That's not love; not even close. I know it's a scandalous show and I <i>know</i> it's fiction. However, there are far too many women who are living (to a certain extent) the same lie Olivia is, but believing there's some sort of happy ending to be had. They have to decide whether they deserve better. That's my point.

She said, "He lies to the women in his life. You are a woman in his life. Thus..." She also felt their relationship needed more explanation than, well, he's sexy and affectionate, that's all, everything else is excused. Eventually she had to give up on the show because it was too crazy. I'd never heard about it until I read this.<br /><br />Sorry that your musician dude ditched you when you dragged your cookies all the way out to Destin. You are dead wrong when you wrote, "I was a jump-off, a side piece, a bit of fun and he owed me absolutely nothing." You are a human being and he owes you basic human decency. What anyone does with their naughty bits and with whom has absolutely no bearing on that. When his bros dragged their cookies out to Destin did he ditch them to hang out with his kids or did he respect the distance they traveled? When you wrote, "He would never truly be mine because he was committed to another woman and his children, which he should have been." Ummm, if he was truly committed to them, what was he doing running around with other ladies? He would never truly be yours because that's just not how he works. He's married and still running around. Obviously his wife wasn't #1 in his life. That wasn't the relationship that mattered, not when he's chasing other ladies.<br /><br />But I think we're all too mature to engage in slut-shaming. If a dude said, "I love married women; they go home." he would get high fives all around. If a lady loves her part-time married boyfriend (or even boyfriends), that's her business. It does not make her "nothing more than the President’s side dish" or "nothing more than his whore".<br /><br />Somehow, also, and remember I just learned about the show from your essay here, I think you may be getting upset at a show called "Scandal" because it is too scandalous. Which is fine if you're having fun because as I said earlier, my wife and I did find these essays funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
