My own personal "L word"

I will preface this post by saying that ALL the names listed here have been changed to protect the innocent . . . or not so innocent, depending on how you view this.

I will also say that when I lived in Sioux Falls, SD, I spent a lot of time in the gay community. I knew that there was a lot of partner swapping had gone on, but was not aware of any that was currently going on. I also knew one of the "players" in town and nearly every woman I met had slept with her at one time or another.

I have an ex-girlfriend that I am fairly good friends with. Her name is "Diane". She lives in a fairly large city in Missouri. She knows people in this town (also of the lesbian bent). There are 2 couples. "Linda and Amber" and "Daisy and Stephanie". Currently Diane is living platonically with Stephanie. Linda and Amber do not live together and Daisy lives by herself. Daisy and Linda have been best friends for about 12 years.

Diane has been sleeping with Linda. . . f**k buddies, if you will. Diane and Stephanie have been talking and Stephanie told Diane that Linda has been hitting on her. Linda and Amber are basically "over" according to Linda, but Linda is afraid to tell Amber. Diane also found out from Stephanie that Amber has been sleeping with someone else on the side. It's all this ugly, convoluted mess.

Linda is actually angry that Amber is cheating on her. She is angry. To me that is very odd. She is angry at her partner for the same thing that she herself is guilty of. . . hmmmmm. And I thought that the L Word was a little over the top.
