Put a ring on it

What is it about getting engaged?  This changed status is enough to drive everyone in (at least) a 100 mile radius into a full fledged tizzy.  Parents and best girlfriends aside, it is an occassion that can bring out the crazy in anyone.  Including boyfriends of yore.  Like way yore.  This simple change in status doesn't just turn the engaged woman into a bridezilla (I have yet to even set a date and I'm a good month into my engagement). 
Immediately following my announcement things were fairly quiet.  No weird calls or texts or emails.  And then the ceiling fell out.  I have had relatively few significant relationships in my life.  A college boyfriend whom I am still friends with.  A law school professor who was completely insane.  And a closet loser that still sleeps on his mom's couch (with a near Ivy League college degree, an MBA and a JD).

Then, weeks after my engagement, people have come out of the woodwork.  People whom I haven't spoken to in months if not years feel the need to contact me.  The professor sent me a text to compliment my rack and tell me I should seek employment at a strip club.  When I didn't recognize the number and inquired who would be so rude, he feigned to be deeply hurt. Did I mention this guy got married himself about two months ago?  For the third time?  And he's under 40?  And told me that in his mind we were never really a couple?

The closet loser just informed me he might move to Williston, N.D. (look it up).  This was a second contact for him.  The first apparently wasn't satisfying enough--when he contacted me to find out if we were really that bad of a couple and then told me he wasn't ready to talk to me yet--too distraught to find out I was getting married (which he knew).  Nevermind the fact I'd asked him to stop contacting me altogether a year ago.

What is wrong with people?  Why do those that were keen to forget you suddently need to know if you've kept their number in your phone?

Meme of the day

Here at Casual Glamour, things have been a little less than wonderful on the love front.  This is an  affirmation all of us (it works for any gender combination) should repeat daily.
