How can I handle this????

layin low but staying high
I just got a text from my wife's best friend. She saw me on a date with DS II, and wants me to tell my wife that I'm dating. She didn't ask why or how I was dating a college student.

We are separated so it's not the same kind of issue that this would've been a couple years ago. But still my wife and I are in the middle of a lot of financial transactions and she can make my life a lot more of a hell than she already does if she hears this. I just need to avoid the turmoil of this coming out right now if at all possible. Once the money is all dealt with completely I don't care but it's not nearly done yet."

I can't think of any good reason why I would be out to dinner with a gorgeous 20 something woman. We didn't kiss at dinner, and I don't think we held hands. But we weren't exactly discussing business either.

Her message suggests she is pretty sure this was a date but she's not positive. Can anybody think of a good excuse besides the truth?

You understand that your wife's friend thinks she witnessed a date, but you consider it just a meal out with a female. If your wife's friend feels the need to inject her own perspective on what she witnessed - it's up to her to tell your wife.

“If it doesn't fit; you must acquit”.

You can just say it is a young lady whom you struck up a conversation w/ at a Starbucks (she was studying there and had books and you inquired at to her field of study and it was X) – you then shared w/ her you are a lawyer and she says she's been considering law-school but she doesn't know if she's cut out for it. You are mentoring her and sharing your experience and one night while at Starbucks while you were talking w/ her and giving her advice you both got hungry and you invited her to a nice meal especially with her being a struggling college student.

It's not really your wife's friends business what you were doing out and about with a 20 something year old woman. If it's a man instead of a woman she doesn't say shit. Anything she says is speculation and unless you were making out or fondling her in the middle of the restaurant all evidence that you were on a date is circumstantial.

Seriously...I've had dates with my g/f's and never been called out, but to choose between my dates and my wife?? It's just Karma and that's the way it goes!! My wife would be better off without me anyway. I think JS69 is in the same boat.

Could you have a niece not on your wife's side? I suspect you are in corporate law and not apt to be courting a client, but that may work. The other option is say to your wife's friend that it's nothing serious and at this point in the proceedings it will only complicate what is going quite smoothly. You're a lawyer; you know how to lie.

If you are legally separated it is none of your ex wife's or her GF's business what you do. When I was in mandatory mediation with my wife, she tried to bring up my indiscretions and the mediator told her that it was not an issue. And it was a female mediator.

Don't tell her it was a date – just tell her she was a hooker :)

But seriously – if you are separated perhaps it cannot be used against you – I assume separated people date all the time – sure the wife can be upset and use it against you; but hopefully you both agree that the marriage is over and what each of you do w/ your personal lives is each one's business.

BTW – as others have said – your wife's friend should really butt out and not stick her nose where it doesn't belong.

"It wasn't a date."

Nothing else. No bullshit stories, no elaborate lies.

She'll either tell your wife or won't. The fact that she texted you means she is conflicted. Keep it simple and she'll keep not being sure which is the best way to keep her out of it.

Any response that you make other than tell her to mind her own fucking business would be a mistake. If it comes up with your soon to be ex just ask her why her friend is in your business and why she did not come over to your table and say hello. That will disarm her accusations and the need for any further explanation . Than drop it , change the subject if she persists just say that its ridiculous for you to discuss it any further. Sounds to me like your ex's BFF is a trouble maker and you should just point that out, not act all guilty and childish by making excuses.

jester's simple idea is probably best, but may not fly. The friend can say :then who was she" and you have to build on the story.

Try this - I was meeting a male colleague who backed out after i arrived. Saw this girl in the bar/lobby/by herself at a table and she seemed to be down in the dumps. To not eat alone and to help a stranger in distress, I invited her to join me.

Mentoring sounds like a good story. A client's daughter is thinking about law school and wanted to pick your brains about it.

I don't know what area of law you practice, but maybe you could just say it was a business dinner, which, for all intents and purposes, it was; just let them draw their own conclusions about who she was, along with the notion that, well, you're a lawyer, so anything involving that dinner is probably going to be confidential.

Is your wife's friend hot? If she is you should take another approach! Just say: "She's a stripper I've been paying for sex! It would be just brilliant if you could join us for a threesome! I pay a lot for good sex! What do you think about that?"

If she's not hot go with jester214's response!

Wow, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? And why do you always preface your comments by telling us how long you've been a fucking divorce attorney, as if that means that your opinions on anything other than divorce law have some type of special credibility. I've been a lawyer as long as you have, but I don't feel the need to waive it in everybody's face all the time.

I think this was the perfect group to ask my question. My question was not a legal question. Instead, it was a question about how to best lie to cover up the fact that I'm having sex with a stripper. I can't think of a better group to ask that question of. And the answers I got were a lot better than what my lawyer would have told me ( after he got done laughing about the fact that I would pay him to ask a professional such a question).

As for it all being bullshit, this seems like a strange thread in which to make that tiring allegation. I understand if you want to claim that I'm lying when I say that a strippers mom wants to date me, or that I saw a midget shot guy. But being spotted in a restaurant in my home town at dinner with a stripper is not implausible in the slightest.

I understand skepticism regarding the stories on here! Indeed, given my abject failure to secure ITC on my first try (I've done escorts in the distant past but never ITC) I wonder how many of the brilliantly crazy stories are true!

But I figure some are and I might as well treat them as true! I'm even treating the idea of a suit-wearing lion that owns an AK and dates JohnSmith69's DS as true! Though I still wonder how he gets around the trigger guard with his fat lion paws! ;)

John,

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Let your wife bring it up to you. Because if you start to tell lies and what not. You don't want to get into it.

