I need my boyfriend to have a mistress that speaks english

Y ahora q me vas a decir? Bueno gracias por todo.. A pesar de tu engano te ame y te amo que seas muy feliz....

Have you ever received a facebook picture comment like this on a picture of your own boyfriend and you together? I did. While on vacation. While walking around downtown Seattle with a good friend. And the only way I could get the exact translation immediately, which was vital because I recognized "I love you", was to run into the nearest place where I was comfortable, Nordstroms. I grabbed the first white person I could find (because I didn't want to accidentally grab an Asian and ask if they spoke Spanish...) at the makeup counter and asked if ANYBODY spoke Spanish because I needed a translation pronto. This very sweet handsome man came over and read through it...looked at me and smiled and said "He loves you!!" And I smiled back and very gently replied "No, SHE loves MY boyfriend." He patted my shoulder softly and apologized then walked away. Having embarrassed myself just enough I grabbed my girlfriend off the floor (she was mighty angry with me for actually going through with asking a random person in Nordstroms of all places to translate my heartache) and walked out to the streets trying to maintain composure and holding back screams. Heartache hurts. I am not new to this feeling and I am not new to this feeling being caused by this particular girl. Just over a month ago, I remember mentioning to my friend that I was just super annoyed by this girl that kept "liking" my boyfriends photos on facebook. She even had the nerve to tag herself in pictures that she clearly was not in. Fast forward just over a week and I am on vacation and visiting my boyfriend when I get a new post on facebook. The best thing about this social networking site is the fact that it leaves nothing unknown. As soon as one person comments on a picture I have graced with my own words, I am notified. On this particular day, this girl wrote nearly a novel on a picture of my boyfriend saying how much she loved him and just went on and on and on. So I asked him if she was in love with him and what is going on. He tried to translate some for me and then got on facebook and deleted the post. A bit later she sent him a message which I had the privilege of reading...according to her broken English, it brings her much joy to hear him say I love you. How fantastic for her. I had asked him numerous times why she would feel this way and so forth...I didn't exactly get any clear answers except that she is crazy. As much as one thinks this would make you feel better, it in fact does not. And as somebody who needs to have all the answers, this just frustrates the heck out of me. So during my day exploring the beautiful city of Seattle, the day spent with my good friend, the day the sun actually shined...during the day when I was absolutely certain that I would never hear of this girl again, that above message appears on facebook from her on a picture of me and my boyfriend during my vacation with him. The part that hurt the absolute most is that he did not find this to be emergent and I was forced to wait nearly 36 hours to discuss it. He promised that he would delete her this time and get it taken care of. Dare to ask if this ever happened? Four days later, today, I log onto my facebook to find a friend request from this girl!!! Why me.....you know....it is just this awkward feeling that she keeps popping up whenever I least expect it. I refrained from accepting the request. But I did email her and ask exactly why she wants to be my friend when she is in love with my boyfriend? She replied " Preguntale quien es ******** ****** su novia de Venezuela" which roughly translates into "Ask him who is his girlfriend in Venezuela." Right. So once again the boyfriend says he will delete her right away and then promptly asks how to block her. Five hours later she is still our one mutual friend. Curio. I do love him...but I can not help but get a bit disheartened after all this. And now...we will just keep playing this game...see where it takes me. Hopefully she does get deleted soon. Hopefully I get real answers too. And hopefully this does not cause me so much stress that my hair starts falling out. Hopefully.

  3. To carry Kenzie's point...

    Mi abuela solĂ­a decir ... "Si se ve como un perro y ladra como un perro, es un perro".

    Oh wait, you don't have a Nordstroms there to translate! LOL sorry, couldn't help myself. My grandmother used to say, if it barks like a dog, looks like a dog, it IS a dog.

    No matter what, know that you are loved, and deservedly so, by so many good people. Not to mention you're in Alaska, where the ratio is definitely in your favor ;-) xoxoxo
