Shit Lesbians Say, Do & Why Being Single Is A Plus

No this is not some April Fools post (I stopped that b.s. when I was in middle school…and hopefully so did every other grown ass woman) what you’re about to see and read are things I could not make up if you paid me (and trust, my imagination is very wild).

Let’s start here: 

I used to love the Between Women series (Team Winney & Gabby!) and this video, no matter how many times I see it, cracks me the hell up. Why? Because it’s so sad, yet so true! 

Games: As Keith told Shante in Two Can Play That Game: “You play more games than the whole damn NBA.” You’ve heard about them, you’ve seen them, you’ve probably lived them. The yes yes, no no, I don’t know if I’m bisexual or truly a lesbian, I think I’m still in love with my ex, baby daddy/ex-husband drama. If it’s not the games it’s the drama. Why? What happened to being grown ups?!? 

Psycho Control Freaks: Now don’t get me wrong, I love me an Alpha female. I’m a control freak too…but there is clearly a fine line between being assertive and being a psycho. I follow a few Lesbian Pages on Facebook and lately they have been flooded with members questions about their partner being considered disrespectful because she likes a friends pictures on Facebook, or whether or not their partners are allowed to have new friends or friends outside of their relationship, or them being upset because their partner greets their neighbors. Yes, sick shit! So what’s next? Curfew? Picking out your partners clothes? Weekly Allowance? Stalking? Your partner is not your property, pet, or child. You can’t make a grown woman do anything she does not want to do no more than she can make you do what you do not want to do.

Jealousy & Insecurity: They’re like Ebony & Ivory only this is NOT, I repeat NOT PERFECT HARMONY. This video explains it all. If the woman you’re dating or in a relationship with is pulling this Dr. Jeykll/Mr. Hyde mess run in the other direction. Because as Martin says “the shit don’t get any better.” 

Some will criticize Singlehood, saying that we’re always lonely, unhappy, miserable, etc. But I have to admit at this stage in my life I am enjoying it. I go out when I want to, host parties and game nights when I want some company, my career and future are #1 on my list, and most importantly I don’t have to deal with the drama and craziness that seems to be taking over the Lesbian community. I’m open to a loving relationship but I know this mess is not what qualifies a relationship as being healthy. 

So until the right one comes along I’m happily single and loving it…
