I have a friend who was with a girl for about ... 15 years. They met when she was seventeen and he was 20 and were together (off and on, but more on than off) up until just a few years ago. They lived together for about 10 of those years and I can clearly remember when he said something along the lines of, "If I'm going to stay with her I need to marry her. It's not fair to keep stringing her along." That was when they were about 10 years into their relationship.

They'd break up now and again, but it only lasted weeks or maybe a couple of months before they were together again.

I never saw in her what he saw, but then again, we like different types of women. I, for example, need to be around smart women while he has a thing for big-boobed ditzy blondes.

Over the past few years my friend had met another woman, moved in with her, married her and now has two kids with her. It happens, and while he claims he's happier he also complains that none of his friends want to hang out with him anymore (basically, we all can't stand his wife).

Just a few minutes ago I was talking to a mutual friend who said that our friend still went to his ex-girlfriend as his dental-hygienist.

They were together for years, broke up, he married someone else and still sees his long-term ex on a regular basis for teeth cleanings and checkups.

Am I the only one who thinks that's weird?

Robert Wallis I know be trusts her ... with his teeth. But seriously, an ex? Who does that?

Strikes me as unusual but not out of the realm of possibility. My parents divorced in the most acrimonious way possible but now they regularly see each other at family events and are very civil. Obviously every relationship is different but in my human experience it takes more effort to avoid people than just live and let live.

He just can't let go it seems. Maybe a little regret there.

Doesn't seem strange to me. I still go to my ex's yoga classes. She's a good teacher. Why not?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
