Pavlina divorce

Remember when I wrote about one of my favorite bloggers deciding to enter into a polyamory relationship with his wife? I was pretty shocked. Well, last week they announced they are divorcing. Which is odd because a couple days before the announcement I had a dream I went to one of his Conscious Growth Workshops and he kept hitting on me and all the other women in attendance and I felt HORRIBLE for his wife. And then a couple days later it comes out they are divorcing. Could I have psychically tapped into his consciousness? At any rate, the one thing I can say about Pavlina is: he is always interesting. Polyamory, juice diets, graphic descriptions of his bowel movements… I just keep reading.

One of my other favorite bloggers has gone through something similar. The Sartorialist suddenly has a French girlfriend! I totally missed the post where he mentioned what happened to his wife and children. ‘Cause he had them and then suddenly they are GONE and girlfriend Garance is here! I get an icky feeling each time I read his posts in which he gushes about Garance because I can’t help but feel bad for his wife and kids. Maybe it’s not so bad. I really don’t know the situation.

That’s the problem with these crazy digital relationships…. you think you know people because you read them every day. But it turns out you know jack sh*t. Who can blame them for leaving out the most important parts of their life? It’s not our business. And we are left guessing.

Change happens. Lord knows I’ve gone through different boyfriends on this blog, old friends disappear, new friends appear… things change and you just keep writing.
