing her ass for the deception.... I think I would have handled it differently....
Reality is... Up till that moment he was caught up in the illusion and is more butt hurt over all the lovey-dovey messages he exchanged with a guy that looks more like Seal then the lady that has rocked his world for 4 months....
Outside of his embarrassment though..... he got everything he paid for and more....
What would you do if your bubble was burst in a manner like this?
