lilfurson's Journal, 28 Sep 11

So I've been slacking pretty hard since I returned from my cruise. Been eating more than I should and more bad food than I should. Also wasn't working out really at all. I'm getting back to it today. I started back up on P90X and although I felt sick and nauseous I made it through the whole Chest & Back routine. Now I just need to keep the motivation going.

Next up...the Super Spartan Race! I competed in the Super Spartan Race on Sept 24th on Staten Island. It was one of the best experiences of my life. It was an 8 mile course with 21 obstacles. Climbing over differing wall heights, 150 feet crawl through mud and water under barbwire and lots and lots of running in mud. I finished in 1:49 which is respectable but could have been so much better if I hadn't had to do 30 burpees each time I failed an obstacle. 90 burpees throughout the course sucked up a good amount of time. I'm already looking forward to the ones next year. Need to focus on getting through those burpees faster. :-)

Finally...life drama. So I've been friends with this girl A for about 7 years now. I actually work with her husband but we were close and we used to work out together. Well I've always liked her sister. Used to flirt with her much to the dismay of my friend A. So her sister was going on the cruise with use and A asked that I didn't flirt with her. I said I would try my best. Well my best isn't very good and we ended up trying to get together as much as possible and actually ended up kissing and holding hands throughout the cruise. A was trying her best to stop us from spending any time near each other to the point of it being crazy. Well I bought the sister some presents and A found out and got really pissed off about it. Pretty much ruined the last 4 days of the vacation for her. We didn't talk for about a week but I felt I needed to at least apologize for ruining her vacation and going against her wishes. Well things started off good until I told her that I had feelings for her sister which is when she started getting more upset. Then she asked if we did anything and I was honest and said we kissed. Well that was the last straw and now she no longer wants to be friends. She also told her sister that she never wants to talk to her again. I can completely understand her being made at me for betraying her trust but there has to be more deep-seated issues for her to tell her sister to never talk to her again. I feel bad to have put her sister and my friend I work with in a bad position but I did what I thought would make me happy. Ugh...dating/relationships are such a PITA. Kinda kills my whole mood and makes me not feel like dating whatsoever. Always seems like the ones I want never work out.

So that's about it for now. :-)

the Super Spartan Race sounds very similar to the Warrior Dash that we have here. I'm hoping to participate next year. As for the life drama - it's a little bit weird why your friend A doesn't want you date her sister. Why? Does she know some dark secret about you and doesn't want her sister to get hurt by you? How old is the sister? Or is A very attracted to you herself and it'd hurt her to see you dating??? But wait, she's married. What does A's sister think of you? How come she's not allowed to decide for herself?

And no, don't give up on dating! Finding the right person in the end is totally worth the pain of getting there.

It sounds like your friend has feelings for you and is incredibly jealous of what you and her sister may have. I used to date my friends older brother - it was against her wishes but she did come around to it when she saw we were happy together. Have you asked why she doesn't want you are around, flirting or maybe sparking more with her sister?

All valid questions. She doesn't say anything about why she is against me and her sister except that it's her sister. She's a very passive aggressive person and doesn't talk about things that are troubling her inside. I feel bad for her husband cause he wants to help but she won't talk about it. The sister I think is 27 so not a huge age difference. Well on the cruise A's sister seemed very interested and was open to all my advances. We kissed and held hands and all that cute stuff. A's sister has her own issues as she still hangs around with her ex and thus isn't over him even though they aren't dating. She told me she wouldn't be ready to date me because of that...which was after the cruise. I haven't heard from the sister at all since A told her to never talk to her or me ever again. It's sad the way things go. I thought A would get a bit upset and then get over it but not to the point of completely disowning her sister. The Spartan Race is exactly like the Warrior Dash. I am planning on doing the Spartan Sprint, Warrior Dash and Super Spartan next year.

If your friend is married, then who you have a relationship with isn't really any of her business. If I were you, I will still pursue the sister, and your friend A will just have to get used to the idea. Especially if she can't really come up with a valid reason for her objections.... Perhaps I am seeing it in too much of a simple way.

For a grown woman, this A person seems to be acting quite immature. You probably should have (if you didn't) confessed to having real feelings for her sister (not just I want to get in her pants feelings) and maybe she would've felt better about it. I hate mixing friends and sibilings it normally doesn't end up well, but I'd never disown someone for doing it. She's handling it in the worst way possible. I'd call the sister, what do you have to lose now? Or move on! There are so many other girls out there who'd love to date you I am sure of it!
