A Week in Venice

I have always been amused by the thought that you believed you were 'in charge', when we parted.

I played you very well, I think. I had been in 'the business' of deflection, misinformation and straightforward deception, so it wasn't hard. When I say 'played', it wasn't like that at all to begin with. My motives and commitment were straight and honest. It was only when I found out you were going behind my back that I started to move in the opposite direction.

At first, in my mind, I forgave you the first instance. I thought that if you would commit then things would work out. You didn't saying you wanted to 'live'. My immediate thought was you wanted some freedom, but it was swiftly followed by the belief you wanted 'to play the field '. 

Consequently I did two things in parallel. I pressed you to commit but also knowing you were being unfaithful. I decided I needed a back up plan. That plan consisted of two parts.

One was that I was not going to confine myself to just you when you had already been with other men. Hence, the women you have seen in my blogs and the'activities' we indulged in. 

The second was to play you toward leaving, believe it or not without hurting you. I was far more considerate than you appeared to be. In the end it worked. I knew it had in Cyprus when we were there. My last proper visit in October confirmed it. You were quite weak in one area. That was your sexual appetite. If I had taken you to bed that would have stopped you.

My manipulation worked. although I went through the motions of being the aggrieved party and made you 'pay' for your behaviour. The reporting never bothered me because I knew I was immune, for reasons I can't disclose.

That is why I amused by you. The gloating and boasting, didn't become you at all, LL. Not that you really had something to gloat over or boast about, when it came down to it.

I have been having a great time here in Venice and come the weekend will be somewhere we once visited and shared together - Sorrento and the surrounding places. I have entertained quite a few others there since your visit in September 2003.

One other observation. I saw your man photographed with those children. They are nearly as tall as he is. Boy, is he short, real short (5' 0"?) and equally as round. Your choices of men to settle with have amazed me...or perhaps not.

Of course you let the best one slip through your fingers, didn't you.

Finally note. I've just bought three new cars. A new Aston Martin, a new Bentley and a Lincoln. Not much change out of $0.5m, but it's only money! If anyone has the right to gloat it's me, but I won't😎
