I did not call them whores for their sexual choices in and of themselves.

I called my mom a whore for having an affair on my dad with whom she'd been married to for 25 years instead of being honest with him and telling him it was over. If she had been open about it and left him before she was with the other man I wouldn't be calling her a whore. I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't think of her as a whore.

I called my previous friend a whore for stringing me along and taking advantage of me, for lying about caring for me, and for manipulating me. It's not that I didn't want to have sex with her because I did. But I knew that wouldn't last forever, and I was okay with that. I'm not calling her a whore because she stopped having sex with me. I'm calling her a whore because she was obviously pretending to care about me, advanced on me in a time when SHE KNEW I was in a weak place, then wanted nothing more to do with me. She acted like a best friend, had sex with me, then told me not to talk to her anymore. If that doesn't make you a whore, or at least a shitty enough person to warrant being called one, then I guess I was wrong.

I am calling neither of them whores simply for having sex with other people than I would like them too. I'm calling my mom a whore for treating my dad who she was married to for 25 years like he doesn't matter when he was great to her and cheating on him instead of just telling him it was over. And I'm calling my friend a whore for using me for sex. Not because of her sexual choices, but for USING ME FOR SEX. If you can't understand the difference, then you aren't somebody I should be taking advice from anyway.

Like I said, this isn't all that devastating to me, at least now. I was just venting about it. My friendships may be more shallow than I wouild like, but they are at least there and they don't try to hurt me and they enjoy spending time with me.