If your wife (ex-wife) doesn't bring it up.... forget about it. If she does bring it up just tell her you took a friend out to dinner. If she starts to ask more questions... tell her, "I thought you didn't want to know this type of things?"..... that should shut her up right there. If it doesn't shut her up go with any story you want. But business associate or potential client or customer is something that would work as well.

If he says he's mentoring her, or that she isn't sure about law school and wanted to pick your brain, the wife WILL be skeptical and may think they are fucking or will eventually fuck her. She will wonder why he, according to him, took her the best place in town for what was probably a dinner, instead of to a business lunch.

Say she was an important client or that she works with you. Who cares if she's young, you can theoretically be an attorney by 25 or so, and one can be a paralegal, assistant, or law clerk before that.

I don't know what kind of law you practice or how much she knows about your firm, your practice, your work schedule, etc. But any good lawyer will be able to think on their feet and say whatever they need or make up any scenario that fits and gets the heat off them.

I had a similar situation a few years back. I was in a relationship, and one of my GF's good friends texted me saying she saw me grocery shopping with another girl. Of course she told my girlfriend without letting me explain. These women SMH.

Mentoring sounds like a good idea, that would make sense. There's a lot of people that's unsure of law school, and they go meet with lawyers for advice.

I believe JS's stories, if they're not true, at least they're entertaining. A lot better than the garbage that is posted here on the regular.

You know her better than we do. In general it's best not to admit anything.

It sounds like she didn't assume prostitute. That's good. You may be able to make a joke along the lines of "I wish it was a date!" Since you're a lawyer you can legitimately say "it was work related but I unfortunately can't talk about it"

I'm not sure if you live in some ass backwards redneck state where fucking someone else before the ink dries can screw you over. But is it really so awful if you were dating? I mean, that is what people do after a divorce.

As a retard, I want to know why anyone would ask an attorney? Especially one of 33 years? Attorneys don't answer questions they just reference circular arguemwnts. Law is not black and white because judges use to be lawyers and don't want it black and white.

If you have been an attorney for 33 years you must be way below average. At 33 years, if you were good you would have had more than enough money to retire before now. Practicing family law is a license to steal. Wouldn't take me 33 years to do it either.

Yes, I see jester214's post. It makes sense, "It wasn't a date." You need to deal with women like that. Just stand your ground and stick to your story. Any other way only multiplies the negative emotions and pain.

You were the one before who said you don't club or OTC in your home town. Need to continue to keep it that way, at least for a while.

Honest question--if you are legally separated, why does it matter if you are dating? If you are separated and both parties agreed to it, why is it her business? Is it possible the best friend doesn't know you are separated or has been lead to believe you are thinking of reconciling? Best friends will always tell. That's just the way it is, with us chicks.

I explained in the post why this matters despite my separation. We have a lot of monetary transactions yet to be completed (in other words, she has partial control of money and assets that will ultimately be mine), and if she gets all emotional about me dating women who are younger than her when we got married, then she could make it much it much harder and more expensive for me to get control of that money and assets. I need to keep things as civil as possible for a few more months (as hard as that is to do) unless our financial dealings with one another are completely severed. So this is not her business, but if she chooses to try and make it her business it could make my life much more complicated. I want an uncomplicated life where I just get high, fuck strippers, criticize Dougster, and shoot lions who claim to have sex with my dream strippers. The best friend knows that we are separated, and FP is probably right that best friends always tell.

In a perverse way, I kind of want her to know that I'm fucking a young 20ish year old. That'll teach her to refuse the simple sexual requests of her loving husband. If she refuses, I'll switch to this one who never has, and never will, say no. Not to any request. It's always yes John. And all men have this option. You just need to understand strippers.

Or even better, I want her to suspect that I'm probably fucking a 20 year old, but not be sure how in the world the husband that she knows and hates could possibly land such an awesome woman. She will be trying to figure it out all of the time, thinking about me fucking a 20 year old college student day after day. I'm sure the friend will tell her how gorgeous the woman was that I was with. A 9.5 easily, with a low cut top that I was staring at throughout dinner with her permission. My dancer is what all of these middle aged plus women wants to be but never was and never can be -- a gorgeous knockout that every heterosexual male lusts for.

Note, this last post was written just as the weed kicked in. Hopefully this thread is dead and nobody will read this. If not, I'm sorry. The little head wrote this.

I say that JohnSmith69 is right. You want to minimize pain for the ex and for yourself, sticking to a 'not a date' story. Separated or not, there are still things to be settled and just no reason to rub any salt in any wounds. Best just to conceal and stick to the story.

Ideally there can be some sort of a peace treaty with the ex, after all the dust is settled.

And getting high is not what is needed at this time, or at any other time either.

JS69, how big were the bathtubs you used with the DS, like 90 gallons and 72"x42", or more like 148 gallons and 72"x 60", or were they more the corner type?

Weed may appear to make people non-adversarial, but in fact it makes people adversarial towards anyone who doesn't live by denial. So weed makes people much more adversarial, even crazy.

Okay, now I understand what you mean by Blue Pill.

I think it is best to be able to be flexible and to see things from multiple vantage points at the same time.

I think posturing should be limited. The Alpha Male stuff that the Pick Up Artists put out is nonsense, total bullshit, comical. It is only posturing.

I work to have real world victories. Often these are political. I don't just act cocky to impress women. But nor do I let them define me as some sort of money making machine.

I think also it is important to understand that women, to a large degree, still want to be provided for. Though this may not happen and may not even be possible, there is nothing wrong with them wanting this.

I think we all have been denied standing in this world. But because we are so brainwashed by the self-reliance ethic, we don't join political forces and stand up for ourselves or do anything to restore our social and civil standing.

I would like to see this change.

JS69, Still curious to know how much a large bathtub is good for, versus when you need a small hot tub. Related is how much water these take, whether it is coming from the water heater, or if you need heavy additional electric heating to make it work.
