One Ugly Weekend

Well, you really did it now Nathan.
Of course, I woke up feeling terrible for the things that I had done to Gretchen. I felt sick to my stomach while I was brushing my teeth. Gretchen was standing close by taking laundry out of the dryer. I felt compelled to say:
"I'm sorry about yesterday..."
I was caught talking to other women online. Nothing serious or scandalous, but I guess that I didn't manually logout of my google e-mail that Gretchen didn't know about.
For the record, the google e-mail address was for my spam signups.
Anyways, Gretchen apparently had been reading conversations that I had with other people.
I did tell one person that I was divorced. Yes, I lied.
I think I just put myself in the role-play position to see how she would respond to that.
Would I be forever marred as that "ewww...he's divorced." guy?
I had to know.
Well, go figure...that's the one conversation she finds.

Needless to say, Gretchen was hurt.

So today, I feel nauseaus. Not because I was actually talking to other people...but because I was caught.
I told her that.

Fortunately, she managed a smile and told me that it was ok. We would work through this.
She's so nice about the whole thing...
