Ask Toni: The Modern Custody Battle

Toni,

I dated a girl for 10 months and eventually lost interest because I felt we were better off as friends.  We shared a lot of the same interests and hobbies, and at one point, she even invited me to join her cycling group. 

After our split, she asked that I be dropped.  Everyone agreed and now I don’t have anyone to ride with.  Can’t we all just get along?

Bob,

Reality check, you lost the custody battle.  No sharing friends on weekends.  Just the thought of people in way-too-tight matching outfits, chafing their midsections makes me ill. 

Put the cleat on the other foot, how would you feel if you were dumped, and she was prancing around in a leotard like nothing happened? What if she added a new beau to the crew?  Swallow the rejection and join a gym.  The weather is always sunny and 68 degrees.

Toni
