Lindsay met a guy through a friend and in typical Lindsay fashion she began planning her wedding and perfect life with 2.5 kids and a dog... immediately. There was only one problem… Charles lived in another state, over 5 hours away. Long distance relationships can be successful and she was determined to be on that side of the statistics. Lindsay proposed they meet the last weekend of each month at whatever point between them was convenient for Charles. Charles was not as interested in pursuing a relationship as Lindsay so He picked a point that was about an hour drive for him and 7 for Lindsay. She quickly agreed! The problem that arose was that Lindsay had very poor night vision and getting off work at 5pm and hitting the road would be dangerous for her. Waiting until Saturday was not an option. So on the last Friday of each month, Lindsay called in sick. And would hit the interstate around noon in order to make it right before Chuck so she could freshen up and be ready for the weekend’s festivities which were usually dinner, movie, shopping and SEX. Lindsay footed the bill because she really liked Charles. Charles allowed Lindsay to pay for everything because he knew Lindsay really liked him and wanted interested in Lindsay for anything other than what he couldn’t get out of the situation, not to mention Charles was married and currently separated from his wife (which Lindsay knew). Month four was planned out as normal, Charles arrived empty handed, no overnight bag. He forgot it in his rush to work that morning because he was running late. Lindsay had the whole weekend planned and he would need fresh clothes so she took Charles shopping. One thing that Lindsay and Charles had in common was a love for the finer things in life, so they would definitely not be patronizing Wal-Mart or Target or even Marshall’s… Straight to Macy’s they go where Lindsay purchased 3 outfits for Charles (down to his boxers and socks). Charles is thankful and pays Lindsay with compliments on her beauty and of how lucky he is to have her in his life. During month 5, Lindsay starts to encourage Charles to relocate to be closer to her which immediately chokes Charles and he attempts to slow things down. They make arrangements for their usual rendezvous and on this weekend, Lindsay arrived Friday evening as usual. She waited and waited for Charles arrival. He wasn’t answering his phone, returning texts… No word. Lindsay panicked and called their mutual friend to see if he’d heard from Charles. He remarked not knowing the depth of the “relationship” that he’d gone to happy hour with Charles and he’d said he was heading home for the evening. What was going on? She began to cry, those tears lasted all night. Charles was a no show. Lindsay couldn’t face that long drive home just yet so she said in her suite for the weekend to gather her thoughts. And who comes a calling Late Saturday evening, Charles. Lindsay is so glad that he didn’t stand her up completely that she forgets about the lonely night and runs to his arms. While laying in bed after sex (making love in Lindsay’s mind), Charles tells Lindsay that he can no longer see her. He’s going to work things out with his wife. Please don’t call or email.
Is Lindsay a sucker for love?

This story is waaaay too familiar because I have 'friends' who have been and even one who IS Lindsay....Lindsay is past sucker. Lindsay is an idiot. For a second I was feeling bad for her until i read that she KNEW he was still married & with his wife. Could be the Married Woman in me that has no sympathy for such trifling activity, I guess. Lindsay needs to 'man up' and accept that she was never number one to begin with and move on because, just as any and everyone else, she deserves better. Unless she is the type that thrives on heartbreak and unrealistic situations....know now that if he hadn't left his wife already for Lindsay, he surely isn't going to make that much more of an effort to do so.
