I met Kat (then going by Kitty as Hurricane Katrina had recently happened and she did not like people making that joke about her name) in a bar when I was 23. She was 19 with a fake ID. We hooked up and we hung out as friends with benefits for a while before we developed feelings for each other and started seriously dating. We were together for a few years and were at no point exclusive. My first several threesomes were with her. She would wingman for me to get girls. I slept with more women and men in the two years we dated than in the years before and since. It ended because I had stupid pride about money issues and ended up leaving the expensive-ass city we lived in and that was the biggest regret of my life until I met the girl who became my wife so I can’t really complain about how things worked out.

Anyway, that’s condensing a lot into a vague paragraph but the reason I post is because the now early-30s Kat (she says “Kitty” sounded like call girl name but that was part of what she liked about it) is now a 2nd grade teacher at a Catholic School. Has she reformed her party girl ways for a more chaste life? Nope, she’s just more discrete. She has slowed down a bit since having a kid but her husband and girlfriend (the live-in “nanny” to strangers) still get up to polyamorous fun. I have visited her twice since she’s been married (once since I have been) and we hooked up both times. (The second time I also tried with the “nanny” but she wasn’t interested. She’s into guys, just wasn’t feeling me.) She tells me that dads from her school hit on her all the time but she turns them down for reasons of professionalism. She said she and her husband did swap with a dad of a former student once and his new wife (not the kid’s mom) at a “lifestyle” party. Anyway it’s got me wondering what the school teachers I had in Catholic grade school were secretly getting up to after hours.

This is terribly written. I have no second-language excuse I’m just sleep-deprived and wistful after randomly Facebook stalking my ex.
