Strawberry Letter 23: Hypocrite
Dear Uncle Steve and Shirley,
I am a 27 year old dating someone who is younger (22). I recently moved about 1000 miles away. It was hard for him to handle the distance, so we separated for about 3 months. We are back together now and I told myself that I wouldn’t ask him about things that may or may not have happened when we were apart.
Well, of course I decided to ask him if he had sex with anyone while we were apart and if so when was the last time. His response was, “Are you sure you want to know the answer to that?” I prepared myself for the worst possible response. Well, long story made short. He slept with 3 women while we were apart and the last one was two weeks before he came to visit me.
In my mind three means about six. This was very upsetting to me. He is supposed to be a Christian man-let him tell it. Anytime we have sex, I get this lecture about how we shouldn’t be doing this because it will take away from what we have. I understand this because we aren’t married and we are both Christians. But I had to ask him if he gave them this same lecture. He said no because he didn’t care about them and doesn’t care about the connection that they would have.
I really think he’s a big ass hypocrite. Uncle Steve/Shirley I am deeply hurt and confused. Should I be angry, because I am?
